Transgender Breast Augmentation - Very Pleased

WORTH IT
I was a transgender patient in Philadelphia seeking breast augmentation surgery. An acquaintance recommended Dr. Lo to me for the procedure, and I'm glad I went with him.
I decided to go through with the surgery with Lo as, by default, he uses all of the techniques & implant types I'd previously researched as being the best options- an armpit incision + sub-muscular placement, with smooth, round, silicone implants. I asked for a look that was 'full, but natural', & am very happy with the outcome.
Recovery from the procedure was easy, and I was back to my normal routine within a couple days. There was more 'discomfort' than 'pain,' with the main annoyance post-op just being a short-lived scratchy throat from intubation. For a while there was a sense of 'heavy pressure' on my chest that went away in a week or two, and a month after the procedure only some mild irritation remains as my body adjusts to the prosthetics.
Dr. Lo's medical & care staff are all wonderful, as well as all of the staff at the quiet & cozy Vincera Institute surgery center he works out of. Sales staff are sales staff, so just be aware of this when making decisions on booking an intake appointment & making a deposit.
Dr. Lo himself has a great sense of humor, was able to answer any questions I had and did a good job of fully overviewing the procedure & his approach. He has a good eye for aesthetics, as evidenced by my outcome.
Do be aware that Dr. Lo does not take insurance, and if you have out-of-network coverage, Dr. Lo's office will not work with an insurer directly for securing prior authorization or submitting a claim. I was instead able to secure prior auth via my primary care provider at Mazzoni Center, and Lo's office gave me the tax number necessary to submit my own claim with the bill I was provided.
I am very happy with my outcome and do recommend Dr. Lo to prospective breast augmentation patients looking for somebody local who will do the best work.
