My worst nightmare was doing surgery with Dr....
My worst nightmare was doing surgery with Dr. Joseph Capella. I know there are many good reviews of Capella but do not know whether they are paid or are really his patients but I do not recommend it as a plastic surgeon. First consultation showed me the before and after pictures of surgeries made by him. I decided that day I would do my surgery with him; I was so excited to see me after surgery but was a big disappointment after the procedure. I paid so much money ($ 15,300.00) for work not done; the contract was a body lift, liposuction of back, flankplasty, and arm lift. After surgery I noticed that he had not done anything on my back, my stomach was not flat, and left my arms with a black spot that looks like a burn. When I told all my worries just told me I still swollen I had to give my body time to recover after surgery. He said he did as much as he could to get a flat stomach but sometimes does not work. He suggested aggressive stomach liposuction and in order to take the fat on my back he would have to cut my back, he never told me that when I first saw him, he would do it for free but had to pay for room and hours of anesthesia. I told him I had already paid and had no more money. After what happened I find pictures on the website I saw the bodies after surgery was obvious he did not perform liposuction in my back and tummy tuck was not done properly because I still had fat on my stomach. Now Iâ??m not happy with Capella surgery and have no money to correct his mistakes. This is a real story that happened to me. I suggest think long before doing any procedure with him.
Provider Review
In the beginning he explained the procedure and show before and after pictures very well on his computer. He talked like he knew his stuff with just one surgery I was going to get the results I wanted. After going back to give him the feed backs on some concerns I had he said he try to do his best but the problem was me. He said I have more fat then expected. He seemed very rude after I explained I wasn't satisfied with his work. He also seem careless and doesn't take responsibility and blamed me that I didn't continue exercising and dieting.
