I was so scared to have a surgery I’ve needed for yrs but I’m glad I found Dr. Smiley and chose him after plenty of research. He has a laid back approach but is very accommodating & passionate about achieving the best results possible. My recovery was very miserable to be honest, but I’m quite happy with the outcome and it will continue to even get better with time also. I did not get to know his nurses very well but I can not compliment his tech Andrea enough. She was there for me always from the moment I walked into the office until now, I can’t imagine what I would have done without her. It’s 7:30pm now and they are still there working hard and in surgery. I hope not to need another operation in the future but I would definitely trust him again, I know that:)
I had great experience with the surgery center especially Dr David Sahel who was my surgeon. Dr. Sahel Was very professional, very kind and attentive, he answered all my questions pre and post surgery. When I woke up from anesthesia he was right there next to me. He ensured that I was not in pain. This made me feel and know that I was in safe hands. He called me at home to check on my progress and when I returned for my follow up visit, again he was there waiting to assess my vitals and look at the wound which was healing perfectly. I had breast reduction r/t back pain. Now I have not felt that pain. The other team members that were exceptional were Edith Calix, who was on top of it and encouraged me throughout this journey, she was patient with me and ensured I got great care, She is kind and nice. Makes you feel valued. Ida the nurse was very attentive and knowledgeable, she called me and stayed in touch with me post surgery. She answered my question and listened to my concerns and responded accordingly.Dennis was the other nurse that had a great sense of humor and was very professional as well. He did a wonderful job with IV and the next was history.The anesthesiologist Dr Young made sure to check my medical history and ensured that I did not have any allergies that could affect my surgery. He was very professional.As a nurse myself, I strongly recommend this surgery center. I will come again.
I am very happy I chose dr. Smiley for my breast augmentation. I am in love with my results. I got exactly what I asked for. All of the staff were very helpful and informative. Edith is amazing, she helped me through every step of the way.
I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Smiley for making my lifelong dream a reality. Becoming a mom at a very young age, I had always wanted to undergo a tummy tuck, but it always seemed like an impossible dream. That was until I met Dr. Smiley. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in the right hands. Dr. Smiley , Andrea and his team not only provided exceptional medical care but also understood the emotional journey I had been on. They listened to my desires, questions and concerns. The tummy tuck procedure itself was a life-changing experience for me. Dr. Smiley worked his magic, and the results are amazing. For the first time in a long time, I feel like myself again. My confidence has been restored, and I am genuinely happier!!!!! :) Thank you, Dr. Smiley , for helping me feel like myself again.!!!!! Thank you Andrea , you are an angel!!!

Dr. Smiley and his team took great care of me during my surgery. I was nervous at first, but the surgery went great and did not take longer than expected. He made sure to explain everything well to me. I’m happy with the results so far
Hello, there a 2 options I think would work for you. A brow lift would give you that pulled back lifted look and it would last longer than the trendy ponytail lift that a lot of doctors are doing. They use pdo threads to create that non surgical temporary lift. I’d recommend maybe doing the temporary ponytail lift first to make sure you love the look before doing actual surgery and getting the brow lift. We offer free consultations in our office and we are local in Beverly Hills. We can go over your options with you :)
Hello! Maybe she meant 4.5 hours long for the entire surgery time from start to finish. The actual procedure shouldn’t take any more than 1.5 hours.
Hello! A tummy tuck would be the best option for you. You would get the result you want. Liposuction will give you more saggy or droopy skin. With a tummy tuck we remove the excess skin so you’ll be left with a flat stomach. Liposuction can be added to the procedure with the tummy tuck which will give you more definition and a curved waist.
Hello, I would say a rhinoplasty with possibly chin implant or just chin filler would help. Most people are using filler in their jawline to give them a defined jaw and or pdo threads. Filler isn’t a permanent fix but it’ll give you the look your trying to achieve without any downtime. A rhinoplasty requires surgery under general anesthesia and you’ll need up to 2 weeks of recovery and a year to be completely healed from it. You’ll be able to go back to your normal life after 2 weeks. Swelling will subside completely at around 3-4 months.
Hello! There are a few options you can do for your chin: 1.) A lower facelift will give you a tighter more defined jawline/neck with some fillers along your jawline to give you a very defined strong look. Some surgeons offer this procedure without having to put you under general anesthesia. You can even out your chin and lips with filler as well. Filler is a great option because there is no downtime, and it’s very easily done. Although it’s not a permanent fix, it does help with balancing out the face.
