As a part of the breast augmentation consulatation we use the Vectra 3D imaging system. We like to show patients that there will be upper fullness due to the peck muscle being lifted. Women often think of the lower fullness and don’t realize there is fullness between the collar bone and nipple. We show them on the Vectra what that would look like so they understand the changes that will occur in their breast and appearance.
Dear Friends and Patients
On April 3 at 5:30pm , there will be a plastic surgery open house at my Philadelphia office at 8th and Spruce Street. The official address is 301 South 8th Street, Suite 3H Garfield Duncan Building. Look for the blue awning; this is the Garfield Duncan Building.
We will be demonstrating our new 3D Vectra Face and Body Sculptor Imaging system. This amazing state of the art equipment will show you what you may look like after plastic surgery of the nose, chin or breasts in 3 dimensions. It is especially good for breast augmentation and can show your look with different breast implant sizes. See what you may look like after a rhinoplasty with a chin implant.
We will be offering injectables such as Botox, Restylane, Radiesse, Evolence and Juvederm at special pricing. Gina and Mildred from my office will be there to answer your questions.
I will be there to answer your questions. Come for a complimentary massage. Gina’s favourite caterer will be there with refreshments. Prizes will be given out.
Call the office at 216 829 6900 to RSVP or go to and fill out the Dr Lo contact form to RSVP.
It should be fun; see you there.
On one of the forms that new patients are required to fill out before their plastic surgery consultation with me, asks about the medical and surgical history. This is the most important form because it give me information about whether the patient is fit for a plastic surgery procedure and to avoid and anticipate problems.
Most patients are very good at filling out their history. I can tell whether it has been filled out properly or not. I always ask followup questions about the answers. Obviously, some patients forget their medical or surgical history or are nervous and details are easily forgotten.
However, there are some patients that (believe or not) intentionally don’t tell me they had previous plastic surgery on their nose or face or state they never had liposuction. Meanwhile, being a plastic surgeon, I can obviously tell whether you have had plastic surgery before.
Honesty is the best policy. Your plastic surgeon is your advocate and friend. He/she needs all the information about your medical and surgical history in order to give you the best recommendations. This also includes telling your plastic surgeon about all your medications, herbal medications, vitamins, etc.
This will allow your potential plastic surgery procedure to go as smoothly as possible.

I am seeing more and more male patients that desire removal of the extra tissue below the nipple and around the chest area. Often this has been present since puberty and a teenager. No matter what the patient does, weight lifting or losing weight the extra tissue just stays there. This extra tissue is called gynecomastia or “gyneo” for short. It is consists of both fat and glandular tissue. Surgery is the only way to remove this tissue. Medications do not work. Losing weight does not work. Chest/Pec exercises do not work.
To treat gynecomastia, I use a combination of tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction for contouring and subcutaneous mastectomy to remove the glandular tissue. A small cut is made in the armpit for the liposuction and another cut at the edge of the nipple/areolar like a half circle. This surgical method is very successful for treating gynecomastia. It is nice to see my male patients being able to take their shirt off at the beach or pool and feel comfortable and self confident about their new normal look.

Today, a grateful and happy breast augmentation patient sent me an article on a woman’s experience with breast implant surgery called “My life in Implants” by Joyce Maynard published in More magazine Oct 2008 issue. This article deals with her experience with a total of 3 breast implant surgeries. My conclusion from this article, is that if you wish to have breast implants, go to a reputable plastic surgeon and do not go too big in size. The author’s problem is basically related to having too large breast implants for her body and the plastic surgeon agreeing to do this. Some women can have large breast implants and others cannot. This is based on your existing breast tissue, skin, fat and skin elasticity. A natural looking breast with breast implants is the key to a successful and happy outcome. Go to
