Breast surgery covers a wider range of concerns than most patients expect when they begin researching. Some are seeking added volume or restored shape after pregnancy and breastfeeding, others want relief from the neck and shoulder discomfort that comes with disproportionately large breasts, and a significant number arrive looking to correct or reverse the results of a previous surgeon’s work. Dr. Claire B. Davis is a board eligible female plastic surgeon in Asheville who performs the full range of aesthetic breast procedures, each planned around your individual anatomy and goals.
Dr. Davis completed a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she trained in both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, including autologous tissue and implant-based reconstruction. That reconstructive background informs her aesthetic work, particularly in revision cases where prior surgery has altered the anatomy. She is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and performs all procedures in a private AAAASF-accredited surgical facility with advanced anesthesia monitoring and private recovery suites.
For many patients, the fact that Dr. Davis is one of few female plastic surgeons practicing in the Asheville market matters as much as the credentials behind her name.
Areola reduction resizes enlarged or stretched areolas to better suit the breast, using a discreet incision hidden at the areola’s border.
For patients seeking a subtle, natural increase in breast volume without implants, fat transfer breast augmentation offers an elegant alternative.
Breast implant removal, also called explant surgery, takes out breast implants and, when appropriate, the surrounding scar-tissue capsule.
Revision surgery addresses complications from previous procedures, including implant malposition and capsular contracture. Dr. Davis employs precision techniques to correct issues and achieve desired outcomes.
Reduction mammaplasty alleviates physical discomfort while preserving sensation and blood supply. Dr. Davis removes excess tissue and repositions the nipple-areola complex for proportional contours.
Breast lift surgery employs tailored mastopexy techniques based on breast size and sagging degree. Dr. Davis removes excess skin and repositions tissue for youthful contours.
Breast augmentation uses advanced techniques with saline and silicone implants, tailored to each patient’s anatomy. Dr. Davis personalizes sizing and placement for natural-looking enhancement.
Patients frequently arrive certain they need one procedure and leave the consultation understanding that another, or a combination, would better serve their goals. Sagging that appears to call for implants is often better addressed with a lift; patients seeking a modest change may be better suited to fat transfer than to augmentation. Dr. Davis evaluates breast tissue quality, skin laxity, symmetry, and your stated goals before recommending an approach, and will tell you directly when a procedure is not the right fit.
Yes. Breast lift with augmentation is among the most common combinations, and breast procedures are frequently performed alongside abdominal contouring as part of a mommy makeover. Combining procedures consolidates recovery into a single period.
Most patients are advised to be at a stable weight and, if breastfeeding, several months past weaning before surgery, so that results are not altered by subsequent changes. Dr. Davis discusses timing individually during consultation.
No. All procedures are performed in Dr. Davis’s private AAAASF-accredited facility in downtown Asheville, with the same accreditation standards applied in major metropolitan surgical centers.
