Dr. Roger Smith is fantastic! I had my gallbladder removed a few weeks ago with him and he made it as simple as possible! Very kind and informative with the best bed side manner!! I felt like he truly cared about me. Had a great exywith him and his staff and everyone in the surgery center down stairs!! We need more Drs like him 🙏 More
Dr. Roger Smith did an amazing job with my hernia repair. I've had other surgeries done and would always feel anxious and nervous prior to them, but with him, everything went so smooth. He was very informative and very professional with my procedure. I highly recommend him if you need this type of surgery. Thank you Dr. Smith for everything:) More
At the moment I was introduced to Dr Smith I was at ease…his explanation of my procedure was very informative and left me without any question that he was the one to take care of my cancer…His dedication to his patients is amazing…his office took care of all my scheduling…and there was very little I had to do…my closures is done beautifully…Thank You Dr Smith and your office❣️ More
Absolutely Exceeded What I Thought Was Even Possible, So So Grateful - I do plan on posting photos [with my tattoos blurred out] once I've healed a little bit more, but for now I just wanted to absolutely rave about my experience with Dr Hix-Hernandez and her team.The tldr: Make the appointment. Go talk to her and her fantastic team. Get an actually reasonable quote for the procedure you're interested in (by no means the "cheapest" but actually reasonable and they take Care Credit!) Get no-nonsense answers to your questions and a realistic understanding of ALL of your options. You will not feel like you're talking to a car salesman; she will not recommend things that she doesn't think you need, she will not try to trick you into thinking you should pay more for something that may not fit your specific desired outcome. She will not question why you want what you want or make you feel like you might regret it. She will not price gouge you. And most importantly, she will do a damned good job.I'll go into more detail about my specific experience if you are either considering explant or specifically considering Dr. Hix-Hernandez in a follow up post, but for those just looking for an initial recommendation I hope my 5 stars speak to that.

This is my go to place for Lip Fillers. Ashley is amazing! I love the is place so much, I decided to have Lipo 360/BBL with Dr Smith. Surgery was last week and I’m loving my results so far! Scheduling a consult was super easy, Dusky the surgical coordinator is amazing. She explained everything to me at my consult and after a few days of thinking it over, I went ahead and booked. Sofia was my treatment coordinator, she was great! She answered all my questions and always responded to my calls. The pre-op appt. with Dr. Smith was great. Dr. Smith explained everything from top to bottom in details leaving myself and my husband with few questions. The day of surgery was a breeze. I didn’t catch the names of the Surgical nurse or PA, but they did everything to make sure I was comfortable my entire surgery. Dr Smith is an amazing provider. He did wonders and I’m so pleased and impressed with what I’m seeing so far. Dusky called me the day after surgery and explained everything post operatively in detail what do to from this point forward before my 2 week appt. I will most definitely be scheduling my next surgery at Beleza Medical spa. The communication with this place is spot on, leaving me with no negative remarks. Next year is tummy tuck time! I’m excited to see what Dr. Hix can do. Thank you Dr. Smith and team! Y’all are amazing! More
Panniculectomy and Breast Reduction/lift - Hix-Hernandez changed my life for the better forever! June of 2021 she performed a breast reduction lift. Removing 5pds of breast tissue. I then proceeded to lose 75 pds over the next year. And in July 2023 she performed my panniculectomy. Dr Hix responds. In the days after surgery I texted her early one morning.. and she wrote back within 15 minutes. And She's not afraid of the harder cases.. of which I was one.. my weight was not in check when we did the breast procedure. But she knew it would be life changing for me and said Yes. My healing was flawless. My scaring is minimal. I feel better than I can ever remember. I turned 60 this year! And can never recommend Dr Hix and her team enough. More

Mommy makeover to treat sagging breasts and abdomen pouch - After two pregnancies, breastfeeding my children, & many years of not taking care of myself I knew I had to change my lifestyle for better health.

Miracle maker - wanted a breast reduction since I was a teenager - I had wanted a breast reduction since I was a teenager. I’m now 60. I lived with pain, discomfort, rashes, wrong fitting clothes, low self esteem, hurting ever day, etc. I decided it was time for me. I had seen Dr. Hix results in other patients and how caring she was. She talks to you understands what YOU want. Her staff is amazing I had my breast reduction done. Was beyond pleased, so glad I picked Dr. Hix and highly recommend her and her team. I will use her again. I absolutely adore her. More
Above and beyond in caring for me before and after surgery - She is amazing! The most honest and helpful physician I have ever seen. She went above and beyond in caring for me before and after surgery. Worth way more than 5 stars. All the nurses and assistants in the Cedar Park office go above and beyond. More
Bye bye floppy earlobes. - Why didn't I just do it 10 years ago? It was nbd at all. Minimally painful under local and very affordable for the level of care I got.Dr. Hix didn't mark me up, but we discussed my expectations right before the procedure and it went fine.She was assisted by Dr. Smith who later removed the sutures. They look great and will only get nicer and smoother as they heal. More
For 10 years, I’ve had lower back pain despite being fit, receiving chiropractic care, and clinical massages. Dr. Hix performed a plication to correct Diastasis recti (a huge, vertical gap in my abs) and removed the 3 c-section scars that left a shelf below my navel from it being sewn close to the muscle. I went home and realized that I didn’t have any back pain anymore and have had no issues since surgery! After 4 weeks post-op, I already see my abs coming through and my stomach is back to being flat even with the swelling from recovery.Best surgeon. Ever. More

