0:00 Hi, my name is [name omitted]. I am a very happy patient of Dr. Darren Smith's. I came to Dr. Smith's office around 6 months ago at this point now looking for a small breast augmentation. Over the past couple of years have lost weight, I've gotten older, and my breasts were essentially non-existent. When I came in to see Dr. Smith, I wanted something that looked appropriate on my frame. I wanted small B cups,
0:27 something that would fill out bathing suits, body suits, um my workout tops. I wanted small chic boobs that looked like they could be my own. I didn't want it to look like I had my breasts done. So, the consultation process was honestly very fun. I said it was like Build-A-Bear for boobs because Dr. Smith took a picture of me and we were able to put it up on the screen and try on a bunch of different sizes for myself until we found that just right look. I think the recovery process was really
0:53 easy. I definitely noticed that my breasts started to settle each week. I put a band on. I was wearing a compression suit. I got lymphatic drainage massages. Dr. Smith is incredible. I cannot speak highly enough of his character. I felt like this really was a collaboration. He made me feel like I was part of the process. In no way was was he ever selling me on a bigger size. He was always very
1:18 respectful of what I wanted. I also felt like we just built this rapport, um and that we I I felt like I was really meeting with a friend every single time I saw him. I trust him with anything for anyone that I love with their surgery goals, and I can't speak highly enough about him. He is just really a gem. I adore him.
