Where do I begin? Dr. Champaneria is AMAZING! I had been interested in breast augmentation surgery for many years and finally had the courage to move forward and search for a suitable doctor to help me achieve my ultimate look. Dr. Champ was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had nothing but outstanding things to say about his phenomenal work and attention to detail as well as his genuine compassion for his patients. I met Dr. Champ during my first consultation and I immediately knew he was the one for the job. He made me feel more comfortable than I could have possibly imagined it would be to talk to a stranger about giving me bigger, fuller breasts. Through the whole process, I felt safe and at ease and I really enjoyed his supportive and lighthearted personality when discussing such personal topics as breast size and potential risks about the procedure. During my pre-op appointment, I got to try on some different types of implants and he gave me the utmost confidence that the ones I chose were suitable for my desired look as well as a healthy and safe option for my body. By the time I was ready for surgery, I had absolutely zero doubts that I had chosen the best doctor to do this for me. I ended up getting 450cc silicone implants which I absolutely LOVE! They look and feel so natural as if my body is finally proportioned to how it should have been my whole life. Dr. Champ understood exactly what I wanted to achieve and he delivered just that. With his keen attention to detail and his artistic touch, I really couldn't be happier with the results. And I had fun along the journey! If you are someone looking for a great plastic surgeon, I have all the faith in the world that Dr. Champaneria will be able to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Thank you Dr. C and thank you to your incredible staff! More

Hail to my amazing, exceptional, ultra knowledgeable plastic surgeon, Dr. Champaneria. His vast intelligence is obvious in all he communicates; his skills are beautifully pronounced in the work he performs and the results, amazing. Yet, he will offer you completely down to earth, kind, companionate comfort in his care—start to finish, each and every visit. Be it surgery or for fillers I can honestly say, his skills changed my life! What he was able to accomplish for my breast reconstruction and breast lift has made all the difference to a degree that will remain unmatched—in making me physically whole again. I could never honor the gift Dr. C has in restoring what was once lost—being found again. He is truly gifted in what he does. Thank you, Dr. Champaneria! You truly make a difference!! And, I do want to also mention that every staff member on his team is also thoroughly caring, kind, compassionate and competent! Grateful to be your patient! More

Dr. Champanaria performed reconstruction surgery in conjunction with my oncology surgeon. First, he did a right breast reconstruction with placement of a tissue expander, followed by removal of the expander and placement of an implant.I was so amazed at the high level of care I received from Dr. Champanaria and his staff. He is knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate and personable.I am 7 months post surgery and extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Champanaria. He is a gem! More

I was very pleased with my experience for an implant replacement after breast reconstruction. Dr Champaneria really takes his time to address all your questions and concerns from the initial consultation through surgery and recovery. He has a great bedside manner, explaining all the options. I had total trust in him throughout the process, and his office staff was responsive to my questions leading up to and after my procedure. More

This review is way past due, but I will do my best to give Dr. Champaneria and his staff the respect they deserve. Professional. Dr. Champaneria took the time to listen to mine and my husband's concerns before embarking on this breast reduction surgery. I was a 40G with very heavy breast and one side significantly larger than the other. After having my two children, I decided to do this for myself and my livelihood. I couldn't be happier with my results! I am now a 38DD and my shoulder and back pain is non-existent! He made me feel comfortable but most of all he gave me my confidence back. Do not hesitate to pay him a visit, even just the initial consultation will put your mind at ease! Thank you Dr. Champaneria, for giving me my life back! More

One month ago I had breast implants replaced by Dr Manish Champaneria and it was the best medical experience I’ve ever had. I had a preventative mastectomy 25 years ago and I needed replacement. I was referred to Dr Champaneria and I was nervous. He and his nurses and office staff made the whole experience calm and safe and relaxing for me with appts, information for prepping and post up and several follow-up calls. The results were fantastic. He did the replacement job but he totally improved the looks of my breasts and I was amazed. The experience of the operation at Scripps hospital was excellent and Dr Champaneria spent time before and after surgery with me and I have never felt so comfortable. He talked at length to my sister- my Caretaker about post surgery care. Again I’m thrilled with my results. Dr Champaneria is a true artist and excellent plastic surgeon. His staff was kind, efficient and professional always. I recommend him 200% For anyone looking for a highly qualified and talented surgeon . More