Dr Hix-Hernandez is wonderful. My only regret is not going with her in the first place. I went to her for a second opinion after developing a large psuedobursa on my entire abdomen from a tummy tuck by another local plastic surgeon last May. It left me in pain for almost a year along with stinky fluid that would come out of my belly button. I spent so much wasted time and money going back to the other plastic surgeon trying to get my problem fixed. Dr. Hix-Hernandez did a revision and removed the psuedobursa. I was immediately out of pain. My stomach is actually flat and no longer disfigured. My incision 8 days post op already looks way better than my scar that had a year to heal from the previous plastic surgeon. She gives her patients her personal number to call if there are problems. The other place I could only reach my surgeon through his wife/office manager resulting in the mismanagement that put me through a year of hell. Had I gone to Beleza and Dr. Hix-Hernandez in the first place it would have saved me so much money, time away from work, and pain. She is a very skilled surgeon. She cares about her patients. If you are in the Austin area, her long wait list is worth it. My experience with this surgery was so much better compared to the other plastic surgeon. As a nurse, I was extremely impressed with the pre-op and post-op education and follow up at Beleza. Now that I have experienced the professionalism of Dr. Hix-Hernandez’s office it makes me feel like I got my first surgery from a used car salesman. More
I am 4 weeks post-op mommy makeover (breast lift & tummy tuck). I feel GREAT and am loving what I see in the mirror so far. I'm still swelling a little but that is to be expected at this point. My incisions are all healing nicely and are very thin lines. Dr. Hix-Hernandez has been wonderful from the beginning. She gave her personal phone number to call if any problems or concerns came up after surgery. I didn't want to bother her but did have a concern when one breast started bleeding at 2.5 weeks. I called and she answered while shopping in Home Depot. God Bless her!!! She made me feel so much better! I had a hematoma that had broke loose and exited thru the incision below that breast. Two days later at 10:30 at night, not wanting to bother her again by calling, I texted her pictures after I noticed the steristrip had come off the breast that was bleeding and there was a small separation. She immediately text me back! She calmed my nerves so much just by being available when I needed her. She truly cares about her patients and I'm glad I chose her as my doctor. Everything appears to be healing nicely now. More

Tummy Tuck w/ MR - I’m on day 2po and I’m shocked at how minimal the pain is. I’m staying on top of my meds. I was able to get myself to the bathroom by the end of surgery day. I’ll post my befores but I can’t take my binder off for another 2 days. I’ll post those once that happens!Updated on 25 Apr 2019:I slept through my alarm for my pain pill! Woke up feeling ok, I can feel more around my belly but it’s still not painful, just slightly uncomfortable. I’m sleeping in a recliner! My back hurts more than anything. I’m standing mote upright which helps my back! I get to take my binder off either tomorrow or Saturday to check out my new belly!! Updated on 27 Apr 2019:I was so nervous to look at my belly after spending days looking at others that didn’t look so good. The internet is a crazy place ????. I took off my binder and my mom says “you’re so skinny!” I could feel the swelling but I could also tell I’m going to have curves ???? My pain stays around 1-2 out of 10. Even when I skip my pain meds. And by pain, it’s more just tightness. I’m grateful for a wonderful doctor. Her work is beautiful and she knows what she’s doing. I did have one pain of a 10-I got a tickle in my throat in the shower and it made me cough and I thought my belly was on fire ????. It quickly went away and I hope to never cough for 6 more weeks. Besides that one splat-I’d do this over again in a heart beat. Updated on 3 May 2019:All is still going well! I’m feeling a lot more in my skin-I think some of the nerves are starting to wake up/reconnect or whatever they do! Dr. Said I’m still super swollen! I’m not complaining! Flatter than I’ve been in 10 years :) More

It was an easier recovery but I still needed help after with kids and around the house but definitely not nearly as long as I did with the main procedure. This procedure is what made me love that I did the major surgery! More
Amazing Dr!! She Will Not Disappoint!! - Dr Hix-Hernandez is phenomenal. I had implant removal and a breast lift done by her and since day 1 I knew she was the right pick for me. I had done 3 consultations with other plastic surgeons and Dr Hix was the only one who made me feel comfortable and also came up with an alternative option to fix my very large saggy breasts. She’s very intelligent and actually listens when you speak. I felt like she cared about what I was wanting and genuinely was happy to help fix my breast issue. She’s also extremely personable and has a way about her that puts you at ease knowing you’re in good hands. The nursing staff at Beleza were also amazing and friendly. Overall it was an ideal surgical experience. More
Dr. Smith recently saved my life, when my appendix ruptured and sceptis was spreading throughout my body. On an emergency basis, God placed me in the hands of an extremely capable surgeon. Post-op care was excellent—he really cares and listens to you. He’s simply the best! More
Great tummy tuck - Dr. Hix-Hernandez did a great job on my tummy tuck in December 2012. Immediately felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her and she took her time answering all the questions I had. She is professional and takes pride in her work. I had the kangaroo pooch and over four inches of separation on my abdominal muscles from a 70 lb weight gain during pregnancy and she got those really TIGHT. ... More
Weight Loss Caused 40yo to Need a Little 'Pick Me Up' - I was just not happy with how I was looking in the mirror after working so hard to lose weight over a solid 18 months. Decided to give myself a nice 40th birthday gift and did a lift/augmentation in 2011. I also decided in 2016 that I'd do a tummy tuck after my hysterectomy. SO WORTH IT. I feel like a brand new person. So much so, I even went back to modeling. More
Dr. Smith was so caring and considerate of my mother's unique situation. He was very patient and thorough in his explication of the procedures she needed. He was a calming force to my family and not just professional but personable and kind. More
