Reviews

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share my wonderful experience with Smart, as I’ve just completed my second surgery with them! My first procedure was with the fantastic Dr. Jeff, and this time, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Vagley. He skillfully performed my facelift, neck lift, and upper and lower blepharoplasty, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! Dr. Vagley made the entire journey so smooth and reassuring. He guided me through every step of the surgery and recovery process. I truly appreciated his openness; he provided his email for any questions, and he was incredibly prompt and helpful with my inquiries.

As a husband, I can honestly say our experience at Smart Plastic Surgery was amazing. From the very first consultation, the staff made us feel comfortable, informed, and truly cared for. They took the time to explain everything clearly and never made us feel pressured. On surgery day, everything was well organized and professional. The clinic was clean, the team was kind, and the follow-up care was outstanding. They were always available to answer questions and made sure my wife’s recovery went smoothly.

I had a BBL and fat transfer at Smart Plastic Surgery, and I’m absolutely thrilled with my results! The team was professional, caring, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The procedure went smoothly, and recovery was much easier than I expected. My results are natural, beautifully contoured, and exactly what I wanted. The staff took the time to explain everything and check in on me, making the whole experience feel personalized and safe.

Smart has an amazing group of people That care about the best potential results. They have operated my girlfriend and other close friends with amazing results. These types of surgery are only best with a combination of other factors like self care and potentially other surgeries. I am very happy with the result of my girlfriend and the physical and mental changes she has after the surgery.

My best friend had her surgery at Smart Plastic Surgery and she’s absolutely in love with her results! The clinic is super clean, everything feels organized and professional, and the staff is honestly amazing—very kind and always willing to help. I truly recommend this place 100%!
