IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion for maximum absorption, faster results, and whole-body replenishment.

Precision Nutrition, Delivered Where It Counts

At Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, we believe optimal results, surgical or otherwise, require a body that is functioning at its best. NPSI's IV therapy menu was developed with the same standard of care that board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jacob Unger brings to every procedure: evidence-informed, medically supervised, and designed with your specific goals in mind. Whether you're preparing for surgery, recovering from a procedure, or simply investing in your everyday vitality, our curated drip menu offers a targeted, in-office solution.

What Is IV Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy delivers essential micronutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. When you take a vitamin orally, it must pass through your digestive system a process that can reduce absorption to as little as 10–20% of the original dose. IV delivery bypasses that process entirely.
By delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV vitamin therapy ensures higher bioavailability, allowing for immediate absorption and utilization by tissues and cells. This makes it particularly effective for those recovering from surgery, experiencing nutrient depletion, seeking a targeted energy or immune boost, or looking to support skin health and hydration from within.
Each drip at NPSI is a fixed, expertly balanced formulation administered in-office by our clinical team.
