Top Plastic Surgeon!
I chose Dr. Smith for submental liposuction with VASER and FaceTite after consulting with several surgeons in NYC. He and his staff were phenomenal throughout the whole process, from the consultation through the procedure and follow-up. I'm only a few weeks out, so I know the final result is still developing as the swelling resolves and the skin tightening continues, but I'm already really happy with how things look so far. I'd highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone considering

Dr. Smith - Best Plastic Surgeon, Best Experience
I have been seeing Dr. Smith for several years. I started with Botox, then Sculptra, and now Morpheus8. Dr. Smith's approach is the best - he always goes for the most natural look, never tries to "sell", and is beyond patient. He has no ego and is so approachable. His offices are stunning and his staff is lovely. I did my research and he's board certified (don't even think of going to someone who isn't!) and has been trained at the best schools and hospitals in the world.

An Incredible Surgeon with an Outstanding Team at His Side
Dr. Smith and everyone on his team are truly a dream to work with, from start to finish, and that is why I have returned to this practice multiple times: tummy tuck, breast implants, upper blepheroplasty, FaceTite, and liposuction to the thighs, as well as the Emsella chair for pelvic floor strengthening. In 2020, Dr. Smith shepherded me through my first experience with plastic surgery when I received my tummy tuck and breast implants. He was unfailingly kind and patient, answering

Cannot Recommend Enough!
I had a tummy tuck and a breast lift & reduction with Dr Smith in Feb 2026 & I cannot recommend him highly enough. I am booked in for additional surgery on my face & neck later this year - I am that impressed by his results. The clinic is exceptionally clean & welcoming. The after support is very complete, Dr Smith even gave us his personal number in case we needed support at the weekend. All his staff are lovely. The results are amazing! I wish I’d had the procedure

Chin Implant Removal Correction / Chin Ptosis
I initially went for a chin lipo consultation and instead Dr. Smith tightened my mentalis muscle + did a fat graft to fix my ptosis and chin irregularity due to a previous chin implant removal. My chin irregularity was super specific/niche and Dr. Smith took the time to explain my options and preform a procedure that felt incredibly specialized for what I wanted. I felt heard and completely taken care of. I am 3 weeks post opp and am so happy with my results! The recovery was

Run, Don’t Walk!
A cursory TikTok search for breast reconstruction after significant weight loss brought me to Dr. Smith's page, where he discussed his experience with myriad procedures to help patients, many of them having lost significant weight like myself. I wanted a solution to my extreme sagging (which I know now was grade 4 ptosis) and loss of volume, and wanted a surgeon who was sensitive to my gym needs as a body builder. I didn't want to just go with the first person I found, so I spent

Supportive and Warm Experience with a Knowledgeable Doctor
Dr. Smith and his staff were very welcoming and supportive. Dr. Smith listened to my desires carefully and answered all my questions in a well-rounded and thoughtful way. He provided his professional opinion but did not push me towards agreement. The nurse practitioner and other medical staff were also very responsive, answering my emails within moments and giving me phone calls off-hours when necessary. I felt very comfortable throughout the entire experience.

Exceptional Experience
I spent a great deal of time researching before choosing Dr. Darren Smith for my Flankplasty and Mini Thigh Lift (groin crease incision) and I could not be happier with my decision. From the beginning, Dr. Smith made me feel completely comfortable and confident. He really listened to what I wanted, explained everything thoroughly, and was incredibly attentive throughout my surgery and recovery. He truly went above and beyond, and I always felt that he genuinely cared about both

Thank You Dr. Smith!
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Smith and his staff for my breast augmentation and chin liposuction surgeries. He was very attentive, listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. Going into surgery, I felt confident and reassured knowing that he and I were on the same page about my goals/vision. I recommend Dr. Smith to anyone looking into these procedures!!
