J. Smythe Rich, MD

My experience with Dr Rich and his entire staff was over the top. I felt very comfortable in his office from the beginning, explaining everything that we would be doing for my procedure and then all the way through the end of my surgery when it was complete. I debated doing the surgery for many years, but after doing much research, I decided to go with the Dr Rich having heard of his work from several of my friends and seeing the amazing results I highly recommend him and his

Before meeting Dr. Rich, I had previous reconstructive surgery on my jaw (with a genioplasty) which resulted in nerve damage and my chin being recessed and disproportional to the rest of my face. After nearly a decade of dealing with my chin being disproportional, I decided I wanted to get surgery. I met with several other plastic and orthognathic surgeons in Columbia--all of whom had a strong push for surgery but failed to thoroughly care and discuss my medical history and questions.

(But please don't think it takes 6 months to heal - I was out in public in just over 2 weeks). I'm thrilled with the outcome of my procedures and impressed with Dr Rich and his staff. Prior to my surgery, I found myself dimming mirror lights so that I did not notice the signs of aging. Yet, I still hesitated

When I was 14yrs old my nose was broken in an accident. I never went to get it fixed because it was not always super noticeable. The older I got the more aware I became of it and wanted to get it fixed. My consultation with Dr. Rich was exactly what I needed to feel more confident about going through with the procedure. He explained everything very clearly and made sure I was knowledgeable about the procedure and pricing of everything. My recovery went smoothly and Dr. Rich was

i’ve always felt my nose was lacking a proper bridge. glasses often slid down my face and in profile my face looked flattened. so i booked a consultation with dr. Rich. He surprised me with his knowledge of Asian ethnic nasal surgical procedures. The dr. patiently answered my questions, allaying my fears he would misunderstand my goals. On his computer he drew over a photo of my face showing me how the new bridge would look like. i left feeling he had understood me. i arranged
