I was on the waitlist for my BA surgery for about 2 years ! And all I have to say is that Rachel is 1000% worth the wait . She exceeded my expectations , she has an amazing team who makes you feel supported and safe throughout the entire encounter . Initial consultation I told her I wanted 550 ccs and we both agreed that would be the perfect size for me , last minute I switched my mind and told her I wanted 600ccs and she said she'll try to make it work , and needless to say she did exactly that ! We did 600ccs Over the muscle , my breast feel natural and soft ! And look amazing . Thank you Racheal !!
Dr. Bluebond-Langner is the best around. Full stop. Her team is kind, compassionate, organized, professional, and above all high, high quality. I've had 3 surgeries with Dr. Bluebond-Langner, all with fabulous success. I had vaginoplasty, breast augmentation, and body contouring. I refuse to go to anyone else as she is the top notch in her field. She is leading the way in gender affirming surgery and I encourage any trans person seeking medical transition to get yourself an appointment with Dr. Bluebond-Langner. I have built a familial relationship with her and her staff and it is a joy communicating and connecting with each and every one of them. Glowing reviews, 10s across the board. Want to stun? Head to Bluebond-Langner.
I got a Bilateral Mastectomy with Reconstruction from Bluebond and her team, and I don’t think anyone could of done it better. Not only am I happy with the results, but she and her team have kept me informed and supported me through my recovery. I deal with anxiety and get worried about things a little too often, but Bluebond and her team were always willing to answer my questions. I know I can be a pain to deal with due to my medical-field-related anxieties, but everyone was so patient with me, not only helping me get past my anxieties, but giving me the tools to deal with them on my own. I got my surgery less than a year after my schedule date, and she did her best to keep it that way while also keeping me safe. 100% recommend. Bonus kudos to the nurses in post care unit when I stayed over. I’m not sure if they’re specifically part of Bluebond’s team, but regardless, they were very kind and helpful, making sure I was comfortable and recovering properly so I could return home the next day.
My entire experience from soup to nuts was excellent after we got past the electrolysis misunderstanding that delayed my surgery. Even then Rachel made sure I got an earliest surgery date, just a bit less than a year. My Vaginoplasty went off without a hitch. From residents and students to nurses, Rachel, Lee and the anesthesiologist every one maintained wonderful dispositions. Five days later they removed the packing (excruciating, but very brief and all on a single pull.) Within 20 minutes I dilated for 15 minutes with instructions from Kevin (wonderful man! Over the time I was there my nurses were fantastic and over and above helpful. I’d love spending a weeks vacation on the river side of Kimmel Pavilion. I have come away from that with a pretty and deep (especially given the tissue that was available.) I am still over the moon after two years.
Dr Rachel did an amazing job with my boobs I am 1000000% satisfied with the procedure. And I would recommend her to anyone. After the procedure the pain was minor and the scars wasn't visible 10++++++++
Bluebond-Langner, Lee Zhou, and their teams did an amazing job. I felt empowered throughout the whole process. The team at NYU Langone went above and beyond to make sure I felt educated and supported. I couldn’t be happier!
Dr. Bluebond-Langner has no equal. She is profoundly gifted as a plastic surgeon and has unimpeachable ethics. Dr. Bluebond-Langner is respectful, compassionate, and graceful. I was fortunate to have her as my surgeon for a critically serious operation. The results are beautiful, and the pathology report was "benign." This woman has the brains, training, courage, and hands of a masterful plastic surgeon. I thank my lucky stars every day!
Rachel was awesome and treated me great . Did a beautiful job and was so nice and caring not only will she give u 1000000000% she's nice and knows her stuff. To me she's a god. Thank u Rachel for giving me my new life.
Excellent, knowledgeable, compassionate, and positive. She not only gives off a vibe of she she knows what she is doing, she backs it up. I am incredibly thankful to have finally come across her on this road. Prior to her I had a bilateral mastectomy, necrosis (lost skin and nipple), debridement with infection ( lost skin and form) tissue expanders placed, constant seromas, ruptured expander, exchanged expander, more seromas, incision that would not heal no matter how many times he stitched it. Finally I gave up on my surgeon and went with Dr. Rachel... she knew what I needed and assured me that it's a process but we could and will get there. I have full faith in her, especially after my 1st procedure with her and conversations. I'm greatful.
After bilateral mastectomy (a different kind of cancer was found in each!), I had expanders placed in February 2013. Once they were filled to the size I wanted, I put off further reconstruction because I was tired of being a patient! Later, I still couldn't decide if I wanted to go through DIEP Flap or just get implants. I finally opted for implants in August of 2016. Dr. Bluebond-Langner has been very caring, patient, and honest throughout. She is friendly, efficient, and has great bedside manner, along with her surgical skill. I would and DO highly recommend her.
More and more insurance companies cover gender affirming surgery, including top surgery. Prior to surgery my office submits for pre determination of coverage. If the procedure is denied I will call the insurance company to request a peer to peer review. Unless the policy clearly states that mastectomy for transgender individuals is not a covered benefit I have had good success in getting top surgery covered.
