Excess skin on the lids can make the eyes look heavy and aged. With an upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Smith restores a refreshed, natural look for our patient. Now the focus is on her beautiful eyes!

Starting the week with gratitude!

Dr. Smith snapped a quick selfie with a sweet thank-you card from a patient thrilled with their filler results! We love helping our patients feel confident in their skin and there’s no better Monday motivation than that. 💉💕

We’re honored to share that Dr. Ashley Smith has been named Best Cosmetic Surgeon by our Marin community! Thank you for your votes and support.

When she’s not overseeing clinical operations or mentoring our team, Dr. Smith is caring for her own patients — many who seek her for advanced cosmetic expertise, such as upper eyelid surgery. As a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon, she’s known for her artistry and commitment to results that look refreshed and natural.

We’re grateful to every patient who has placed their confidence in Dr. Smith and our team. Your trust means everything.

This patient came in for a routine skin check with Julia Parker, PA-C in mid-June and was promptly referred to Dr. Ashley Decker for Mohs surgery within the following month. Now, 4 weeks post-op, the result is already barely noticeable and will only continue to improve.⁣

This is the power of early detection and expert, coordinated care. Mohs is often the preferred approach for facial skin cancers because it removes the cancer while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible — especially important on delicate features like the nose.⁣

⚾️ Game day essential: sunscreen, always.

Dr. Smith never heads to the field without a SPF in hand. Whether you’re cheering from the stands or out for a weekend adventure, sun protection is non-negotiable for healthy, glowing skin.

✨ Pro tip: Physical (mineral) sunscreens like our Sheer Physical Sunscreen are gentle, effective, and perfect for sensitive or post-procedure skin.

When you hear “fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon,” it’s important to ask: Was their fellowship accredited by the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS)?

An ACMS-accredited fellowship is the most rigorous and trusted path for Mohs surgical expertise, requiring:
🔹 High surgical case volumes under expert supervision
🔹 Advanced reconstruction techniques
🔹 Collaborative oncology experience
🔹 Active contributions to clinical research

In this Q&A, Dr. Ashley Decker shares why ACMS accreditation is a key differentiator and how it reflects a deeper commitment to precision and patient care.

With age, volume loss and skin laxity can lead to flattening of the mid face and heaviness of the lower face.

By adding soft volume to the cheeks and contouring the chin and jawline with RHA® filler, Dr. Decker restored harmony and structure without overfilling. The result: gentle lift, subtle sculpting, and a refreshed silhouette that feels aligned with her natural features.

✨Bonus: Daxxify to refine the neckline and ease muscle pull under the chin (aka the Nefertiti Lift)