A bit of backstory: I've been "generously endowed" since age 14 or so, about a size 36 D or DD. Sometimes my size was annoying, but I just dealt with it. BUT THEN at age 62 or so, my breasts started getting bigger, even though the rest of me did not. At age 69 and size 346H I had daily headaches, divots in my shoulders from bra straps, found my breasts getting in the way of daily activities, and felt that my appearance did not reflect my personality at all. I went through the process of getting my doctor to prescribe breast reduction, then 6 weeks of physiotherapy (not much help, as the problem was not my posture), then getting Medicare approval, and finally made an appointment for a consultation. ( I mention the whole process because it's generally the protocol one must follow to get insurance to pay for breast reduction.) Dr. Champaneria was sensitive and honest about possible outcomes, provided complete information for before and after surgery, and was always pleasant and professional. He did a stellar job of reducing "the girls" while keeping them in proportion with the rest of me. I am very happy with the results and think my body finally reflects how I feel on the inside. I can even take up running again! I recommend Dr. Champaneria and his staff to anyone who wants a breast reduction. He More

I can not speak more highly of Dr. Champeneria. He is an exceptional plastic surgeon who is extremely talented at his skills. In addition, he has a way of connecting with his patients and making them feel at ease with their medical journey. I first met Dr. Champeneria five days before my preventive mastectomy. Due to some unforeseen circumstances of having to change doctors last minute, he guided me with medical knowledge and kindness in order to make informed decisions of what choices I had and what was best for me. His post operative care (including his nurses and office staff) are outstanding. He takes the time to educate you about your health and make you feel at ease. His team showed tremendous care for my physical and emotional well being through the mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. When I decided to move forward with an elective abdominoplasty, I of course went to see Dr. Champeneria to complete the procedure. Once again he educated me on the procedure, recovery and results prior to the surgery. The day of the surgery he continued to make me feel at ease and guided me through my recovery with full success. Of course I am thrilled with the results! I can not speak more highly of Dr. Champeneria and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for either preventative or elective plastic surgery. More

Dr. Champaneria is a one of a kind doctor. The first three things that come to mind are detailed, compassionate & intelligent. Dr. Champaneria preformed a breast reduction on me back in January and it has changed my life. I had never undergone any sort of surgery & he made me feel at peace & in good hands. His surgery has allowed me to feel more confident & beautiful in my own skin. My breasts look amazing & I am so proud that I was able to be one of his patients. Anyone who gets the chance to work with Dr. Champaneria will not regret it. I am so grateful for my experience, thank you doctor! More

I feel very lucky that I was referred to Dr. Champaneria. I was leaning toward having a lumpectomy/radiation after finding I had DCIS on my left breast. At a first consultation, he spent 45 minutes explaining every detail and answered all questions/concerns I had. By the time I left the hospital, I decided to have a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Dr. Champ and his staff are very personable. At every appointment and at the surgery, he spent time and talked to me making sure I felt comfortable. Going through a cancer diagnosis is a heart wrenching and stressful process, but Dr. Champ made me look forward to a new life again and I feel confident with my new breast. More

I feel so lucky that I was referred to Dr. Champaneria for my breast reconstruction after undergoing preventive mastectomy. At my first consultation, I immediately felt comfort/trust with him and he took plenty of time to give information and to ensure all my own questions/preferences were addressed. All appointments have been this way, never feeling rushed. He is kind, patient, and thorough in each visit. Deciding to have preventive mastectomy was tough, but knowing I had a skillful plastic surgeon certainly helped me to feel more comfortable with my decision. Before the final reconstruction surgery, I had made peace with the fact that I would probably always have slightly disfigured breasts. Dr. Champaneria proved me wrong, as the results I have are so much better than I could have EVER imagined. I feel fully restored. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Champaneria. In addition to how wonderful he is, his staff are equally attentive and appointments were always on time. More

