On leading patient communities such as US News Doctors and Obesity Help, Dr. Capella has received 5 stars from more than 99% of patients, reflecting the trust and confidence patients place in his care.
I wish I had gone to Dr. Capella before I had excess skin removal surgeries by another surgeon. In my opinion, a general plastic surgeon doesn't fully understand what is necessary to repair the damage caused by losing a massive amount of weight after obesity. A specialist in this area of plastic surgery is imperative when you are looking for the best results. After losing 300 pounds, Dr. Capella's expertise allowed all of my hard work to show. I couldn't be happier with my results after he performed a lower body lift, thigh and breast lifts. I have to travel to see him but it is well worth the expense, time and effort when you want the very best care. Dr. Capella is patient, kind and understanding. His PA, Scott, along with Kerry and Macey in the office are all top notch at their jobs and the entire team makes you feel at ease. I also received excellent care at the Hackensack University hospital where my surgeries were performed.
I lost some weight and my arms literally collapsed into a crepey loose skin mess. I did not want surgery. I tried every lotion, potion, laser and exercise with zero improvement. I knew surgery was the only way to fix it and began researching surgeons. I was TERRIFIED of the scars, but decided scars would be better than what I had. I met several surgeons and decided to have Dr. Joseph Capella do the surgery. I chose him because of his extensive experience with this procedure. Beware that many plastic surgeons say they do this procedure, many may have done a few and they will do it for you, but Dr. Capella has done this extensively. This is not a routine easy procedure, you need a surgeon with extensive experience with armlift. I have waited a year to post this review to be sure of the results. I am thrilled. I am back in tank tops and sun dresses. The scar is barely noticeable with placement under the arm so you can't see it from front or back. Recovery was a bit challenging but worth every second of it. Also, I was not an easy patient, questioning every detail and frequently calling the office. I have NEVER had a physician and their office be so responsive. Trust me, I was so annoying that I annoyed myself but this Doctor and staff stood by me every step of the way. EVERYthing Dr. Capella, his PA Scott, and Office Manager Kerry told me turned out to be exactly as they said. I will end by saying that Dr. Capella, in addition to being an exceptional surgeon, is honest, compassionate and kind. A true gentleman. I could not be more pleased.
Dr. Capella is truly an amazing doctor! I’ve had 2 procedures with him that has changed my life completely for the better! I will recommend him to everyone! His assistant surgeon Scott is amazing too! His office team is also amazing! They are kind and knowledgeable and very patient as i have called them with multiple questions and they have answered them all and worked well with my disability claims and filled out all the paper work needed. Definitely hire him! You won’t regret it.
I love Dr. Capella and Scott. I looked for over two years for someone I could trust and feel comfortable and confident with before choosing Dr. Capella. I was so nervous going to my first apt, they all made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Capella’s bedside manner is everything I had hoped it would be, he is so gentle and kind and made me feel so comfortable. He listens when you talk and takes his time with you and answers any questions or concerns honestly. His experience and knowledge is evident. My experience pre, intra, post-operative has been amazing and consistent, Kerry at the front desk is amazing as well and is always so helpful. I was so impressed that Dr.Capella and Scott personally called me multiple times after my surgeries to check on me. If I ever had any questions or concerns, they respond so quickly. I love my results and the entire process!
Dr. Capella and his staff are absolutely wonderful. Of course I had done my research and saw two surgeons before I saw Dr. Capella. Seeing those 2 surgeons prior to him was a waste of my time! I am soooo happy I saw him. From the moment I contacted the office, to the consultation, instructions for the surgery, after the surgery, it has all been a great experience and made me feel confident and at ease (except the overnight in the facility, they were awful but Dr. Capella wasn’t at fault for them). Every single staff from Kerry, Macey, Scott and Dr. Capella have been wonderful! And the best part is I look amazing! Thank you for making such a difference in my life!
