36yr Old Mom of 2 Kids – & a “Bumpa”…
Mood: great . Loving my new body and enjoying putting on my clothes and figuring out new outfits ones that don’t include Bumpa .. But my body so I can finally express my true self. First left side drain doc removed on my 6 week visit .. It was fast and easy and didn’t hurt one bit.. She had me take deep breaths in and out and poof it was out.. During that time she had to reinforce my right drain I called it the gutter drain .. My body was kicking it out and so she had to stitch it.. It didn’t hurt skin is numb around incision area she was kind just in case she numbed a little just a pinch like a small piercing was felt. My right drain the following Wednesday lost suction .. I saw doc and she said that it has come out to much and decided to remove it and any fluid she will remove with a needle that Friday.. Well thank God no need my body reabsored and drain holes are now completely healed they took about 2 days to close on there own ( just as doc said they would) I’m still wearing the support bandage just in case ., I feel more comfortable wearing it. I’m seeing doc this Friday .. I wil ask if ok not to wear it .. I have put some pictures of me before my drains come out .. I will post more recent pics soon

I had known for a long time that I wanted to get a breast reduction/lift, but I’m not sure I would have done it if I hadn’t met Dr. Capla. For me this surgery wasn’t about having “the perfect breasts,” it was about having the perfect breasts for me — results that fit my body and my conception of myself. Dr. Capla was the only one of several surgeons I visited who truly understood this and who wouldn’t have it any other way. She understood that this surgery, that any surgery like this, is truly an emotional and physical journey.

In the weeks leading up to my surgery and in the months after, Dr. Capla was so kind, attentive and available. She met with me, spoke with me, and texted with me whenever I had concerns and I have been extremely thankful for that. Six months after my surgery, even the day after my surgery, I was blown away by the results and by Dr. Capla’s exceptional skill and attention to detail. I could not have asked for or imagined better — she is an artist. I wake up every day so glad that I had this surgery and so glad that I found Dr. Capla. I could not recommend her more highly.

The lipoma was uncomfortable and interfered with my clothing. Dr. Capla and her team were excellent. I did not feel any pain during surgery, and it healed beautifully. The best part is that I received clear information about the procedure. Dr. Capla personally followed up with me after the procedure, and it was comfortable from beginning to end.

I had a breast reduction and lift with Dr. Capla a few months ago. It was by far the best thing I ever did. The procedure went exactly as she stated and I have never been happier with the results. I had to travel over 2 hours each time to see her but it was well worth the effort. She required a few pre-op appointments and regularly met with me post-op to make sure healing was happening correctly. At one time I was unable to get into the city for a post appointment so she allowed me to send her pictures via email and she got back to me immediately.

I knew that I was slim and in shape from years of running and working out, but I still wanted the tummy tuck to get rid of the excess skin from 2 twin and one singleton pregnancies. Plus, I had had breast implants in 2003 that I always felt were too big for me personally, so we removed them and inserted the smallest size possible while giving me a lift. I felt like I got my old body back and a flatter tummy than I was ever able to achieve through working out and dieting.

Prior to my surgery, I had consulted with several physicians after extensive research to find the right person to perform my procedure(s). My main concern was that the surgeon would understand my view on what I desired as an outcome. I have worked in the healthcare field for many years and I knew within the first five minutes of the consultation that I had found my surgeon. Dr. Capla took the time to listen to my view and my concerns. She was able to tell me the possibilities. The exchange was personal yet professional. The outcome exceeds my expectations. Dr. Capla is that rare individual who meets all your expectations on competency, personality and compassion.

The ankles is a notoriously hard area. The recovery can be long and painful. I felt Dr Capla managed my expectations in terms of pain very well. She has an excellent bedside manner as well. The recovery was actually much less painful than I’d imagined. It is however very important to follow doctors orders and elevate the feet and wear the garment or there will be swelling. I am thrilled with the results of the surgery. I think the results have made an enormous difference in the overall look of my legs! I really love the look of my ankles! It had been an area I was very self conscious of and now I feel confident in skirts and shorts.

I’d been considering this procedure for years, and only after meeting Dr. Capla and her excellent staff, did I feel fully confident in going forward with it. I’m so glad I did – my results exceeded my expectations and the scarring is minimal. It’s made a huge difference in my life – having smaller breasts makes me look thinner, and I’m able to be more active in the sports I love. I will be returning for another procedure later this year, especially because I have so much confidence in Dr. Capla and the results. I recommend Dr. Capla 100%!

Hi! My name is Francelina and I was a contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser Season 14. After losing over 170 lbs I was in great desperation. I struggled with painful excess skin after massive weight loss. It was a really difficult situation because of how taboo talking about excess skin was after being on a show like the one I was on. Most people assumed that life after so much weight loss was a smooth transition without consequences. Unfortunately, this is not accurate. It was a difficult time and it took a lot of courage to speak out about it. I felt deformed, defeated, insecure, and often wondered if losing the weight was “worth it.” Luckily I had many amazing people supporting me and who kept reminding me that it was in fact worth it and that there were ways to address the skin. After all,I had the most important thing back–my health! I later came across Dr. Jennifer Capla(based in New York) who selflessly donated her time to me to improve the quality of my life. She is UNBELIEVABLE! I feel blessed to know her and has been more than just a doctor. I consider her a friend and family. There are no words to describe what she has given me back! It’s been 6 months since my first excess skin removal surgery. I can’t tell you how much it has changed the quality of my life. Not only physically.. (Goodbye rashes and cuts) BUT emotionally— Not to mention I already started to lose more weight! Some of the reasons include; increased mobility ( getting the skin removed has given me more flexibility when it comes to workouts and now I can do things I could not because of all the “extra” I was carrying around) also emotionally, I feel so much more confidence and just vigor to keep transforming my body since now I can physically see changes. I strongly recommend Dr. Jennifer Capla. I have never met anyone like her in my entire life. I will attach pictures so you can see her work BUT I wish I could show you what she has done for me on the inside as well. If you have lost a lot of weight, do not give up! There are ways to address the skin and keep moving forward with your life with much more vigor, passion, and determination. Never give up! Dreams do come true! Mine did.

I worked 5 years to lose 175 pounds through diet and exercise. My whole life changed, but not exactly how I thought it would. I opted for surgery to remove excess skin. I had a tummy tuck, penniculectomy, arm lift and lipo on my thighs. The results are truly life-changing and I don’t regret my choice.

I had big, sloppy, saggy 14 year saline implants I got when I was only 18. I no longer wanted to be a 34DD and I wanted them lifted. I choose Dr. Capla because she specializes in reconstruction and I knew my breasts needed a very complicated lift and closure of the capsulation from my old implants. My original breast incision was under my nipple and it healed really well. Dr. Capla offered the lollipop incision for my breast lift which is a little better than an anchor.
