Before having surgery, i did months or research. I looked at hundreds of pictures and read a tons or reviews. I finally decided that Dr Campos was the one. His before and after pictures were amazing and the price was decent. I originally planned 2 surgeries with Dr. Campos. First i had breast implant surgery and a butt fat transfer. My left breast has always been bigger and that was one of the issues i was most worried about. I absolutely didn't want them to end up different sizes. He explained that silicone come in set sizes and would not be optimum for my situation. To compensate for the size difference he suggested we use saline. It wasn't my first choice but i trusted his advice. As soon as i arrived at the recovery clinic, i took a look and was really upset. Immediately i could tell that the big one was still much bigger than the other. I made sure to bring this up to him before leaving mexico. He said it was just swelling and they would be the same size once they healed. At my next visit with him there was still an obvious size difference. When i complained, he just blew it off and was COMPLETELY unwilling to take any responsibility. His explanations: Maybe I've just been exerting one side of my body more and that was causing swelling in the big one. He didn't make a mistake, he compensated for the size difference. It's all right nobody will able to tell with my clothes on. Really? It's NOT ok, even if nobody can see them when i have my clothes on. I can see them and after spending all that money and going through the recover i should be feeling happy and confident. Now i just feel self conscious and cheated.
My fat transfer went almost as bad. I inherited my moms "white girl" booty. I was hoping for a round, perky and sexy rear. They didn't end up at all like the after pictures you see online. While they are a little wider, they're definitely flat. There's no roundness to them. I pointed it out and his explanation was that i must has smashed them. That when he finished the surgery they were big, round and perky. So again, NOT his fault.
No matter what you say to him, it's never his responsibility. He said that he could correct them but I'd have to pay all over again. To top it off his prices have gone sky high. It will take me a long time to afford a correction. Its not just the surgery, you have take time off of work, pay for your flight, food and stay in Mx .
I understand that doctors can't guarantee results but i do think they should take some responsibility when things don't turn out right. I don't think that he realizes how long we have to scrimp and save to finally make our surgeries happen. Money may come easily to you now Dr. Campos, but your patients spend months and years saving and sacrificing to pay for 1 surgery. You weren't always a surgeon right? Remember what it was like to earn money as a "regular" person. It's really unfair to blame your patient. I know that you can't do the surgery for free but it definitely should be a very discounted price.
Like i mentioned before i had planned a second surgery. After this experience, i had no choice but to cancel the second. A couple of my best friends were also hoping to have surgery with him. After seeing my results they didn't hesitate to cancel their plans with Dr. Campos. He may have business right now but if he keeps this up, word is going to spread and his clientele is going to dry up.
One other note, I think that the front office staff needs to be more discreet when it comes to patient procedures. 2 of the 3 days i was there, i heard details about what other patients were getting done. While some people may not care if others find out what they're getting done. I'd rather not have a room full of people hear that i'm getting fat pumped into my hiney. LOL

Dr Jaime Campos Leon, be accountable for your mistakes.

I wish that i had found a forum addressing how he deals with unsatisfactory results. At least then i could of decided if it was worth the risk, before dealing with him. Not many fields allow service providers the luxury of saying: Ok i didn't deliver what you paid for so why don't you pay me again and i'll get it right this time. I mean, if you take your car to a body shop but it comes back with the same old dents and scratches on it - Are you expected to pay again to get the job done right? No! The body shop sucks it up, maybe has to take a loss but the job gets done right. Dr Jaime Campos Leon doesn't see it that way. He'll tell you: We'll there's expenses involved in a second surgery. There's the operating room fees, the anesthesiologist, materials, insurance, blah blah blah. Well guess what Dr, That isn't my problem. I already paid all those fees and you proceeded to give me lopsided knockers and a deflated rump. Take the hit, suck up the monetary loss and do the job you were paid to do.

He should of told you to pay for the anesthesia fee and not charge you for the job he fucked up I can't believe it love did he offer a discount anything omg what a fckn jerk his prices are so high to
October 18, 2015
If I'm reading her post correctly, that's exactly what he offered her. Sounds like he's offering to do the work for free but she has to cover anesthesia fee, OR fee and administrative fee which is completely normal, usual cost for a plastic surgeon for a revision of their previous work. It sounds like she doesn't want to pay a penny for the redo. I'm sorry but that's asking too much. BBL is unpredictable and no one knows how much fat anybody is going to retain. It's not a doctor's fault but it sounds like he's still offering a free redo as long as she covers the other costs. Once again, this is the redo policy of most plastic surgeons.

October 18, 2015
Yes I agree all Doctors ask for the anesthesia fee n OR is fair to have to pay that it's only fair and I do agree when we go through a BBL it's not 100% perfect specially when u combine it with another procedures for Exsample I had a Extended Tummy Tuck he told me since the beginning your BBL Results might not be 100% why bs I was going through a TT that required for me to lay on the back all the time but even though this was my case I love that way my Botty came out I'm very happy with the size how long ago did you have your surgery it takes time for you to actual see ur final results I remember in the beginning not liking my BBl it was to wide n big but as time went by n swelling went away I'm very happy with the way it turn out
October 18, 2015
No hes not offering to do a free redo. He's refuses to even acknowledge that he made mistakes. I do understand having to pay the 500 for the anesthesiologist, after all it's not his fault that the surgery has to be corrected. What i dont understand is having to pay a surgery fee of 2k to fix my rear and get my breasts to be of matching size. I also don't understand having to pay the 1800 facility fee all over again. I'ts not like his surgeries take place in a hospital where he is charged an OR fee for every surgery. Almost 2500? Not reasonable.

Personally, I have had long fights with body shops over shoddy work they refused to acknowledge, lol! I think it's a bad analogy because car repair shops are notorious for charging people for work they didn't need or didn't even actually do. You always see local news stations going under cover to do reports on it.
October 19, 2015
he did me the same way. I paid for revisions and now my butt looks worse than when i started. He sucks

I'm new to posting on here. If anyone knows how to start a thread dedicated to this topic, i would be really grateful. Maybe if all of his patients complaints are in one place he might take notice. It may also serve as a good resource for his present and possible future patients.

I think it would be helpful if you posted before and after pictures too. People need to see exactly what your complaint is and the results of his work. Remember that he is a TOP Doctor is this website and most his work is awesome. Again this is just my opinion. As his patient, I was happy with my end results. I still need to post an update and more pics on my profile. I am really sorry all went wrong with your procedure. I know how long it takes to save $$ just for this not to mention the recovery process we all endure... No fun and I believe a doctor should take responsibility for a bad outcome and his priority the patient's satisfaction and health.
October 18, 2015
I understand you're upset, but I really wish you'd post at least a couple before and after comparison pictures so we can see what you're living with. As far as starting a thread, that's what your review is. It's a review about your disappointment with your outcome and when ripple research Dr. Campos they will be able to read your review. However, I know during my research, I tended to ignore bad reviews with no pictures. Did you ask Dr. Campos what his policy on revisions based on patient dissatisfaction was before you had surgery? I always ask this question when I'm having a consultation. The answers vary. An example of one such policy is a doctor I consulted with charges a $650 administration fee plus OR costs so a revision with cost his patient about $2000 or so. Another doctor told me he doesn't charge any fee but $1500 must still be paid for OR costs. I don't know of any doctor who doesn't still require the OR costs to be covered especially when dealing with a surgery where the outcome is so unpredictable like a BBL. Has Dr. Campos offered a redo if you cover administrative and OR fees or is he expecting you to pay full price all over again?

October 18, 2015

what is the complaint your making against him?
Where are your before and after photos?
You can't one star rate a surgeon without any receipts backing your claims
