I’m board-certified New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Darren Smith, and this is Plastic Surgery: Before and After, your source for the real deal about plastic surgery procedures, news about trends in aesthetic medicine, and candid sessions with industry insiders. We hope you enjoy today’s episode.
I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Darren Smith, and I’m a board-certified plastic surgeon. In addition to completing seven years of training in all aspects of plastic surgery, I then went on to complete super subspecialized training with fellowships in aesthetic surgery, as well as in craniofacial surgery.
Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to publish hundreds of scientific papers, presentations and book chapters, and some of this work has resulted in the issuance of a U.S. patent. I have been extremely fortunate and had the opportunity to see and treat thousands of patients, and my goal here is to share some of this experience with you.
