Dr Smith exceeded all of my expectations. He and his staff were excellent from start to finish. He took as much time as I needed to discuss what I wanted and answered all of my questions. His facility is top notch as well. I look forward to using Dr Smith again in the future.
January 2019 I was in a pretty bad car accident. Airbags didn’t deploy, so nose met steering wheel! I had two fractures in the nasal bone and my left side cartilage was pushed in, forming a “dent” on the outside of my nose. Fast forward a few months, I met with dr Adrian Smith to discuss putting my nose “back to normal”. He addressed all of my concerns and his demeanor just put me at ease about the whole situation. I’m 3 days post op and already very pleased with my results.
Dr smith and his staff are great! He has done more than i ever thought was possible by making me love my body again! I never knew this was possible. He and his staff made my expirence wonderful. i would recomend everyone use him!
Extremely professional, transparent and kind staff and doctor. Enjoyable experience from beginning to end of procedure. I went from and N to a C. Highly recommend due to amazing skills and personality.
I am almost 1 month post-op(tuesday will be 1 month)! I have waited for this for years. Lots of discomfort and severe neck pain. Bulging disc in neck that stayed flared up and stiff. Constant headaches. Went to several doctors for treatment/test to at the end being told that getting the weight from my chest off would be the only relief without multiple meds on a daily basis, which i was sick of. Could not get insurance to pay (crappy) so i couldnt afford til i saved up!! Best thing ive ever done for myself and my family!! The first week after surgery was tough, im not gonna lie!! But after the first week had passed i could say that the money and pain was worth it. Im still uncomfortable and sleeping still sucks but im happy i did it!! Its only been a month and my incisions are closed up and i am healing well. I have only done scar massage as a form of helping the scars to smooth out. My right breast is looking great whereas my left is rather odd looking and does not look the same as my right but im not gonna sweat that.....still look much better than before with the perk of well.....i dont know because ive never been this perky!!! Ha I go for another check up June 16th i believe so i will post an update then!! Oh and also my right breast has nipple sensation...more than ever before and i cannot feel the left so we will see at dr apt what we are going to do about it. Honestly, i had rather not have the feeling in the right as it gets hard and get pretty out there if u know what i mean and its not pretty to me!! Also the intense sensation kinda hurts this close out from surgery. Anyway, i have kept up with pictures from pre-op til now that i am posting. See yall in 2 weeks!!! Updated on 29 Oct 2017:
I started with a full B , full at the bottom totally no fullness up top !!! At first I was going to go with mod profile and 300cc but decided that wouldn't put me at the desired full D cup I wanted . I used dr Adrian smith and he chose high profile 385cc ! 7 days post op and they already look amazing !!! Updated on 3 Nov 2016: Not going to lie , I went through weeks I hated my implants ! One was bigger , one was higher , they weren't the D cup I wanted after swelling went down ! So , after having some patience and waiting the full 6 weeks I am happy to say they have totally evened out , their measuring a full D cup , and I love them !!!! I'm so OCD it was hard to wait 6 weeks to assess the final results . I emailed my doctors assistant a few times before 6 weeks with concerns . I am really glad I paid the extra money and went with the gel implants , I'm absolutely amazed at how incredibly real my breast feel ! Also , I wanted to add , I've seen so many women say you'll never be able to sleep on your stomach again ? I don't have a problem with the implants feeling uncomfortable when I sleep on my stomach . In closing : I love my implants ! I am so glad I chose Dr. Adrian Smith as he works with many other doctors I had to choose from ! After seeing his work first hand and LOVING the way his breast augmentations looked (not in the collarbone fake) I trusted I'd be happy with my results !
