About

Dr. Kent (Kye) Higdon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon at Higdon Plastic Surgery in Franklin, Tennessee. He specializes in aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery, focusing on breast surgery, including breast reduction, reconstruction (post-cancer and DIEP flap), implant revision, and masculinizing top surgery. Dr. Higdon also provides non-surgical treatments such as Neurotoxin Injections (Dysport), Dermal Fillers, XERF Skin Tightening, and Medical Grade Skincare. Dr. Higdon's philosophy centers on achieving thoughtful, natural results, always tailored to the individual. He believes the best aesthetic outcomes stem from understanding the underlying reasons for facial changes, and his goal is to create personalized treatment plans that align with patient goals, not simply to perform more treatments. He uses a subtle approach with neurotoxins like Dysport to soften lines while maintaining natural movement. For breast augmentation, he utilizes Preservé™ by Motiva, an in-office procedure designed for a less-invasive approach with small incisions. His team ensures patients feel informed, supported, and cared for from consultation to follow-up.

What is XERF Skin Tightening and what are its benefits?
XERF is an advanced, non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to tighten and lift the skin. It delivers energy into multiple layers beneath the skin surface, stimulating collagen to improve firmness and overall skin quality and texture. The goal is a refreshed, firmer appearance that still looks completely natural. XERF involves no needles, no surgery, and has minimal to no downtime. It can be used to treat areas of both the face and body, making it a great non-surgical option for addressing skin laxity.

Are there any special offers for XERF treatments?
Yes, when you purchase a package of 3 XERF treatments, you will receive a free Ultra laser treatment and 10 free units of Botox/Dysport, valued at $1,030.

What factors contribute to facial aging and how are they addressed?

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$17,824

Payments

39

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Kent (Kye) Higdon received $17,824 across 39 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as honoraria, and the largest single payer was Elutia, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
