Specialists in Plastic Surgery of Pittsburgh

"I am exactly 2 years post op today from rhinoplasty with Dr. Raymond Capone and I’m leaving another review as 2 years is the amount of time Dr. Capone assured me my nose would be fully healed before I could judge my results. My results are no different than they were a few weeks after surgery when I raised my concerns. Dr. Capone has no idea what he is doing and should never be allowed to perform rhinoplasty. I've spoken to some of his past rhinoplasty patients who feel the exact same way, but were hesitant to reach out due to how he treated them and how uncomfortable he made them feel. I’ve been through hell the last 2 years because he completely ruined my nose functionally as well as aesthetically. My nostrils have collapsed, my septum and columella are now twisted and I can no longer breathe through my nose without it completely closing. I can no longer exercise (a huge part of my life) and my sleep is non existent as I can only breathe through my mouth now at night. Due to the mouth breathing, I now have developed cavities that my dentist said is directly caused by my nasal collapse as the mouth breathing causes dry mouth and in turn cavities (never had cavities prior!). I consulted with one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons in the country, Dr. Guyuron, and he couldn't believe the amount of issues Dr. Capone caused due to his outdated surgical technique and carelessness. I now have to have a revision with grafting to fix Dr. Capone's mistakes and this will cost me over $20,000. Dr. Capone refuses to reach out to make this right and refuses to take any accountability for his actions. I wish I could post photos to show how incredibly awful his work is. When you make a mistake, especially when it comes to someone’s body and you are a physician entrusted by that patient, you do everything you can to right that mistake. Dr. Capone did nothing to make this right and instead preached about how great of a surgeon he is and that he did nothing wrong. Please choose any other surgeon."

"If I could give 0 stars I would. Please reconsider before seeing Dr. Raymond Capone. He has no business performing rhinoplasty as the techniques he utilizes are completely outdated and proven to cause issues, yet he continues to perform surgeries. I’ve had nothing but complications and while that in itself is awful, the way I’ve been treated by him because of the complications has been a nightmare. He is arrogant and refuses to admit the issues. Our plan prior to surgery was discussed at length and agreed to, however the result is poor and I now struggle to breathe and live my life normally. He has accused me of making symptoms up and also stated I’m his only problem patient he’s ever had and that “everyone loves him” and to show my before and afters to any doctor and they will commend him on his beautiful work. In reality, I have seen a number of surgeons for a second opinion and each surgeon came to the same conclusion that the work was done poorly and the complications are due to failure to correctly perform the procedure. I now have to undergo a revision this summer with a highly skilled ENT/facial plastic surgeon to correct multiple issues directly caused by Dr. Capone. I wasted $8000 for this man to ruin my breathing and the look of my nose and will have to spend an additional $20k for another surgeon to fix what Capone did to me. I tried many times to have conversations with him and come to a solution, however he refuses to put the patient first and would rather defend himself. He never admitted to the issues he caused, yet told me he would do a revision on me for the full cost or I could bring a quote from another surgeon and he’d “match it”. To deny issues exist, then subsequently offer a revision for the issues you’re denying, while expecting the patient you botched to pay full price to have the issues fixed is insane. This behavior from a SURGEON is highly unethical and shocking. The least he could do is offer a refund so I’m able to put that towards a revision, but that’s not the case. After exhausting all efforts to remediate this, I had no other option than to open a case with the PA Medical Board who are currently investigating him. The mental trauma this has caused me cannot even be put into words and I can only hope the medical board finds him at fault so that he can never do this to another patient. I’ve never been treated so badly by a medical professional and feel it would be a disservice to others if I didn’t post an honest review."

"I love Yvonne!! She is so helpful and understands when we have to reschedule appointments last minute. We usually schedule appointments for first thing in the morning and sometime things like weather or sickness keeps us from making the long 2 hr drive there. We’ve seen Avery and he is great. He’s done reconstructive surgery for my husband. Him and my daughter were in a bad accident. He healed very quickly and the scarring was minimal."

"The entire office personnel are tremendous. Dr. Avery Capone is terrific. His understanding, caring and overall demeanor is pleasant and friendly. I have never dealt with a more quality group of folks than those in his office. I would recommend the doctor and this staff to everyone!"

"I have been going to see both Dr. Raymond and Dr. Avery Capone since 2016. They are both wonderful, kind and caring. They take the time to listen to your expectations and any questions. The staff is also welcoming and helpful. I wouldn't ever see any other plastic surgeons. This is a practice that has both experience and proven results. Highly recommend!"