Hi everyone. If you are anything like me- I enjoy looking GOOD! Im a African American 28 year old female who was ready for a CHANGE. I had my TT on 3/5/2013 in Jackson, MS. I got a TT because I have 2 children- 12,3- and my belly was sitting in my lap =). I felt ok with my appearance (wearing gridles) but I want my high school body back 5'7- 140pds. I am tried of wearing uncomfortable gridles everywhere I go- they push my breast up and I hate that =(. I've spent alot of money on shapewear to find myself still feeling self conscious when I take them off. I am 2 week post op today and I love the results so far! I am still very swollen but love the results! My goal was to have a hour glass figure and I feel that I'm almost there- yay! The still feel uncomfortable due to the tightness in my stomach area. Everything is healing rather quickly. My scar is thin and very low- hip to hip. As of today 3/20, I am able to stand/walk upright. I was unable to last week =(. It still hurts to cough/laugh =(! I returned to work two days ago and I feel fine. I sit at a desk for 8 hours so its ok to return to work if you are not doing alot of moving. The only thing I can say is : TRY IT LADIES! Im pleased after 2weeks! Im very swollen but still see the difference. People would tell me- Just exercise- no ladies, in my opinion, you can exercise all day everyday and still have the BABY FLAP. Trust me- I Know! Some of my stretch marks are still here. Im using cocoa butter (Queen Helene). Ladies, please do not be afraid to invest in yourself! My 12 year motivates me with positive words. She'S contantly behind me monitoring what I eat =). Ladies- DO SOMETHING FOr yourselF- invest in you!!! =) Updated on 22 Mar 2013: Day 18- Wk2 I made a huge mistake today! I have been wearing, sports wear, since my TT and today I wante to be cute. I am wearing jeans, blazer, tank, heels (no binder) Huge MISTAKE. I felt like i was about to POP about an hour ago! Now I am at my desk-as u all know, I returned to wk on Monday (2wks PO-TT) with my binder on, heels off, jeans unbotton =0. I feel so swollen! The swelling occurs at the drop of a dime =(! I am so ready for a FULL recovery- I want to wear regular clothes. Are you all feeling comfortable in regular clothes? Updated on 26 Mar 2013: Well Im feeling like my swelling is going down and I'm still a little (rounded#. I do not know if my PS took off enough skin or if my tummy is still swollen #Skin is soft#. I am hoping that I do not have to go back for liposuction- this stuff is expensive =#. Any advice ladies? Updated on 27 Mar 2013: Well, today has been very depressing for me. I feel like I'm going to have to have a TT revision. I truly cannot afford any more procedures at this time. No one told me that this could happen. I saved for 3 years to pay for this procedure! I thought having this procedure done would make me feel better. I felt better the first 2 weeks because I had wishful thoughts (seeing what's actually not there). I'm at a point where I feel that I should have gone out of town to have my procedure done. I wanted to be closer to home to relax after the procedure. I'm hoping my PS can tell me something more than (wait for the swelling to stop)! I was on the tiolet last night and I couldnt see my cooch =(. I was like omg! I've paid thousands of dollars to see it daily and still can't. I am dieting now but still want my tummy to be flat. I've compared my tummy to several of the posted pics at 3wk post op- they have much smaller stomachs. I still have poor waist proportion (as before), bulging abdominal appearance (as before). My skin is soft and flabby (flank area) hard (from swelling) in my lower ab area. Any suggestions ladies??? Updated on 3 Apr 2013: well today I am 4 weeks post opp and I saw my doctor today. He said I'm still very swollen and to take it slow. I asked about my fat areas on the side, he said t hat the liposuction couldn't remove all of the fat....ugh-really?? to wait until the swelling goes down to see the results......so I guess I will have to wait months from now to know if I have the results I want. I still love my PS for what has been done so far. My scar is low & healing well! so I'm pleased as of now! Updated on 5 Apr 2013: 4 week post op pictures are being posted- Swell hell isn't going anywhere so I have to work with it-ugh. Some days are better than others, I do not regret having the TT- Yay! Updated on 15 Apr 2013: 6 Weeks Post Op and I Feel great! I am still concerned with the area the drains came out of but Im overrall ok. I think that after the swelling is completely gone, I will be FINE again..