Dr. Capella and ALL his staff were wonderful. I am extremely happy with my results so far. I am not completely healed but from what I can see, everything is looking the way it’s supposed to. I flew in from South Dakota to specifically have this done with Dr. Capella. I had met with 11 (no joke) surgeons prior to speaking with Dr. Capella. After our initial phone call and doing my research on him, I finally booked my surgery, flights and hotel stay. I would do it all over again! Dr. Capella is was so nice and made me feel like I wasn’t just another patient. He took the time to thoroughly go over both procedures I was having. He also visited the next morning while I was in a recovery/care facility. Kerry is his ‘right hand gal’ and she is fantastic along with his assistant, Scott. There was also another traveling nurse that helped with my procedure, I think her name was Rachelle? She was so friendly and had a very calming presence. Communication with both Kerry and Macey were superlative. I sent a ton of emails and my questions were always answered in a timely fashion. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Capella and his staff.
I have always hated my arms. I have bad genetics and they always were bigger than my body making me look like I was much heavier than I am. I had liposuction done over 10 years ago and unfortunately that made my arms worse I made them sag. I went to a Dr. Capella because he came highly recommended. I also had friends and relatives go to him. He has done an extensive amount of arm lifts and has even perfected his own stitching to help with scarring I had my surgery on 9/21 so this is only my fourth day I feel fantastic my arms are tight and sore but nothing compared to my abdominoplasty I had years ago. I did not even need to take pain meds I just took eight hour Tylenol The whole experience from arriving at Hackensack hospital to the recovery room was very smooth and pleasant. The nurses at the surgical center were fantastic and took such good care of me Dr. capella staff is also extremely responsive. Every time I email Kerry I get an email back within a half an hour. I am posting some before and after pictures I will keep updating on my recovery to help others out there who are looking to have this done. Again this is only my fourth day so the incisions have not yet flattened. I really don’t have a lot of bruising either from the lipo I have been taking Arnica Montana and bromelain So far I am VERY HAPPY I had this done I’m not worried about the scars as I can have scar revision 18 months out. I’m also going to work very hard to take good care of them. The trade off of the scars is well worth it for me to be able to wear tank tops and short sleeves and not be mortified by my arms Updated on 6 Oct 2021: I still have lot of tightness and my arm pits are very sore. I do have what looks like small separation in my armpit but I go on Friday for the Dr to look at. I still m not driving I m afraid of pulling my incision. I have noticed a lot of large hard lumps under my skin but I have read that is normal. I will ask on Friday. I still cannot get over how much better my arms look this was so worth it at this point I do need to stay I am being very careful I still am not driving any farther than like a half of a mile. I’m not lifting my arms over my head. I’m being very conscious of everything that I do Updated on 6 Oct 2021: I m trying to upload my photos Updated on 6 Oct 2021: Updated on 21 Oct 2021: Had my 4 week checkup today and doctor said I m doing great! No issues at all other than swelling which is to be expected still I am extremely happy with how my arms are progressing and I can’t wait to see how they look a year from now when everything is completely healed including the scar!
Dr. Capella and staff were great! Surgery went so well, as did recovery. Wasn’t a fan of aftercare at Care One. I suggest hiring a private nurse. Almost two years later, I am well healed with a flat tummy and barely a visible scar! So happy with dr. Capella I went back an did upper body lift, this week! This is a little harder recovery bc it involved arms. Will try to post pics at later time.
20 years ago, I lost 160 pounds with diet and exercise. I have been left with a lot of extra skin and have had various surgeries over the years. 5 years ago, I had a total body lift with Dr. Capella. This week, I went back for a back lift and vertical thigh lift. I am post op day #3. The first 2 days were pretty bad. Having my upper and lower body done at the same time makes it hard to move! The pain was really bad too as I made Dr C promise to pull my back as tight as possible. My husband took this picture for me. I will include leg pictures in a day or two Updated on 14 Jan 2021: Overall very pleased! Leg scars are actually really light and the recovery was easier than expected with not a lot of swelling. Back was more painful then legs. I planned to be out of work for 2 weeks but went back after 3 and I’m on my feet all day and did pretty well. Not sure why photos are rotated!
