For Physicians

I am a board certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Denver, Colorado. I have over 25 years of experience, with my main focus being on cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. I no longer perform facial procedures, as my passion is truly centered on all areas below the neck, blending artistry and surgical principles.

Over the last year I have decided to share my knowledge and surgical expertise with other cosmetic surgeons. This decision was simplified by having our own accredited surgery center, making it a lot easier to conduct hands-on training. This includes our trademarked lipoabdominoplasty procedure, the C.L.A.S.S. tummy tuck™ technique, which I have been performing since 2008, thus dropping the traditional abdominoplasty technique which I believe falls well short of superior outcomes and patient satisfaction.

I fully anticipate an upcoming demand explosion for all cosmetic procedures of the body, mostly related to the “Ozempic” interest and other weight loss medications/programs. I have been operating on massive weight loss patients for many years and thus feel very comfortable in teaching all procedures, including:

• Mastopexy (with/without autoaugmentation of the breasts)
• Breast Reduction
• Breast Augmentation
• Arm Lifts
• Thigh Lifts and Body Lifts (with/without autoaugmentation of the buttocks)
• Liposuction

Apart from demonstrating my techniques and surgical approach in our private surgery center, we also offer the opportunity for me to deliver direct supervision and instruction at your own facility, once you have participated in our training program, which can be quite important if you don’t have much experience in some of these procedures.

As part of our complete training program, we also offer full practice evaluation by my office administrator, Erin Casey, who has over 20 years of experience in charge of a successful plastic surgery practice. She would be exceptionally adept at improving your bottom line, whether you have been in practice for many years or are just starting out.

Several options are available for your Complete Cosmetic Surgery Training experience:

BRONZE LEVEL: Single day course, including surgical procedure(s), discussion/teaching, and dinner with Dr. Campanile.

SILVER LEVEL: 2-day course, including surgical procedure(s), discussion/teaching, and dinner(s) with Dr. Campanile.

GOLD LEVEL: 3-Day course, including surgical procedure(s), discussion/teaching, and dinner(s) with Dr. Campanile.

PLATINUM LEVEL: 10-Day course, including surgical procedure(s), discussion/teaching, and dinner(s) with Dr. Campanile. This can be stretched out over a 12-month interval.

DIAMOND LEVEL: 20-Day course, including surgical procedure(s), discussion/teaching, and dinner(s) with Dr. Campanile. This can be stretched out over a 24-month interval.

Additional options include:

1. Full evaluation of your practice by Erin Casey, office administrator of Campanile Plastic Surgery, with extensive recommendations to improve your bottom line.
2. On-site training and supervision by Dr. Campanile at your own practice facility/surgery center, after completion of one of our training sessions.

Dr. Campanile and his practice have been wonderful in training Dr. Abando and I on abdominoplasties and brachioplasties. As a bariatric surgeon in Austin, Texas I have a lot of patients experiencing loose skin. My patients have been wanting me to offer them abdominoplasties and brachioplasties for years, but I just didn’t know how to properly get trained to do it. As someone who trained with plastic surgeons in general surgery residency, I highly value the techniques that plastic surgery training provides. Unfortunately, after 17 years in private practice it was not possible for me to do a full plastic surgery fellowship, but I did want to learn an excellent technique for my patients with good cosmetic outcomes. I specifically wanted to provide two procedures that could help most of my weight loss surgery patients – loose skin of arms and the abdomen. Doing so could help them feel better about themselves in their new healthier bodies.

In searching for a teacher to learn abdominoplasties I found Dr. Campanile’s website, saw his outcomes and was very impressed. To think I could train under someone with such great outcomes and reputation was unthinkable. When I spoke to him on the phone, he expressed to me that as a surgeon looking to get into this field, he felt it was his duty to make sure that those surgeons learned the proper technique instead of getting subpar training. From the first conversation over the phone, it felt like we were a good fit. He demonstrated such compassion for his patients just as Dr. Abando and I do for ours. I knew if we learned from anyone it would be someone who has the skills, outcomes, and compassion that Dr. Campanile has.

Going out to his training course in Colorado and watching him operate and assisting him during surgery at his surgery center gave Dr. Abando and I the hands-on opportunity to see how a patient should be assessed at consultation and preop and how this translates into the operating room. His whole staff were amazing to work with. I’m so glad to have chosen Dr. Campanile as a proctor and mentor to guide us on the proper plastic surgery techniques. The experience has been invaluable.
