Reviews for San Diego, CA Plastic Surgeon Dr. Manish Champaneria Breast Reduction Procedures

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

I had been dreaming of getting a breast reduction done for years, I am so glad I chose Dr. Champaneria as my surgeon. Him and his team are great and quick to help if you need anything. I would definitely recommend him to a friend or family member. 10/10!! 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 just had my surgery with this amazing doctor. my breast look amazing! my lining is so thin and everything about this doctor is just beyond 5 stars, the compassion and love for his work truly shows. i will always recommend him to who every wants a breast reduction. More

I chose Dr. Champaneria for a breast reduction because I’d heard and read that he’s an excellent surgeon. And, it’s true, he is. He is caring and does meticulous work. I’m extremely pleased with the results and am so happy that I decided to have a reduction. I have lost weight, have significantly more energy and am looking forward to restarting an exercise routine soon. 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

I would recommend Dr. Champaneria to anyone who is looking into getting a breast reduction! I had upper back/neck/shoulder pains from my uncomfortable chest for years.

I am so much happier now after the surgery and any questions or concerns I had during the healing process I felt I could comfortably share with him. 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

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.

Dr Champaneria is one of the best doctor's I've ever had the pleasure of going to. I had a breast reduction March 2016 and it's one of the beast decision's I've ever made. He really listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond to give me just that. If I ever need any plastic Surgery services of any kind I will definitely be going back to see him for it. I completely trust him and that's saying a lot for me! If you're thinking about going in for anything I would go see him. I can almost gerantee that you'll love him! More

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.

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.