So first let me start by saying being a mom of 3 going “under” was my biggest fear! First time I met Dr. Capella, well, he is the most down to earth man. I felt like I was talking to a family member who was truly listening to what I was looking for and my concerns. I felt totally confident that he was surgeon I was going to have do my implants and tummy tuck. His staff are remarkable! Any question I had they were always there to answer. Thank you to all of you for making my experience a pleasurable one.
If you are looking for an experienced, well-respected, compassionate, confident and exceptionally competent, board certified plastic surgeon, with a specialty in body contouring and brachioplasty, Dr. Joseph Capella (Ramsey, NJ) is a leader in the field. I thoroughly researched brachioplasty experts, and was willing to travel anywhere in the country for the best care. I scoured many doctor’s websites and the vast majority did not have any photos of arm lifts they personally performed; Dr. Capella’s website had in excess of 100.
Prior to meeting Dr. Capella, I went for several consultations, with high profile, accomplished surgeons. I wanted to hear multiple opinions before making such a big decision. I left every appointment with one reservation or another. I did not want a plastic surgeon who “does some arm lifts” but hundreds of breasts and noses. I wanted someone who had done hundreds of arms. My last consultation appointment was with Dr. Capella. I scheduled the appointment with the assistance of his office manager, Kerry, who was kind and accommodating. I arrived hopeful. From the moment I met Dr. Capella, I was impressed. I was feeling anxious, but he immediately made me feel comfortable. He has a very calming presence, which is important to me. We sat in his office to talk first and then an exam followed. He spent as much time as I needed, and gathered information about my history, concerns and expectations. He showed me photos of his work, explained the details of the procedure and answered all of my questions (I had many). When I shared with him the opinions of other surgeons I saw, regarding how they would approach the surgery (liposuction as one procedure; skin removal as a second procedure), he listened and shared with me why he does things the way that he does. His ego did not appear to be threatened by my questions or by the fact that I went for several consultations. Some doctors get impatient or defensive when questioned, but not Dr. Capella. He was open, relatable, approachable and transparent. He shared with me how his methods have morphed over the years and how experience brought him there. There is NO teacher like experience, and he has tons. For example, his suture style is different than many other doctors, but once he explained WHY he closes incisions in a unique way, it made perfect sense (and now at 5 weeks post-op, I am thrilled with the scar so far). He made me feel comfortable in the exam room, and inspected my scars from previous surgeries so he and I could realistically predict how my brachioplasty scar might heal. He also spoke to me about risks, how he handles complications and how he handles revisions. He was quite confident in a favorable result but was honest and did not make empty promises of perfection. I asked Kerry to hold a date for me, and they generously gave me a few days to make a final decision (which clearly, I did). On the day of surgery, I reported to the hospital. I was happy that Dr. Capella performs this procedure in a high ranked hospital setting. Everyone I interacted with at the facility was friendly, welcoming and understanding. I felt relaxed, knowing that Dr. Capella’s operating room assistant, Scott, has been working with Dr.C for many years. Dr. Capella also rotates between several anesthesiologists with whom he shares a relationship and experience. I did not want him to meet his team that morning for the first time. I wanted them to have a history of successfully working together, which they did. I told Dr. C that I did not want any residents to work on me or to be present. I only wanted him performing the procedure. He assured me that he would be the only doctor working on me. The anesthesiologist introduced herself to me and we spoke at length about what I should expect. She was wonderful. After the surgery, I spent several hours in recovery, and the nurses there were excellent. They were attentive and helped with whatever I needed. I knew I was in good hands from arrival to discharge. Post-surgery, I have been healing well. While recovery has been a little more difficult than I anticipated, I am making progress each day. I was most surprised by how long it has taken me to do things independently, but I am also the cautious type. I have had several questions over the past five weeks, and Dr. Capella has answered every one of them. He and his office are so responsive to every concern. I send him photos weekly (sometimes more than once a week) so that he can look at my incision and let me know what is normal, and why things are happening as they are. He and his staff never make me feel like a bother and get back to me quickly (even once on a Saturday night). Aftercare is as important to me as surgical skill, and I have received the best aftercare. Dr. Capella and his staff are as invested in my result and I am. He wants his patients to feel good and look good. While It is too early in my recovery to know what my final results will be, I am confident that Dr. Capella will make sure I am healthy and satisfied with the aesthetics. I am grateful that I found him and highly recommend Dr. Joseph Capella to anyone considering, body contouring, especially brachioplasty.
