If excessive or loose skin on your arms is causing you discomfort and low self-esteem, an upper arm lift may help reclaim your confidence. An upper arm lift or brachioplasty is a common procedure that removes the loose tissue that causes the skin of your upper arm to sag. With an arm lift, achieving sleeker, more toned arms is within your reach.
The one thing you don't expect when you're working hard to lose weight is an entirely new problem: excess skin. A body lift is a surgical procedure designed to combat this type of sagging skin and fat. If you've done the physical work to change your life, don't let excess skin and fatty tissue hold you back from achieving your desired look.
Most women have some degree of breast asymmetry (different sized breasts), but some cases are more pronounced than others. If having asymmetric breasts makes you self conscious, there is an excellent solution. Breast asymmetry surgery has helped thousands of women regain the balanced and natural looking breasts that they desire.

Dr Smith is a joke. This guy was rude and disrespectful to me for asking questions about my neices head injury. After that I asked him to talk in the hallway to ask if I said something wrong before. He said your not her parent and shut the door in my face. I'm her caregiver so when her mom can't go I'm her guardian. Doctors shouldn't act like that he's not a professional but a cowerd. You sir are a joke. I hope he can learn how to be more successful in communicating with a concerned guardian. I'm not gonna start with he's ego.. staff was great tho.

I had another physician ask me, “why would you go to a plastic surgeon for cancer, why wouldn’t you go to an oncologist or dermatologist?” I said “easy, it’s my face”. The spots he had removed, you can’t even see where they were removed from. Everyone there is very professional. Dr Rick is so caring, he’s a wonderful person. He also cares for my Mother, they jab at one another as if they’re related. LOL. But she loves him too. He’s just a great guy.

First time having surgery & I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The staff is absolutely amazing. They always answer questions no matter how silly they might be. Dr. Smith is a very good Dr. He is very thoughtful & knows how to do his job tremendously well. He really cares about what you’re wanting & he listens to concerns. I would recommend him and his facility to anyone.

Acquired breathing issues as a direct result of rhinoplasty surgery performed by Dr. Rick J. Smith. Also had fat transfer injections into upper and lower lips. Visible lumps remain above and below lips causing an uneven smile.
