After taking time to "cool off" from the situation I experienced with Dr. Frank Campanile and his staff I'm ready to write my toned down review. In NO way whatsoever would I personally recommend this surgeon. I wish I wouldn't have been so oblivious to what was going on and wish I would have had the courage to stand up for myself. I think it's valuable to understand what type of situation you're working with. Understand why a surgeon may only post side view of before and afters rather than straight on shots. Understand who's working the office, and realize if they're tryin to pull one on ya.. It seems unfair to have a wife as the office manager, not disclose this, and expect the patients to express their thoughts and feelings to her NOT knowing who she really is and how closely related she is to him. What a GREAT business tactic on their part! If it were my husband, and I were the office manager, I would convince the patients in any way I could do move forward with elective procedures.. ha. I find it amazing how many great reviews they've built up in the past year with little to no detail on the procedure. Ladies make sure there is validity behind reviews before settling on a surgeon!

Still having more trouble than every with my breast augmentation results performed by Colorado plastic surgeon Frank Campanile. Looking into a revision, and some quotes I've received run around 8000. If I chose to go out of town of course I'd have to add in the price of flights, hotel stay, and time off my feet..what a convenience. worst decision of my life.

Trying to work through life with the small amount of self esteem ive been left with. Last yr went to a party in vegas and wore fun tops-boobs were high and swollen still. This yr we are going again and I am rumaging for summer turtle necks..to say the very least. I am making a family photo album from a vacation we took in jan and am so disgusted looking at the photos. My [RS bleep] are HUGE and look SO fake and uneven w a ridge on the right side. Kaiser takes them out but the surgeon I consulted w was so insincere. Ill have to consult w another doc to see if its any different. Hopefully, then I can get them out late July

Wow! I am so sorry!!! Geesh, I am also in Denver and have begun researching doctors to eventually perform a breast reconstruction/lift/possibly implant(s) (I never developed a left breast past an A cup, yet I have a natural DDD on my right side, so in 1998 my parents insurance paid 95% for a breast augmentation of my left breast only to match at least the size of my super large right breast). I was very interested in having a TT performed by Dr. C because of his special drainless version, however, I am going to do more research as your story (which I believe is true) is downright humiliating! I cannot imagine spending nearly 10K to be treated like an animal like you were! NO WAY! Thanks for your posts and I hope things get better. Have you considered going to Anshutz Medical University in Denver? I just spoke with the coordinator there and she explained they are going to begin to offer low cost plastic surgery like Mt. Sinai in NY does. It's performed by the University doctors, fellows and residents, but is HIGHLY discounted (like 1/2 of the normal cost), but still high quality/high professionalism, etc. Good luck!

Oh gosh, best of luck to you. Though Dr. Campanile seems to yield satisfactory results for others, it was not the case with myself. I think it's important to find a doctor that not only has a small percentage of redo's, but a doctor who can accommodate "the unknown" and who is willing to go above and beyond for their patients if their results aren't as expected. I didn't know about the Med University in Denver.. I would really suggest looking in Dr. Di Saia in Orange County. I flew out to have my "laday" surgery redone by him and he is AWESOME!! Also seems like Dr. Robert Cohen in Arizona would be a good one to look into. I had thought about him but flying out of state seemed scary at the time.