Dr Capella is an expert in his field. I absolutely love the results from the body lift he did! He is thorough, and beyond knowledgeable. He explained the entire process from start to finish so I would know exactly what to expect. I recommend him to anyone considering a procedure. The transformation is fantastic and I have never felt better. After losing 98 lbs., the body lift has been the perfect solution to excess skin. You’re in expert hands with Dr. Capella!
Dr. Capella and his entire staff exceeded expectations. Professional, compassionate, excellent bedside manners. I feel blessed to have found this doctor. I traveled out of state to see him due to his expertise in post bariatric skin removal surgery. The techniques he uses are world renowned. He is brilliant. Changed my life...
I say this with all sincerity, and I work for a Dr. and consider myself a pretty good judge. He is what I would consider to be a Dr’s Dr. Someone so proficient in his field that his colleagues can learn from him. I had a neck lift and abdominoplasty with Dr Capella and both far exceeded my expectation. I have had ps in the past and have never been so impressed by a doctor’s integrity, skill, and staff, without all the bells and whistles that are often found in a ps office that can be so misleading. He is the “real deal.
They are happy to answer any and all questions and are very friendly and caring. I live in South Jersey, Dr. Capella’s father did my Gastric Bypass 15 years ago and I finally decided to have the Lower Body Lift. Dr. Capella was more affordable and cares enough about his patients to have them stay overnight which many PSs didn’t require. He always responds either by phone or email and if he is in surgery he makes sure his staff responds.
I chose Dr. Joseph Capella to perform the procedure when I clearly realized he is, by far, the best choice. I knew other people who had great results with him and all the positive reviews of Dr. Capella on other websites made me feel even more confident to go with him. In addition, he has so many before and after photos of breast augmentation which were very helpful. He clearly has performed a huge number of breast augmentation cases. My recovery was quick and all incision marks were minor and have faded away in time. Throughout the process – from my initial consultation to my final check-ups, Dr. Capella took his time to explain everything in great detail and was very warm and personable. I clearly understood what I should expect from the results of the procedure. I definitely picked the right surgeon for my procedure and highly recommend Dr. Capella to everyone interested in breast augmentation. With Dr. Capella, you will have exceptional care, attention to detail, and results you will be proud to show off! If you’re looking for the best surgeon, you’ve found him with Dr. Capella.
Dr. Capella has now completed 2 surgeries for me. An arm lift and now a body lift. I have known Dr Capella for many years. I see his work at my facility and many of our nurses and staff have been to him personally. He is thorough. Directed. Really enjoys being able to assist. This isn't a money issue. He truly wants to make you the best version of yourself. I lost 30 pounds and wanted a lift. He was able to produce the contouring needed to make it look so natural and unbelievable normal in appearance. The staff in his office are so competent and professional and knowledgeable. This office is made for the normal person who just wants to be back to themselves. I am healing. I look GOOD- and I am so happy with the process of becoming a better version of myself. Dr. Capella will be the only doctor you need to finish your journey. He will be there with you and will know exactly what you need to make you feel pretty again. Trust me. Trust him.
Dr Capella did a remarkable job. He was honest about everything financially and explained everything to me step by step. What a wonderful experience. Thank you Dr Capella for giving me my confidence back.
Three months ago Dr Capella performed my extended brachioplasty. The Dr and his staff are the best - they are very professional, informative, and always get back to me promptly. I had no openings, infections, problems, pain or complications following surgery!
