I found Dr. Lo on RealSelf.com. He was highly rated and has a background in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery. He is really skilled at chin osteotomy which in my opinion is better than chin implants, but he does both. I went in to discuss different options for my face, particularly my nose, and I'm so glad he had 3D imaging to show me what the possibilities were because what's possible in our minds is sometimes different from reality and I'm so happy I could figure that out with imagining beforehand. I was a bit disappointed with what the simulation looked like but I definitely didnt lose anything in going. It was a free consultation with professional 3D imaging and a great surgeon. And I got a quote on rhinoplasty, which by the way is around $5k. Not bad at all. And FYI, he takes cash, checks, money order, visa, MasterCard, Discover, and he even does financing through Care Credit. I get the impression he does work mostly on the body like tummy tucks, liposuction and breast augmentation, but he does have a strong background in shaping the structure of the face.
For the consultation, in the beginning, he was a bit curt. Not rude, just direct and professional. He wasn't rushed at all and answered all my questions. And I was a bit surprised how kind and caring he was when we did the imaging. He was very patient and reassuring. He was even very honest with me and told me that although he saw the imperfections that I saw, he thought I was pretty and didnt need it. Very refreshing to hear but at the same time somehow disappointing. Nonetheless, he was very compassionate and I definitely trust him. In the future, if I decide to do a chin osteotomy or something for my body or skin, I definitely wouldn't hesitate to go back.
Also, Mildred and Gina are very friendly and smiley! There is parking directly nextdoor in the hospital parking garage. When you get the sticker from Mildred, the ticket is free. The one and only complaint that I would have is that the building needs to be renovated- the lobby and elevator are outdated and his office could use a facelift. But everything that is important is stellar!
