WORTH IT
Recovery is going smoothly and I couldn't be happier! My advice is to follow all your instructions carefully and take notes! I love the internet, but it hasn't gone to medical school, listen to your doctor!! :) Wear your compression garment at all times! Also a few tips... I rented a medical lift chair and it was so worth it! Getting up and down for the first week can be challenging. Also, there are several apps that can help manage your meds. They will give you notifications when you're due for your next dosage. It's a lot to remember, so I found that really helpful! Most importantly, have help! The key is to take it easy!

Best Decision!
Hi All!
I am 51 with 4 kids. Over the past year gravity, age and metabolism became my enemies and left me with a ton of extra loose skin on my tummy, jowls & neck. I decided to so some research into doctors which through several great reviews brought me to Dr. Campanile & Dr. Ladner. I drove almost 2 hours to Denver and let me tell you, it was more than worth it! It was a win win situation having both doctors in the same office. Dr. Ladner who is a board certified surgeon specializing in facial and reconstructive surgery who I decided after meeting him that he was the one that I wanted to do my necklift. He took all the time I needed to answer all my questions and I felt super confident in my decision! Dr. Campanile was equally as amazing and also board certified and developed the no drain C.L.A.S.S. tummy tuck. I spent hours looking at before and after pictures of many doctors online and noticed that so many plastic surgeons’ tummy tucks looked kind of like a tube sock pulled down, with no shape and a fake looking belly button. Dr. Campanile’s before and after pics were by far superior and more of what I was looking for. So fast forward…. I am now 3 ½ weeks post op and I cannot tell you how happy I am!! It was amazing seeing my before and after pictures!! My face doesn’t look like I’ve had plastic surgery. I just look like my younger self! Dr. Ladner nailed it and gave me exactly what I wanted! My tummy tuck pictures are like night and day!!! Dr. Campanile gave me my pre-kids hour glass shape back and my belly is gone!!! Last but not least, the staff! Everyone in the office has been so accommodating and wonderful to me and I can’t say enough great things about them all. If you are considering taking the plunge, I would encourage you to set up a consultation and see for yourself! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself!!!