I am incredibly pleased with my experience with Dr. Champaneria through my treatment for breast cancer. Dr. Champaneria is thoughtful and patient; He took the time to explain all of the options for breast reconstruction to me and my family and even went out of his way to call me when I asked him a few specific questions over email. I especially appreciate that he treated me as an individual, and he considered my situation and lifestyle when recommending the best options for me. His entire team is kind and professional, including the administrative team, nurses, and assistants. I actually looked forward to my appointments at his office, despite the fact I was dealing with breast cancer. I finished my treatment a few months ago, and not only am I healthy and cancer-free, but I am very happy with the results of my reconstruction. I actually look better now that I did before my treatment! More

Dr. Champaneria is an amazing surgeon. He makes dreams come true. I had quite a few procedures I wanted done and he was able to do all of them in one surgery safely and beautifully. My scars are fading fast and I’m only about 2 months post op!! I had a breast reduction/ lift and I can’t believe how perfect they look now! I also had a BBL and my curves are everything I hoped for. Pain after surgery was very little, he answered and continues to answer any and all questions I have. Also, if I decide to get any future surgery I think I’d prefer to fly out and get the work done by him (since he is relocating) because I know it would be done right!! I’m so grateful for the wonderful work he’s done and obviously love my new look! 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

I could not speak more highly of my experience with Dr. Champaneria. I had been to several breast reduction consultations in the Portland/Vancouver area, and not one of them compares. He was so professional and personable every time I met with him. His staff worked around my schedule for making appointments, and were always so welcoming every time I came into the office. Dr. Champaneria went above and beyond to make me feel 110% confident in the process, and I would do it 100 times over again! I couldn't be happier with the results! More

There are not enough stars in the world, in my opinion, to rate Dr. Champaneria's talent as a skilled plastic surgeon. Not only was he able to save my bellybutton (which he up-front warned me that he may not be able to do) during my surgery for post gastric bypass surgery's for extra skin removal. He left me feeling as if I was the most important patient that he has ever had. In speaking with other patients, they too confirm that his bedside manner was far and above their expectations as well. He is simply warm, funny, compassionate, an excellent listener, and a superb surgeon. I will definitely be going back to him when I do my breast augmentation. Thank you Dr. Champaneria, you are the best! More

Dr. Champaneria was absolutely amazing. I truly am grateful for everything he has done for me and help me through all all my ups and downs during my health issues. His staff was just as wonderful and very helpful. I couldn't have been under better care.. The results of my procedures are truly amazing and I couldn't be happier.

After 15 years of dealing with back and neck strain, headaches and difficulty fitting in clothes, running and exercising, I finally scheduled a consultation to see about breast reduction surgery. Prior to having my two kids I was a 36C which fit my body nicely. I had recently worked to lose 20lbs. to see if this would bring me closer to my original size, but my breasts remained a 38-40DD. After my reduction, my breasts are back to a C cup, higher and much lighter. The change has been life-altering and I couldn't be more pleased. I am six months post-surgery now and healed up very nicely. I would definitely do this again and only wish I hadn't waited so long.From my consultation to the follow up, this entire experience exceeded my expectations in every way.  His attention to detail, understanding of what I was looking for and his sensitivity to my feelings made me wish I had done this years ago!  He not only gave me a reduction, but re-shaped and lifted my breasts so that the overall result was exactly what I had wanted!  His clinic and staff were warm and professional and they took care of all of the insurance billings and let me know ahead of time exactly what I would be responsible to cover.  His follow up care since my surgery six months ago has been the most thorough and caring I could imagine as he is truly committed to the entire healing process and the best results.