Dr. Capella and his entire staff are simply amazing. They are so kind, professional and talented. He has truly changed my life for the better and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I had a lower body lift and breast implant exchange, lift and reduction at the same time and he did an amazing job. I am 6 weeks out and Dr Capella, Scott, Macy and Kerri have all been there for me every step of the way. They are approachable, I feel comfortable to talk to them about anything and they answer immediately. Dr Capella is so kind he reassures you if you’re not happy with something in time he will fix it and doesn’t make you feel bad about it. I was so scared of the pain and the scar that would be left with a lower body lift but it looks amazing!! I never once was in pain, I took the pain killers he prescribed, make sure you take them to the aftercare facility because they don’t have any there and after two days I only needed extra strength Tylenol. People constantly ask how do you sit if your cut all the way around. You are numb I didn’t even feel it. I was uncomfortable but no pain, where I was ever crying or screaming. After surgery the ambulate picks you up to go to the aftercare faculty, they were wonderful and kind as well, I was so scared of the ambulance ride but they were so gentle. The after care facility was nice and I had a private room. I emailed Dr Caopella in the middle of the night, he called me immediately and came in at 6am. His Aftercare is amazing. I email them and they answer you immediate by email or phone call. I wish there was 10 stars to give this staff. If anyone has questions please email me, you won’t be sorry choosing Dr. Capella.
Dr. Joseph Capella performed my brachioplasty and I love the results. I had no pain, openings, infections, or complications. After surgery either the Dr or his staff followed up with phone calls to make sure all was good. I had three other consults with other plastic surgeons and felt he was the best for me since loosing over 135 lbs. Dr Capella and his staff ( Kerry, Macey and Scott) are the best!
I lost around 200 lbs and was left with a body that destroyed my mental health. With saggy skin rolls everywhere, mirrors were banished from my house as seeing myself naked would immediately result in tears. My mental health was destroyed and seemed irreparable. The pandemic provided me the time and space to do intensive research; the different combination of surgeries, the outcomes, the risks, the horror stories, and then the surgeons. Once I was ready to start looking at surgeons, I established principles of how I would make a decision: price will not be a deciding factor; I won't compromise with my expectations or health; and I do a full professional background search and history before doing a consult with any doctor - lawsuits, licences and credentials, reviews, medical association standings, sanctions, reviews, etc. I consulted with two surgeons locally and wasn't impressed with their results or price, even if OHIP would pay for one of the procedures. I then expanded my search to my province and all major cities in Canada and had the same disappointment for price, consult and results or a combo of two.
I then expanded my search to all of North America and realized I need to focus on plastic surgeons that specialize in weight loss reconstructive body surgery, to get the results I am looking for. Dr Capella was the first doctor that got short listed. I went through all of his body lift before and afters on his website. Once I got to page 10, I saw my body in the before and after. His before and after pictures then became the standard to compare all other surgeons.
My virtual consult with Dr C made me like him instantly. He listened to my laundry list of issues I had with my body. He laid out his recommended plan and when there was options, he engaged me on my preferences, which was for a smoking hot body!! He took the time explained how each of the issues I had with my body could be addressed and never pushed anything on me or recommended something that didn’t address the issues I outlined. He heard me — really, actually heard me! It took me a lot of time and consults but I narrowed it down to him and another doctor as they both met my mandatory criteria, but when it came down to it, Dr C met every one of my additional preferences or “nice to haves”. I immediately called his office and paid the deposit to secure a surgery date.
As I was driving about 6 hours from Canada, his office did a fantastic job to help me coordinate all presurgery requirements in a 24 hour trip for a face to face consult with Dr C for the formal surgical plan, sizing for implants and connected me with a doctor that could complete the pre-surgical clearance and blood work. I brought my friend with me who was going to take care of me after surgery. We both were amazed and impressed after meeting Dr C face to face. We can’t say enough kind things about him and his team!
