The decision to have cosmetic surgery is and should be a big decision. For Temple resident Wanda Smetana, it wasn't a decision she took lightly. Knowing she had expertise close to home at Scott & White to help walk her through the process made the decision easier. And she's thrilled with the results and has some advice of her own to those considering any cosmetic procedure.