=)... Now its time to start back exercising. Any suggestions ladies for back fat- no lipo on this area. I want to get everything back in place. Updated on 18 Apr 2013: Well ladies, I am finally back at the gym- cardio only. Yay!!!! Updated on 23 Apr 2013: Ok ladies, so I tried to get sexy for the hubby last night. Pics posted- and before I finished practicing my performance- SWELL HELL- kicked in. My suit was sooooooo tight, I felt like a balloon with too much air in it (pop)! I felt sexy for five minute! I am so sick of swelling up plus the two side areas are still fat- I think Im going to discuss this with my PS. No loving for the hubby- Swell hell is killing me. =) Updated on 24 Apr 2013: Hi ladies, I just felt like taking pictures last night so view my photos and tell me what you all think....=)... 7 wks post op and I am feeling well. Yay! no complains (other than the fat love handles but this will be discussed with my PS (next visit 5/8/13) =)... Updated on 24 Apr 2013: More pictures added today ladies... view and give me your opinions Updated on 25 Apr 2013: Yay!!! Updated on 25 Apr 2013: tt Updated on 25 Apr 2013: Ok. I cannot add any more pics because my computer is going crazy- ugh. Updated on 1 May 2013: Hi ladies. Im 8 weeks post op and I am amazed at how rapidly Im healing. I am still swelling but I can see my final results coming (mornings). I am still concerned with my jiggly side fat- I will discuss this with my PS soon- hopefully we can resolve this problem b4 I completely heal. I am exercising regularly and eating right (no time to waste money). Question for you ladies: is it to early for me to do crunches? I have been doing 100 (40pds) 3 days per week at our company's gym. Plus I have started back using my contour belt I purchased after having my son (4yrs ago). lol- I wish some1 would have told me that my muscles were loss from pregnancies and I needed a TT =(... Live and Learn =).. Now that I have my TT, Im wondering if it is safe to use my Contour belt (this thing is amazing). My muscles are very tight! Share your thoughts. Updated on 9 May 2013: Well, yesterday I went to see my PS and he didnt exactly say what I wanted to hear. He told me there was no way poosible to remove the fat with liposuction while doing the full tummy tuck. He said that most women return after the tummy tuck to have liposuction in their stomach area. Huh!?--- I actually thought that a full tummy tuck (7k) would take care of everything as far as losing the pear shape- and the lap over my vagina area-- he said that everyone is left with fat after a TT in that area. My sides stick out causing me to look rounded. Ladies, did your PS tell you all the same? I have been looking at pics of other ladies and they have a contoured waistline. So now I have to go back- at a discounted rate- and get liposuction 2 make my stomach flatter-wth! I really can't afford it! I saved for 4 years to have this procedure and now I'm left with having to spend more on the results I was suppose to have at 1st! I am on a strict diet and exercising so maybe this will help me. I still hate the fact my sides are fat and giggly. I feel like I did not invest my money well bc of the results I have. =(.. Look at my new photots ladies....pic10, 11 Updated on 14 May 2013: I am so disappointed! I received a quote today for $2900 to have lipo of my flanks done... Im guessing this is the discounted price my PS said I would receive since he couldn't lipo the area during the TT. I feel so bad today because I just paid 7k and I do not know where I am going to get $2900 for another procedure! I clearly thought that I would have the shape I wanted after the procedure. Instead I am left with puffy love handles that makes my results look the same-ugh!!! I thought it was swollen but its actually fat. I feel so disappointed. I no longer have the flap in the front for dang- I wanted a contoured waist line. Im lost at this point because I feel like more lipo (flanks)should have been done during my TT. I am dieting and exercising but the love handles arent going anywhere..... This is bull! =( Updated on 10 Jun 2013: Hello ladies! I am feeling so good at 15wks post op. Im losing weight and my swelling isn't as bad as it was in the beginning. Ive lost 10 pounds (start) and I feel much better about my appearance. I was wearing a sz. 12 now I am wearing a 9- Yay! My daugther told me that my personality is changing because all I want to do is go to the gym and snap pictures. Ladies, I truly feel good! Im loving the skin I am in today! I am still thinking about seeing another surgeon to lipo my flanks to give me a hour glass figure- I wish it would have been done at 1st but oh well..... Im waiting to see my full results!! ;))))..... new pics included Updated on 20 Jun 2013: Well, today Im feeling good and relaxed. My