After extensive research, I chose Dr. Champaneria for my mommy makeover — which included a breast reduction, tummy tuck, and liposuction to the flanks — and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.From the moment I met him, Dr. Champaneria stood out. He is incredibly knowledgeable, meticulous, and truly listens. He took the time to understand my goals and thoroughly explained every step of the process, from pre-op expectations to recovery and long-term results. His attention to detail is extraordinary, and his calm, confident demeanor immediately put me at ease. He is not only a gifted surgeon but a perfectionist in the very best way — nothing about his work feels rushed or generalized.When it came time for surgery, I was so impressed with the surgery center. It was immaculate, well-organized, and the entire team made me feel calm and safe from the moment I arrived. The nurses, anesthesiologist, and staff members were professional, kind, and attentive. There wasn’t a single moment where I felt nervous or unsure — their warmth and competence gave me complete trust that I was in the best possible environment. Safety and comfort were clearly a priority, and I could feel that every step of the way.The results have exceeded anything I imagined. My breast reduction has completely transformed the way I feel about my body. After breastfeeding three children, I was left with volume loss, sagging, and asymmetry. Dr. Champaneria restored a youthful, natural-looking shape that suits my frame perfectly. I never thought my breasts could look this good again — they're lifted, beautifully proportioned, and no longer feel like flat saggy pancakes.The tummy tuck and liposuction to my flanks gave me the contour I didn’t think was possible post-pregnancy. I had significant excess skin, looseness, and softness in my midsection that no amount of diet or exercise could address. Now, my waist is defined, my abdomen is flat and smooth, and the love handles that used to bother me are gone. The combination of the tummy tuck and flank lipo sculpted my torso in a way that looks completely natural but dramatically improved. I finally feel confident in fitted clothes and a BIKINI!— something I hadn't felt since before having kids.His office is just as impressive as his surgical skill. The staff is organized, responsive, and kind. Appointments always run on time, and I felt supported and informed through every phase of the process. The post-op care was exceptional — every concern I had was addressed quickly, and Dr. Champaneria personally checked in to ensure everything was healing properly.What sets Dr. Champaneria apart is that he blends surgical excellence with genuine care. He’s not just focused on the result — he cares about how you feel, how you heal, and how this journey impacts your life. I can’t thank him enough for the care he gave me and the confidence I’ve regained. If you’re considering a mommy makeover or any body contouring procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Champaneria. His work is transformative, and so is the experience of being in his care. More

Dr Champanaria and his team of associates were incredibly detailed and thoughtful every step of the way. I appreciated Dr Champaneria’s ability to guide me through my options as I prepared to have a mommy makeover. Initially I wanted implants and Dr Champaneria recommended against it based on a couple of factors, I am so glad I went with his recommendation as I am thrilled with both my tummy tuck and breast lift. His expertise and consultative style can’t be matched. I would recommend Dr Champanaria to anyone seeking a mommy makeover or anything else. More

34 Years Old, 2 Kids, Pregnancy Wasn't Good to Me - Vancouver, WA - After dedicating 3 years of my life to trying to get my "pre-pregnant" body back, I conceded that pregnancy wasn't good to me. I had two children and lost over 135 pounds, stuck to a very strict diet and exercise schedule, and still couldn't get my body back. Like many women I had a constant protruding stomach and lots of excess skin. My breasts were completely deflated and also had excess skin. After much research and 4 different consultations I finally found Dr. Champaneria and it was a match made in heaven! He made me feel comfortable immediately and from our first visit I knew he was the surgeon for me. His office is super professional and very friendly. He set out a game plan for a full abdominalplasty with muscle repair and a breast lift with augmentation (also known as a mommy makeover) I was hesitant at first to do the whole thing but Dr. Champaneria welcomed and answered all my questions with ease. He is very knowledgable and confident in his abilities. He also clearly outlined what to expect in the recovery process. The surgery went perfect, my incisions are as minimal as possible, and Dr. Champaneria and his team were there for me every step of the way. My aftercare is amazing and I love going into the office. I finally have my body back and could not be happier. I highly recommend Dr. Champaneria to anyone looking for a Plastic surgeon, he is truly amazing!!! More

Mommy Makeover - This office, and this doctor are WONDERFUL! If you choose to have any procedures done, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Champaneria. His pre op and post op care is WONDERFUL. He cares about you, and spends time with you, and listens to what your ideas are too. I have never felt hurried while in his office. You will not be disappointed if you go to see him. You will be ELATED after surgery too! The office staff is GREAT also. More