Two weeks after the in person consult, I’m getting surgery for a circumferential abdominoplasty, Brachioplasty, Flankplasty and Breast Augmentation with Saline Implant on March 22, 2022! Dr Cs surgical team put my mind immediately at ease. Of course an amazing surgeon is going to build an amazing surgical team! The nurses, Scott and the anesthesiologist are fantastic and take such good care of you!! I’ve never been so excited for something in my life. The surgery went amazing and I felt no pain. I was a little uncomfortable but I took a Tylenol the night and morning after surgery and needed nothing else. I was up and about walking a mile and a half, 2 days after surgery to get coffee. I negotiated with Dr C to stay in the US until the first set of drains were removed and then have virtual follow ups. If anything went wrong, he’d work with my Canadian doctor or go back to NJ. I sent pictures before I removed the remaining drains myself and Scott immediately responded how great they look and that I was ready. Twice I emailed pictures of things I was wondering if I should be concerned about and right away, Scott replied putting my mind at ease and explaining that everything was good.
Today I had my 6-week virtual follow up with Dr C. I’ve had no issues, complications or pain, and some of the incisions you can’t even see anymore (breast augmentation) or are small white lines (arms and flanks)! I couldn’t thank him enough on the phone for being so amazing and the artistry he performed on my body. I then raised proceeding with our plan as it’s an unfinished masterpiece and turned our follow up into a consult. He laid out a plan for my remaining transformation and we negotiated how long I would stay and the follow up. I didn’t even need a half second to think about it. I immediately asked him to send me a quote, so that I could pay the deposit to secure the next available surgical date 3 months post op. Tomorrow I’m calling Kerry to secure a surgery date before you read this review and take the date.
I like Dr. Joe. I am having a complication that I'm not sure if it is his fault or not. I am happy with my overall appearance following this surgery but something went wrong and and I need to understand how it happened. I need to ask him I just haven't had the opportunity. I don't know what is really happening to me.
The first impression when I was told that I could not make an appointment with Dr. Capella until I first came to a seminar - was the best feeling I could have, showing me that this was not just a fly by night surgeon. This gave me a lot of good feelings.
Dr. Capella and his entire staff are caring, concerned, and extremely skilled. I highly recommend him.
I met with three plastic surgeons for consults, but after meeting Dr Capella, I knew he was the one I would use. He is the furthest away from me, but I am confident he is the best choice for me.
My weight loss surgery was in October, 1974, long before the general public even knew WLS existed. There was also no plastic surgery specialty relating to WLS patients. I began researching PS in 2003 and in November 04 decided on Dr. Joseph Capella. The decision was easy. His knowledge, enthusiasm and demeanor gave me the comfort level I needed. April 05 I had a lower body lift and June 05 I had breast augmentation and bracioplasty. I am very happy with the results and Dr. Capella.
I am postop LBL. I could not be happier having used Dr Capella, and recommend him highly. I had previously consulted 4 other well known PS, but left each visit doubtful if each was the surgeon for me. However, I just knew immediately after consulting Dr. Capella that he was the perfect surgeon for me, and I could not have been more comfortable with my choice. He is well trained, and extremely well experienced having performed approx 300 LBLs to date. He does all cosmetic and reconstructive work, but also has a national reputation for specializing in plastic surgery for WLS patients. His attitude regarding obesity and WLS surgery is excellent as his father is a bariatric surgeon. I also plan to continue to use Dr Capella in the future for some upper body work.
*I have since had additional PS, and remain very happy with both the results and Dr. Capella. Worth the trip into Jersey.
Dr Capella is the best!
Great surgeon, no complications, excellent results! Lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation.
Even though I had complications with both surgeries I had with him...I would still recommend him as a doctor.
I had a lbl and breast reduction and am now scheduled for my arms and medial thigh lift. The lbl and breast reduction was only 6 weeks ago but so far I am very pleased. I still have swelling as expected. Dr. Capella clearly loves his job and as far as I am concerned that is what makes him so incredible at it. He is interested in perfecting his art and we benefit from it. I had no serious problems with surgery at all and am just about back to normal activity.
I have to share my experience with Dr Capella and his staff. I feel they are nothing short of FABULOUS. I had a body lift and outer thigh and butt lift done with them 8 months ago. Dr Capella was up front about my expected surgery results and what to expect during and after the recovery. The care I received post surgery was stellar. Most of the time I met with Scott - the PA who patiently listened and responded to all my questions and concerns. I never felt rushed or stupid for asking questions, I truly felt hear and respected for being so in tune with my body. Being able to email questions and get a response back was also a very helpful tool in my recovery.
