Sean C. Smith, MD, FRCSC

Had a great experience with Dr. Smith - He pays super close attention to detail & it was obvious how much he cared about the perfect end result. I did Juverderm fill & had a great end result. Will be back!!

Dr Smith is such a professional and makes his patients feel comfortable and at ease. Ive been seeing Dr Smith for two years for botox and fillers and am always so impressed by how meticulous and precise he is. I get the results I want, every time. Would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for one of the best doctors in Ottawa.

I recently saw Dr. Smith to discuss my options in helping to improve the appearance of my tired/sunken under eyes. He took his time and thoroughly explained all of my treatment options in great detail. After our discussion we proceeded with Juvederm. I couldn’t be happier with my results. Since having the treatment, I have received many compliments from friends & coworkers telling me how rested I looked. There was no bruising and very little to no swelling. I would highly recommend him.

I recently went to see a plastic surgeon about obtaining a more youthful look. Dr. Smith injected Botox in my forehead and outer eye which gave me a smooth yet natural appearance.

Additionally, Dr. Smith administered Volbella to the tear trough area and along my upper cheekbones as well. The result is that I no longer have deep indentations in my under eye area. As well the extra volume in my cheeks has provided a more youthful appearance.

As a next step, Dr. Smith has recommended IPL photofacial sessions and perhaps a small amount of Volbella in my lips.

I went to Dr Smith January 2024 for a breast implant which developed capsular contracture. He performed a capsulectomy with implant replacement through the mentor warranty program and had the actual surgery covered by OHIP. Since the surgery, my breast pocket seemed like the skin was a lot thinner and the implant seemed to have bottomed out. I’m not sure if it was bottomed out but it was significantly lower than the other breast. Dr Smith was condescending about the situation citing “I did a free surgery on you”. And he also said “I thought you were just a stay at home mom so your boobs doesn’t matter how they look, only the pain was priority”. I found this unprofessional in his bedside manner and I told him how u professional his response was. He eventually agreed that he should perform a revision to the pocket called a “capsulorrhaphy” in July 2024.This made the situation better for about 2 months but once again, it fell back down looking “bottomed out”. It also has pain along with the bottomed out look. When I went to a post op appointment to discuss my concerns, Dr. Smith was once again dismissive and kept trying to convince me that they were much better than before (they’re not). They are just as bad as before my first surgery with him, just in a different way. I don’t recommend him because of my results and his behaviour when things didn’t go good. I was offered to return and discuss all my concerns with him again- but I don’t feel safe with him emotionally or that he can achieve a nice result. I really would steer clear of this doctor because of my experience.



Updated on 10 Jan 2025:
I got a capsulorrhaphy after the capsulectomy left me with extreme asymmetry (didn’t have it as bad before, it was mild) and it got only 5-10% better, still need another surgery (more time off work, more recovery, more childcare, more pet care) and dr smith is happy with his work…. Lol

I have been working on getting this procedure done for 3 years now. I want to do this review to hopefully help others going through this and to answer any questions people may have. Also to get my questions answered and hear other people's experiences. Dr Smith is my 4th surgeon I've seen and I am paid and everything is in line to get the surgery. I am terrified, but Sarah and dr Smith has answered every question I have asked with outstanding description and understanding. I will post updates as it goes along, currently waiting on my pre op phone call.
