I am a 58 year old woman that has endured for the past 15 years, severe dark circles under my eyes with sagging eyebrows. This imperfection aged my facial appearance at least 10 years and no over-the-counter makeup offered a solution. As a result of a traumatic automobile accident involving my daughter, Dr. Smith performed reconstructive hand surgery, and reconstructive plastic surgery of her right leg, demonstrating his vast knowledge and expertise. After many years of vacillating between having eyelid surgery and continuing to employ various methods of concealment, my indecision soon began to fade as I observed Dr. Smith’s competence as a surgeon while he repaired my daughter step by step. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Smith and was treated professionally and graciously. He explained all details of the surgical procedure for eyelid surgery including what my expectations were, as well as preoperative and postoperative care. The consultation was so detailed I decided to schedule a facelift instead. My surgical procedure rendered no postoperative bleeding, minimal swelling, no numbness and only minor discomfort with minimal itching of the forehead and scalp. Most visual signs of surgery were camouflaged with light makeup in 5 to 7 days.

My life has changed as 10 to 15 years have been removed from my face, rendering me self-assured and self-confident with my appearance. Family members, friends and professional colleagues give compliment after compliment, often asking the infinite question, what have you done? You look beautiful! As a healthcare professional for over 37 years, I can make an affirmative declaration that Dr. Smith is a dedicated, highly-skilled and progressive plastic surgeon that is truly a patient advocate. I recommend Dr. Smith without reservation.

Both my daughter and I thank you, Dr. Smith.
