Chapin Aesthetics

when i came to doctor to speak about my first botox injection that i was on the boarderline to do or not to do. he looked at me and said: «nope. come back in couple years. We can start doing it now but you probably want to wait.».
well it’s been two years and im going back to get it done :)

My friend and I had consultation today for some plastic surgery procedures.
First impression of office was very nice, front desk staff were very friendly.
They were running on time which is always appreciated.
His clinical coordinator Kate was very pleasant, she answered all of our questions, explained the procedures and stayed during the examination which I thought was good.
Dr. Chaplin was very professional without being cold. Answered any remaining questions we had and left a very good impression on both of us.
I had another consultation with a different plastic surgeon later in the day but they messed up the appointment time (long story-​different review) but it didn’t matter because after my consultation with Dr. Chapin I have decided to have my procedures done with him (my friend will do too!).
I will review his work once I get my surgery done, but I feel good about him and his staff/​office and that is the first step on choosing a plastic surgeon (or any other doctor).
First impressions count and they did an excellent job leaving one on us!

It took alot to make a appointment and follow thru. I was coming to talk about lipo and a tummy tuck. Feeling nervous and scared I was asked to put a gown on and I stood in front of the doctor and nurse which is very embarrassing especially when your not comfortable with your body. A body you always «hide». But I know that this is his profession and sees body figures all the time but personally it was hard for me to «let it all out».
Well… I was told that I had to loose weight first ?! I was so embarrassed and felt so upset. Clearly I’m over weight which is why I’m looking to get a tummy tuck and lipo.
I was told to go to the gym and loose some weight first. I was mortified! Clearly I know I’m over weight if I could loose the weight at the gym I wouldn’t of been standing in a gown and underwear in front of a dr looking for help! I was so upset. I got dressed and left. I was so embarrassed and I couldn’t wait to get out of that building. The moment I got in my car I busted into tears and cried and cried…
I know he does great work and when I told my friends who have gotten work done by him they said yes he has told so-​n-​so the same thing to loose weight first.
I just feel that I came there for help and to be told that just crushed me…
I’m sure he had his reasons and explanation for saying that… However to tell someone who is standing there who knows they are over weight… It’s just not helpful to their self esteem especially if they are at that last option to get lipo or a tummy tuck…

This place sets the standard for customer service. It was the friendliest office that I have ever set foot in with a staff that is knowledgable and talented. I went for a glycolic face peel with Lisa, and she provided me with a wealth of information about my skin and how to treat it properly. She never tried to push the sale of any products on me though, which was a nice change from other spas that I have visited. Additionally, I went with a Groupon (which can sometimes cause a place to treat you second-​rate citizen) and the staff was just as kind and accommodating. I will be going back for all of my skin care needs and this is a great place to try, if you have never been.