swelling is subsiding and I am happy with it! I had to wear my binder on monday because I felt like I was about to pop (cokes)! Now everything is going down and Im ok. I had to find the silly thing bc I never wear it. I stopped wearing my binder at 12weeks. It is too hot in MS to wear this thing lol. Wish me luck ladies- I still want my flanks lipoed so now I have to start saving my money =).. Updated on 26 Jun 2013: hi- ladies... Just wanted you all to see my progress. Pictures posted. I feel amazing. Flanks are big and jiggly but im ok. I need a loan to get this fixed! =( Updated on 26 Jun 2013: Updated on 28 Jul 2013: well, im 4 months post op and im searching for another ps to give me the body I want! I am still experiencing swelling ,& I no longer wear my garment, too hot...everybody tell me I look great but I still do not have a flat stomach, better than what it was....flanks look huge which make me have a pear shape n certain clothing..everything is still flabby after 4 months..I am waiting to see how I look after d swelling is gone....:( Updated on 7 Aug 2013: feeling some kind of way tonight ugh....making arrangements to see another ps Updated on 16 Aug 2013: Hi every1. I am 4 months post op and I feel horrible. I still have to wear a gridle to give me the shape I want (body magic). I spent 7k to not have to wear this garment-smh.... I cant wait until I save enough money to get back on the table. I am so disappointed at this point. I am still swelling in certain areas (flanks are FAT). I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I haven't been back to my PS because after receiving a NEW estimate to do what wasn't done in the beginning, I really do not want to be disappointed again. Great guy but his work isn't the best. =( I am so lost at this point every1.... Updated on 16 Aug 2013: 4 months post op Updated on 18 Sep 2013: still have a pear shape....not satisfied at this point....my ps saw my pictures today and wants to schedule an appointment.. im very skeptical because the last time I was there, he gave me a quote for $3900 to get Lipo...huh??? this was included in my full tt...flanks are making me depressed....pear shape Updated on 7 Oct 2013: I asked the doctors on this website about revision cost.....rude lady! :(... Im guessing if ps promise us (b4 paying) the realistic goal (given pictures) that we will have afterwards and we do not get them-u are expecting free surgery! really doctors???!! I am exactly Updated on 22 Nov 2013: Greetings, well I'm 8 months post op and I feel much better! I am still going through SWELL HELL so do not expect this 2 change (pre-op ppl) =). I am still not satisfied with my flanks but I have found a solution (corset training). I haven't lost any weight nor gain any. I love my wide hips so I'm afraid of losing them with the weight (crazy me). I rather have a hour glass figure. I'm still thinking about going back to have my flanks lipoed to give me the shape I want. Everybody is saying IM FINE but I want my jiggly flanks gone asap (by next summer) so now I'm saving my pennies again. I bought a new ride 2 go with my new body so it may take longer for the pennies to add up. Wish me well ladies- until next time ( i will try to post pics soon). Updated on 25 Nov 2013: Hi- Im feeling ok with my tummy tuck now- my xorset training is going well and I am losing inches. Wish me luck ladies Updated on 23 Mar 2014: Well ladies, here I am... still dreaming of having my dream body after a year later. Ive lost 20 pounds since my TT and still have loose skin and fat flanks (my PS first said it was swelling-(6months later) -2nd, I had to lose weight to see my results- 3rd, to pay 3500 for revision. All in all, im staying positive but want you all to do your research on your PS. Hes a great guy but my goals were not met (no fault of mines) .... Updated on 23 Mar 2014: Tell me what u think.....swell hell still exist after a year ladies Updated on 16 Jun 2014: I have lost 15 pounds since having my TT last year ( I guess my doctor was wrong about the results I shouls see after losing weight) I still swell after 16 months. I am saving my pennies to go to Dr. Curves to improve my results. I am so scared because I thought my 1st PS would be my last. I am disappointed in my doctor but oh well. I still have the pear shape. Updated on 23 Nov 2014: Hello everyone, I've realized its been 2 years since I've had my TT. Am I pleased with my results- yes & no. Yes because my tummy look flatter than what it was. No because I was lied to by my PS- 1st i was told to wait until the swelling subsidies to see my results, 2nd-to lose weight to see my results (I've lost weight), 3th to have revision surgery. After I was given a quote for