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

Diep Flap Breast Reonstruction and My New Amazing Belly Boob! - Vancouver, WA - Diep Flap Breast Reconstruction and My Amazing New Belly-Boob! 54 years oldInvasive Ductal CarcinomaMastectomy, right breast 4/2/2015Lymphectomy 4/22/2015DIEP-flap Surgery 2/4/216My wonderful Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Mannish Champaneria went over all of my options for reconstruction, and I decided to have the DIEP-flap. I had a nice, ample, lower belly roll that would make a great boob and it would be all me, would be warm, and would age with my body Dr. Champaneria had not glossed over the fact that it was a long and complicated surgery, and it would take a while to totally recover.I would need another surgery to lift the left breast to match the new one, and they would also do liposuction on my stomach. After that, there would be a small surgery to build the areola and nipple. Still, this seemed to be an incredible way to replace my breast. And I had all the confidence in the world in Dr. Champaneria.It was 10 months after my mastectomy when I had the DIEP-flap surgery. I checked in PeaceHealth Hospital on Feb. 3, 2016. Dr. Champaneria came in the pre-op and went over everything again. He is so professional, and seems to want to get his patients the best results he can. He also wants to make sure they know what to expect. I totally trusted him. I also met Grace, his serene and capable assistant. I knew I was in good hands.I was in surgery for 10 hours. I woke up in what would be my room for the next three days. I looked down and had two breasts again! It was me again! I think I cried a little. I had not mourned the loss of my breast to mastectomy - it wanted to kill me and it had to go. But I will admit, that looking in the mirror for those 10 months was hard. The scar looked so harsh and ugly next to the one breast I had left. I tried to not think about it. But when I woke up after surgery, looked down and saw I had two breasts again it kinda hit me. I guess I hadn’t realized just how much looking at that slash in my chest had demoralized me.The pain pump kept me very comfortable, and the nurses on the Eighth floor were fabulous. I had a monitor on the belly boob, to make sure the blood was flowing. It would make that noise for three days. I began to actually like the sound - it meant my new boob was happy and healthy!I’m now seven weeks from the surgery, and have lost 10 pounds and had to buy a 4” shorter belt. I’ll be having my revision surgery on May 4. Dr. Champaneria will lift my left breast to match the new, perker one, and also do liposuction on my mid-section.Dr. Chamaneria and his staff have been stellar. I could not have found a more caring, talented, and charming plastic surgeon. I could not be happier.I can’t wait to see what I will look like after this next one. Dr. Champaneria did such an amazing job with the first surgery, I know he is going to make me look fabulous!I’ll keep you posted! More

26 Y/o Breasts Reduced from 38e to 38c - Vancouver, WA - I had a breast reduction done and went from an E cup to a C cup. I have never been happier. I have been very blessed with having such a caring and amazing Doctor. Dr Champaneria is honestly a "Champ" and I have had the best experience whenever meeting with him. I am very impressed with the work he has done and am amazed with how they turned out. He is very genuine and really cares about your wants/ needs/ questions/ concerns and really everything. He even remembered me telling him about a pet of mine at the first appointment, and every appointment after that he would ask about my pet. That just shows how caring and amazing he is. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a breast reduction. I also have recommended him and gave out his business card since my surgery. Thank you very much for changing my life Dr Champaneria! Your an amazing person and Dr! More

I Thought I Would Settle for Prosthesis! - Vancouver, WA - I'm 56 yrs. old when my doctor started my breast reconstruction, it takes a year to do the process, so now I'm 57 and the results is amazingly fabulous, excellent job compared at the beginning when I had no left breast. What an excellent job is Doctor Champaneria has done to myself. I feel great without no more hesitation to show off the result and I don't have to wear on & off with the prostheses I had in the beginning besides I get tired of wearing and it is not the same what I got now the implant. I can't describe enough how grateful I am and the decision I made to have it done I feel a real "ME"!! To look at my breast now it's like an art what a picture to have this done with an excellent and a perfectionist doing the job that he loves to do, that's what I loved about my doctor if I just have more money I would definitely go back to have more done with myself. But breast reconstruction is a big job and what a worthwhile having this long process and see the excellent results. I'm definitely 110 percent recommend my doctor. He is the BEST, young, very intelligent with awesome personality as well.... the perfect 10 score!!! More

Absolutely Amazing Surgeon!!!! Vancouver, WA - Dr. Champaneria was an absolutely amazing surgeon who answered all my questions and put all my worries of getting a breast reduction at eighteen at ease. He took the time to go over everything that needed to be discussed and worked with me throughout the entire experience. The surgery was completely perfect, my main concern was of how the scarring would look once it was done, and let me tell you, that was not at all a problem thanks to his skills. He and all his staff were extremely kind and helpful, from intake to post op and beyond. I highly recommend his services, I promiseyou will not be disappointed. More

