Breast augmentation is a growing procedure. Beyond the pun, it continues to the most popular cosmetic surgery in the U.S. When so many women are opting to augment their breasts, it could seem counterintuitive for someone to want to downsize her breasts. But for some women their breasts become a literal burden. They cause back […]
We have more and more patients at our Okatie practice who want to want a curvier figure through breast augmentation, but the idea of putting silicone gel in their breasts makes them uneasy. They’ve heard that silicone implants provide a more natural feel and that they have far fewer problems with rippling. But they’re concerned […]
Why is the skin on our bodies that is the most exposed to the elements day in and day out among the thinnest on the entire body? Such is the case with much of the skin on our faces. We beat it up with sun and environmental damage. It loses more and more collagen, the […]
That headline seems odd. How can our eyes be any older than anything else on our face or body? Well, let’s just say they may be the same age, but they may be showing their age more than anything else. And that’s not a good thing. The skin of our eyelids and the surrounding areas […]
No one beats the march of time. Not Ponce de Leon. Not that Nazi sympathizer guy in Indiana Jones. Well, maybe the Doc in Back to the Future, but he cheated with a time machine. While unstoppable, the signs on your face that come with aging can be reversed or at least slowed with various […]
Last month, we told you about Dr. Smith’s new treatments from Inmode that use radiofrequency energy for body contouring and skin tightening.

And we discussed […]
Many of Dr. Smith’s patients considering having breast augmentation assume implants are typically placed through an incision made around the areola or along the breast crease on the underside of the breast. Both of these incision locations leave some degree of scarring on the breast, particularly the inframammary incision on the breast bottom. Many plastic […]
One of the truly annoying things about aging is the sagging and slackening of our tissues that happens across our entire body. The skin may indeed be our largest organ, but its aging characteristics leave something to be desired. But Dr. Smith has added a brand-new way to firm up that sagging skin without a […]
Rhinoplasty is a complicated, delicate surgical procedure. That may explain why many patients come see Dr. Smith seeking to fix/address the nose surgery they have had done elsewhere. Revision rhinoplasty. Revision rhinoplasty can be even more involved than the original nose surgery. That’s why it is so important to do your research and trust the […]
Shape is in these days. The age of the emaciated supermodel is, thankfully, over, complete with its unhealthy demonizing of food for many women. Now, we all celebrate the natural curves that make women, well, awesome. The trend hasn’t missed the lips, either. Plumper, shapelier lips are all the rage as well. And why not? […]