revision surgery-i never returned to my PS. I feel like should have made a better investment in myself. I found a doctor in Atlanta, Dr. Curves, and his work is. Amazing! I am saving my pennies again to get rid of my pear shape. Exercise is not doing it for me...I continue to exercise for my health (job requirement also). All n all ladies make sure you do not end up feeling what I feel two years after PS. I feel beautiful until I take my clothes off and look at my shark bite(scar) & stubborn flanks lol. My hour glass figure will have to wait (my motherly duties & obligations are calling-no money to waste for bad results...Ask your PS to be open/honest about your expected results-take dream pics to your appointment--ask questions and go with your gut instincts. ..I should have after following these steps.....enjoy your day Updated on 12 Jan 2016: Well, it has been 2 years since I've had my TT (3/5/2013) and it look the same after losing weight (My doctor said I had to lose weight to see my results). I feel very sexy but still want to see another doctor for revision. I have Dr. Curves in mind but can't afford his expensive price. I really wish I would gone to him in the first place but knew nothing about him. I feel so betrayed by my PS because I showed him pictures of what I expected and he said he could give me those results- LIE! It was Nothing unrealistic..- I was happy with myself before the procedure. As of today, my scar is still thick and I still have to wear/buy expensive garments (after losing the weight he recommended to see my results). I do not swell anymore- yay- so ladies that will not last forever. My love handles are still there as they appear in the photo after my TT (Doctor claimed it was swelling) All-in-all, ladies do your homework. I loved my PS welcoming attitude but I wish he would referred me to another doctor if he couldn't give me the realistic results I wanted. =) Updated on 1 Feb 2017: Hello. 4 years later and I am still considering going back to have ps. This time I will make sure I cross my Ts???? Updated on 28 Jul 2017: Years later after losing weight my TT still look the same (plus exercising and dieting). I recommend everyone not to waste their money here. I am now planning to see Dr. Manon (DR) or Dr. Curves to snatch my waist and give me a makeover. I truly wish I would have stepped out of my comfort zone to see another doctor. I wanted to be closer to home because of the discomfort. But what I truly hate is going through the severe pain and discomfort for nothing. I knew from Day 1 it was not simply just swelling ( as I was told). After 6 months, the swelling went down and I looked the same. Ladies, be careful who you trust to do your procedures.

You really need to ask your PS. I prefer that my patients refrain from any working out for 2-3 weeks. It’s close to 6 weeks before I allow any upper body exercise. You really need time for the chest to heal. The time off is highly variable and depends on implant placement and type of implant used.
You have provided plenty of good information but the best thing you can do is discuss it in detail with your PS. Make sure he is aware of the physical difference between your breast. Give him a good description of what you want to look like after surgery. Most PS can use this information to get the patient exactly what they want. The satisfaction rate for this surgery is through the roof so I’m sure you will do great!
Considering your current pictures and what you would like for your breast to look like in the future, I would recommend getting a lift. A lift will help tighten the lower pole of your breast while placing your nipple/areola higher. This will in turn give you a fuller perkier breast. Shape trumps scars but it is very understandable to have concerns about scars on your breast. It is also an option to have the implants placed and come back later for the lift. While having two operations is not ideal and can be more expensive, it is certainly an option. Good luck with your decision.
This type of question is very difficult to answer with out seeing you in person. I would certainly ask you PS what is going on. It is certainly possible that the healing is taking longer than usual. That just may be the way you are. Some patients will take a month or so to get back to close to normal. It may also be a fluid collection or possibly some edema within the soft tissue of the abdominal wall. Sounds like you are doing everything else correct. Good luck.
It really depends on what type of operation you had and where your implants are placed. A general rule of thumb is if it doesn't hurt then its probably ok. Check with your doctor and see if you implants are above or below the muscle.