Super!! Super!! Surgeon - Vancouver, WA - After having a mastectomy I decided I wanted to continue my life looking like and feeling like a woman. I did not want a flat chest. I was fortunate enough to have insurance that covered all charges. My cancer doctor highly recommended Dr. Champaneria and after talking to him about procedures, pros and cons I decided to go with breast reconstruction. The surgeries and healing went well and I am very happy with the results. Pain was minimal, healing occurred quickly. The pros --I have breasts that look great and the only con was the drain tubes which caused discomfort. More

37 Year Old, Kids Can Be Murder on the Body...Vancouver, WA - Large breasts run in my family. It seems that they get larger after you have children. I am about 5' 1" and had a DDD breast size. I had constant back and neck pain and was uncomfortable most of the time. My clothes never fit well and exercising was difficult. I decided to look into breast reduction and the only regret I have, is that I didn't do this procedure sooner in my life. I am now a comfortable C cup and have never felt better. More

28 Year Old Liquid Silicone Implants Removed - Vancouver, WA - After 28 years, my liquid silicone breast implants needed to come out. They were asymmetrical, with one nipple pointing up and one nipple pointing down. A recent mammogram indicated that both had ruptured. There was also extensive calcified encapsulation of both implants, and I was in a fair amount of constant pain. The implants were originally inserted through an incision in my armpits, and placed on top of the chest muscle. At that time I was told that they would last my lifetime. Now, everyone knows that is not true. I am 59 years old, and have made the decision to embrace my natural look, whatever it turns out to be. Well, my natural look turns out to be pretty good. My breasts are not full, but at least my nipples are pointing the same direction – and it's not straight down! When I wear a push-up bra (36C), I even have cleavage. I give all the credit to Dr. Champaneria. The surgery was challenging and took all of three hours to perform. The doctor had to literally chisel out the scar tissue. This could have led to a lot of disfigurement, but due to the doctor's skill, it didn't. I have normal looking breasts now, and I am very happy and out of pain. And I no longer have to feel embarrassed when naked. More

36 Yrs Old, 4 Children, Small Sagging Breasts - Vancouver, WA - After having 4 children my boobs left little to be desired after having the life sucked out of them lol. I decided that it was finally time for me to love the way I looked again and that is where miracle worker Dr. Manish Champaneria stepped in! I wanted to go over the muscle with saline implants...Dr. C took the time to explain in detail all the reasons that I should go with silicone and not saline. I was a 32B and I wanted to be a D...he explained that since I am such a petite build with very little breast tissue to cover the implant going over the muscle, that the saline would look a like a disaster of sorts on my frame and that he, as well as I, would not enjoy the end result. I am sooo glad that I took his advice because let me tell you I AM IN LOVE with them! He has a great sense of humor and comforting bedside manner...I can't seem to say "thank you" enough times! :) More

My Breast Reconstruction Story - Vancouver, WA - I really didn't think it would effect me all that much to lose a breast from breast cancer. I thought about how fortunate I truly was to be alive and to have survived stage 3 breast cancer. But, I found myself looking in the mirror at my body that looked so different after the chemotherapy, radiation and a unilateral mastectomy. I had gained weight due to side effects of steroids used as part of my treatment, lost my hair and I stood there looking at one breast and on the other side, I had a "chest wall". I felt guilty as I cried. I felt so unattractive. I felt that I shouldn't be so selfish, so vain. I dried my eyes, put a smile on my face and hid my disfigured body the best I could. I was happy to be alive. I decided to pursue breast reconstruction with Dr. Manish Champaneria. This was a life changing experience as well. Dr. Champaneria preformed the Diep Flap procedure of reconstruction on me. I highly recommend this procedure with utilizes the fatty tissue and skin from the abdominal area to create a new, natural feeling breast. So, basically, I got a tummy tuck and a new breast! Dr. Champaneria did a wonderful job! He is a true artist at what he does! Not only do I feel whole again physically, the depression I was feeling has lifted and I feel that I can move forward into a bright, hopeful future. Dr. Champaneria really cares about his patients and it shows. He spends quality time with each patient. He's easy to talk to and he made me feel that my case was not only important to me, but to him as well! I highly recommend Dr. Champaneria. More