I went to see Dr Chapin as a second opinion on my tummy tuck and liposuction procedures. Dori, his consultant even offered to help try to have one of the procedures covered by insurance (skin condition) which I found surprising and encouraging. By the way, insurance ended up not covering a breast redux but we tried. The fact that they would assist in that made a huge impression.
On to the first visit. Dr Chapin has a personality that suits cosmetic surgery. He’s pleasant, friendly but very professional. All business when it comes to procedures and I like that. When I told him I wanted to be able to have a nice repoir with my surgeon he shook my hand and said, «Well, it was nice meeting you.» and he walked out. I was stunned but then he turned around and said. just kidding… Let’s find out what you want and we’ll show you some photos of what we can do here. Back to business after the brief levity. See what I mean? I don’t want to be on a Christmas card list but I want to feel secure in whom I’ve chosen to make my body the way I imagine it can be. He was able to put me at ease, assure me he wanted me to be happy with his work and that he would do whatever he could to make that happen. Without even getting the pricing for the procedures, I had decided Dr Chapin would be my surgeon. First visit. A+
Got the pricing and it was more than $ 4000 cheaper than the first surgeon in Jenkintown. Now here’s the thing… the Jenkintown surgeon is closer and operates out of Abington Hospital but Dr Chapin is over a half hour away and ops out of Doylestown. so should I go so far away when AMH is 5 minutes from my home??? The answer ABSOLUTELY!!! He’s worth it!
Each time I spoke with the staff or Dr Chapin, I was made to feel as I was a valued patient.
At the next visit, we had the time and date set for my surgery at Doylestown Hospital, got all my pre-​op testing done prior to the surgery date and had all the financing in place. Dori explained how each place would ask for payment and when. Between the hospital and Chapin Aesthetic Center, it was SMOOOOOOOTH. Second visit. A +
Here’s a hint: don’t use «care credit». they have issues and you don’t want to get into their problems. I got a zero interest credit card for the amount of the surgery and have 9 months to pay it off without interest. By the time I have to start paying interest the balance will be so low that it won’t matter.
Surgery day, Superbowl Monday 2011. Doylestown Hospital took excellent care of my husband and me, walking us thru the procedures that Dr. C would expect. Got measured and weighed for the surgery then he came in chatted with us and marked my areas to be made beautiful. I like to say that cause it’s how I feel now. I was in good spirits and really anticipating the outcome. Not nervous at all. They took extremely good care of me at DH. Everyone was beyond expectations.
It helped that I had done months of prep, research on before and after photos, watched youtube videos of Becky and her surgery. check her out because she was/​is an amazing woman who documented her entire surgery and recovery for a year. That was inordinately helpful in keeping my worries or expectations where they needed to be. Be prepared! Look at photos, learn what to expect and check out
for a whole host of answers to questions you WILL HAVE. It prepared me extremely well. DR. C and his staff were amazed at my calmness and prep, I think. It will keep you in a positive state if you do.
After surgery, great follow up from the office and DH. They make phone calls to keep in touch with you. Lori and Kate took great care of my stitches at each visit. They were caring, pleasant and professional. Thnx ladies.
2 Weeks after surgery I had a hematoma develop that no one could have anticipated. He opened up the area about an inch, taught me how to pack it but we ended up having to go back to surgery after a week of it not getting much better. So at week 3, I went back in to have the area cleaned out, a drain put back in (ugh! but necessary :) and stitched back up. It was the prudent course of action and I understood that. No one WANTS to go back to surgery but it was going to make it all better so I put on my big girl panties and did what I had to do.
So I had post op visits at day 4, 1 week, 1 month and 2 months. At the 2 month mark we did post op comparative photos… WOW! Now at 8 weeks and discharged from his service, I LOVE MY BODY!!! Seriously so very happy and amazed at what he was able to do. Scott Chapin is worth every penny you’ll pay him and he is so happy to see his patients walk out of his office feeling that way too. He’s genuine, professional, reasonable in price and has a great work ethic.
I think you’ll be so pleased with your results if you give him the opportunity. But go in prepared with honest expectations and reasonable goals, information. It will make your life so much better for having put in that time to research it.

Beautifully decorated. Talented and friendly staff. Top of the line products. Not only did I leave with an amazing new haircut and color, I also set up an appointment to have Botox with Nicole! One stop beauty shopping here!

During my initial consult, I loved the little nurse that came to set me up, She was so very kind and polite! She then gave me a lesson on what products could be used and pricing, there was NEVER any pressure to purchase products. She is amazing. She is attentive, informative, warm, professional and very thorough.
Now here comes my doctor I like him, he is friendly enough. He did make a comment that pissed me off. I was there to have restylane injected in my lips, I didn’t mention any movie stars or bring ANY pictures I just told him I want them bigger! And FAST! He understands but than says, «you know your not going to walk out of here looking like Angelina jolie»…Ummm OK?! I know he has to tell clients this so they don’t have false expectations, but I don’t think I «APPEAR» to be unstable and who even said ANYTHING about Angelina??? So he makes what is understandably a mildly uncomfortable experience as painless as it can be. Here is where my little nurse lady comes in again! As Im not a very touchy feely person, she rubs my arm and says your doing fine. AWWWWW, now at the time I didn’t know i appreiciated this gusture, but thinking back what a sweatie! I have never had bruising, when he’s done — he’s THAT good. I could not be happier with both his style of work and the subsequent results.
As I sat there post-​procedure icing my face a bit, I perused the binders of before and after photos. WOW! I’ve never had Restylane or Botox or Titan or any of the other services he offers, he’ll be my go-​to man.
Also, you could not ASK for a more beautiful setting. Instead of scrambling to find parking near some soulless medical office or high-​rise, you get to park right in front and visit her in a darling Presidio cottage. That’s half the fun!
A few people commented on the higher-​than-​average prices; I never did comparison shop because if London says it’s the way to go, her word is final. As I understand it, most of those $ 99 per session places have one laser. Now, reading my reviews, you will see that I am a budget-​conscious girl — I just do not get this pay-​$ 60-​for-​a-​mani-​pedi– but when it comes to your FACE, do you really want to be a cheapskate? Um. No. Save the thriftiness for your nails, or groceries, or whatever else, but your FACE deserves the best care your dollars can buy. I will eat RAMEN to have Dr. Chapin do the work I need rather than go to a bargain basement clinic where a non-​MD is doing the work. ~Shiver~
HIGHLY recommended!
