I debated writing this review, but I hope it will be helpful for anyone considering Dr. Stompro for breast augmentation or any other surgery. Its been over a year since my breast augmentation and I think I could have achieved better results from a different surgeon. I'm in the process of looking for a new surgeon to revise his surgery and hopefully get to the results I initially asked for. It is not horrible work, but it could have been better and the healing process was a nightmare. Let me jump to the beginning of how I picked him. When I met with him it was a great consult and he was thoughtful and heard me out on my wants and needs and concerns. The prep process prior to surgery was thorough and well done. Surgery also went really well and no complications. He even called that first night to make sure I was doing well and I appreciated that very much. However, that first week post-surgery I was having pain and needed an adjustment in pain medicine, but his main assistant treated me like I was a drug seeking addict and scoffed at me over the phone and even laughed at me for requesting a different form of pain medicine. She was very rude every time I called and I had to request to speak to a different office assistant so that I could demand Dr. Stompro call me instead of pushing my concerns getting pushed off. I finally heard back from him and received muscle relaxers which made the recovery process more tolerable. The other issue I had was each post op visit I was seen by his nurses and never Dr. Stompro. I would try to rearrange my schedule to meet with him only to be told that he needed to reschedule me again because he couldn't meet in person. Its been over a year and I still haven't seen him for any of my follow-ups. I've also had excruciating scarring that he and his office nurses just advised to massage it. This did nothing and I still have nodules and deep pigmented scarring with no help from his office on how to reduce the pain sensation that comes and goes or help the appearance of the scars. So ultimately, he seems like a wonderful man in-person and an attentive surgeon in the beginning, but beware his first assistant who is extremely unprofessional, condescending, and judgmental and be ready to never see Dr. Stompro post surgery and only his nurses. All concerns will be brushed aside and you might not be the most pleased with your results. Highly recommend another office if seeking cosmetic surgical interventions.