I had an excellent experience and am looking forward to my next surgery with them. The office staff - Melba and Tara were also wonderful. I always got through to a pleasant voice ready to greet me on the other end.
I had a body life in April 2009. I am completely happy with the outcome. Dr. Joe was extremely sensitive to my needs.I called the office at least once a week and the staff was so friendly and willing to help me in any way they could. Scott who is Dr. Capella's PA is SO helpful and knowledgeable about the procedures. I recently went back to have a consultation on an inner thigh lift, and booked my surgery for December of this year. I highly reccommend Dr. Capella and his staff.
Dr. Joe did my tummy tuck, hernia repair and scar revision 6 wks ago. He & Scott are very knowledgable and friendly, also quite accomodating and prompt to respond (a rarity w/ surgeons). Also, their fees were reasonable and I'm extremely happy with the results thus far. The scars are very thin and look great even after only 6 weeks! Great practice! Thanks Dr. Joe, Scott & Val!
I lost 117 pounds from the Lapband and was not happy with my body. I went for a consultation with Dr. Capella and he immediately gained my trust with his extensive knowledge of plastic surgery. I had a body lift, breast lift, and arm lift in October 2008. I could not be happier with my results! Three months later I had an inner thigh lift and, again, could not be happier! It is very hard to lose so much weight and be left with extra skin. Dr. Capella gave me the body I worked so hard for and I cannot thank him enough!!
Dr. Capella is an extremely good listener who is always willing and ready to answer all of your questions and discuss your concerns.
I went to see 3 physicians before Dr. Capella. I chose him for his reputation, his knowledge, and his personality. I could not be happier.
He is an innovator and pioneer in the field and has one of the largest experiences in the world having performed more than 10,000 body contouring procedures. He truly excels at sculpting beauty from gobs of fat -- just check the tons of patient photos on his website. I have seen far too many patients lately who are very unhappy with the results their surgeons gave them. Worse, those surgeons then refuse to fix the work that they did. It truly breaks my heart that these patients must go through this heartache -- not to mention the waste of money. I promise you that if anyone can make your body look good, it is Dr. Capella.
Dr. Capella truly cares about his patients, I think more than any doctor I have ever met (and I know many doctors owing to my profession). I met him in 2006 when I was interviewing surgeons and since then he has always been the doctor whom I wanted to perform my surgery. I could not imagine going to anyone else.
I also admire Dr. Capella's philosophy and approach to business. He tries to do his surgeries as efficiently as possible and run his practice efficiently so as to keep the cost of surgery down. His goal is to make surgery attainable for as many people as possible. I have seen far less qualified surgeons charging considerably more money. Dr. Capella also does free revisions and does not charge for his consults. There is simply nothing more that a patient could want in a doctor than what they get in Dr. Capella. You may read an interview that I did with Dr. Capella on body contouring plastic surgery: http://www.healthcentral.com/obesity/c/276918/162591/interview-capella-plastic-1?ap=831
As for my surgery - a body lift of my entire upper and lower body and an inner thigh lift - he has been extremely supportive and compassionate beyond what I think any other surgeon would have done. The man is simply remarkable. I have gone through many stressers leading up to the day of my surgery and Dr. Capella was always there when I needed him, whether it was to resolve a problem or spend countless hours consulting me. I think he has given me somewhere between 6-8 hours of pre-surgery consults for my 6-hour surgery. He has gone above and beyond what any other surgeon would have done. There are certain special people who come into our lives that leave their imprint upon us forever. I will never forget how much care he provided to make sure that I went into surgery comfortable emotionally and with all of my questions answered. And I will always have the wonderful body that he sculpted for me. He seems too good to be true, but he really is THAT good. This I promise you.
Update, Nov 19th: I went from a size 14/16 to a size 8 in only 3.5-mos after my tummy tuck! And now less than 6-weeks after my upper/lower body lift and thigh lift, I am a size 4!
Update: at 4.5 months post op I am a size 2!
