A Talented Surgeon of Great Integrity.

I'm so happy to share my experience returning my thighs back to their normal contour and shape because of the skill, experience, and amazing care team of Dr Darren Smith and his staff, from the front office (Fotini and Rachel), to Dr Smith and nurse Katie and his expert staff.

Before I found Dr Smith, I had undergone a fat transfer procedure with another board certified plastic surgeon who specialized in breast reconstruction, and it involved liposuction from areas of my body where enough fat could be removed to reconstruct my breasts.

While the surgeon did a good job on my breasts, she had taken fat from my right butt cheek in error, leaving a very noticeable dent. She also had left significant track marks down my left thigh and an uneven contour was apparent.

The right butt check dent was most significant needing repair, and while I waited months for my body to settle and dissolve scar tissue, I scoured the internet searching for someone who could understand my situation because seeing what had happened to me in the mirror on a daily basis was traumatizing.

I spoke to doctors in NY and LA, and none of them demonstrated the kind of presence and empathy while listening, that Dr Smith demonstrated. I knew immediately he could help me repair, he was honest and realistic with what we'd need to do, and the timeline to do it. He said to me "if you are willing to partner on this journey, we will do this together." I felt seen and heard, and I cried.

After the consult, I waited for his staff to prepare the fees and I'll admit, I was terrified of seeing it because of the prior consults I'd been through were close to a down payment on a new home, but when they presented the treatment and fees I cried again because they were so reasonable and affordable. I knew I was going to be okay.

Now, a year later, I'm back to normal and the experience was seamless, I healed so well, and as discussed with Dr Smith, my body is resettling itself into normal shape, and he continues to watch to ensure we are on track, which we are.

I recommend Dr Darren Smith to anyone needing plastic surgery, whether it be first time but definitely to repair damage caused by other surgeons who are careless with preparing themselves and their staff for surgery. You will never regret any discussion with him and his staff, and they are available to discuss and not pushy at all. There are many surgeons out there who are either careless, aggressive and charge reasonable fees, or who create a mirage and image to justify astronomical fees and orchestrate their consults like closing a deal. Dr Smith is the complete opposite and highly talented.

My relationship with Dr Smith and his staff is a forever relationship because we've been through this together, and I'm so happy at the other side of the journey because of them.
