Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants. Ideal for women seeking volume restoration post-pregnancy or weight loss, this procedure addresses asymmetry and improves self-confidence. Dr. Smotrich customizes implant selection based on chest dimensions and tissue quality, ensuring natural results that complement individual proportions.
Facelift
Facelift surgery corrects sagging skin and wrinkles in the lower face and neck. Best for patients with moderate to advanced aging signs, this procedure tightens underlying tissues and removes excess skin. Dr. Smotrich employs techniques that avoid the 'pulled' look, achieving refreshed, natural facial contours that last 7-10 years.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Suitable for patients near ideal weight, this procedure sculpts the body by targeting stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Smotrich combines liposuction with skin-tightening techniques for optimal contouring results.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve proportion and breathing function. Addressing concerns like humps, wide bridges, or drooping tips, this procedure enhances facial harmony. Dr. Smotrich uses open or closed techniques to achieve balanced, natural-looking results that maintain individual character.
Facial Injectables
Facial injectables like BOTOX and Juvederm reduce wrinkles and restore volume. Ideal for early aging signs, these treatments smooth lines and plump lips with minimal downtime. Dr. Smotrich tailors injectable combinations to achieve subtle, youthful enhancements that maintain natural facial expressions.

Questions
What qualifications should I look for in a plastic surgeon?
Choose a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Smotrich, with specialized training and hospital privileges. Fellowship experience at institutions like the Kleinert Institute demonstrates advanced expertise.
How long do facelift results last?
Results typically last 7-10 years. Individual factors like skin quality and sun exposure affect longevity. Maintenance treatments can extend outcomes.
Are breast implants safe?
FDA-approved silicone and saline implants are safe when placed by qualified surgeons. Dr. Smotrich discusses risks and helps patients choose appropriate implant types and sizes.
What's the recovery time for liposuction?
Most patients return to work within 2-3 days. Full results appear after 2-3 months as swelling subsides. Compression garments aid recovery and optimize contouring.
Can rhinoplasty fix breathing problems?
Yes, functional rhinoplasty corrects structural issues affecting breathing while improving appearance. Dr. Smotrich addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns during consultation.
Do nonsurgical treatments replace facelifts?
Injectables address early aging signs but cannot replace surgery for significant skin laxity. Dr. Smotrich recommends appropriate options based on individual needs during consultations.
