Dr. Oakley Smith

Dr. Oakley Smith is an Artist and a Perfectionist - two things you want when choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon. His skill level and attention to detail are unparalleled. These attributes when combined with his warm and caring personality make him a top professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best surgeon for their nasal surgery.

I just had my 3 month check up with Dr. Oakley Smith after a long and challenging surgery. About 30 years ago I had surgery on my nose to remove a bump and about 10 years later I started having problems breathing. I just thought it was normal until it became so bad that I had to breath through my mouth when I slept. Eventually, I decided to seek the help of a specialist in this area but thought that the problem was related to a structural sinus problem. I researched 3 very good doctors in the Toronto area and met with all 3. It was during these visits that I found out that I had lateral wall collapse of my nose on both sides and that it likely was caused by the first surgery. The first doctor didn't think he could do anything to help me. The second said it would be a long complicated surgery but would probably help, but he said I didn't have enough of my own cartilage in the nose. That would mean he would have to take cartilage from behind my ear and possibly my rib. A last resort would be donor cartilage. The would make the surgery more complicated and prone to post-surgical problems. Dr. Oakley Smith was my last surgeon, and he quickly told me that he thought I had enough cartilage and wouldn't need donor etc. He was interested, frank when discussed the rate of success for this surgery, and kind. I wasn't sure if he just didn't notice the last of cartilage that the second surgeon had mentioned, but decided to go with him anyway based on his reviews. I am soooooooo glad! The surgery went fine. I had very little discomfort afterwards, and saw him at day 6 when he removed the cast etc. Not only did he repair the structural damage, but he reduced the projection of my nose by 6 mm, which is a lot! The length of my nose always bothered me so I was thrilled with that. Today he confirmed that it was looking great inside. I can breath like a normal person and I love the look of my nose also. Your nose is something that is hard to hide and it deserves someone who does nothing but rhinoplasty day after day. Thank you Dr. Oakley Smith! See you in 9 months!

The best rhinoplasty surgeon there is. If you're thinking about it, go with Dr. Smith and you'll be in good hands. Worth every penny. The surgery went so well that I almost thought the good lord himself performed it. Oh and he's a pretty cool guy too.

In March 2016, I had my third and final surgery from Dr Smith. I reluctantly traveled from Edmonton, and honestly, I was initially going to go the US to search for a Dr that could fix my botched nose until a friend of mine referred me to what he said was the ‘best surgeon’. In my opinion (and I’m sure his), my nose was a mess. My husband and I met with him in his very welcoming office and he answered all my questions in a very realistic manner. He never once promised that I would have a ‘perfect nose’, but that he could most definitely improve it. Today, I can honestly tell you I am blown away with the results. In my opinion, my nose IS perfect. Before the surgery I was always self-conscious of my profile because it didn’t suit my small face. He was able to somehow make it smaller and not so prominent (which the previous Dr never did). This wasn’t even my main concern coming in to see him. My nose had shifted making it crooked and hard to breathe. He fixed it and I absolutely LOVE it. Silly to say, but I compare my nose to everyone and I tell my husband it’s a Kim Kardashian nose now!

If there is anything negative I can say about my experience, it would be that the swelling took a couple years to completely come down (which only I could notice), but Dr Smith told me that was because of how extensive the surgery was. Still, because I was scared and had two prior surgeries, I panicked a bit and would call the office frequently and he would personally assure me it would come down in time (in his gentle voice). Now looking back, I feel that he was very humble in the way he told me he could indeed get ‘better results’. I never would have expected this much better!!!

I am so happy; I would like to assure anyone who is scared, like I was, to put all of your trust in him. He is an incredible Doctor and extremely talented. I would recommend him to anyone and say ...look no further....
