His ‘snaps’ have become very popular amongst the plastic surgery community. He has been gaining a large following through this medium.

Dr. Smiley takes educating and informing people or patients about the treatment as his responsibility. The decision to undergo plastic surgery is life-changing. Therefore, he wants to make sure that all the people have the necessary information and tools to make an informed decision about the type of procedure they wish to undergo and the timeline involved. Thus he uses social media as a means to provide valuable knowledge about surgeries to prospective patients.
