Hi Monica, I went to Dr. McGinn. Originally I was to have my BA with my GCS on 11/15/2016. That did not happen due to a medical reason during GCS and I had it on 7/25/2017. I had 555 ml Mentor cohesive silicone. The max Mentor makes is 800 ml. When I scheduled the BA with GCS it was $8,000 for everything.
1 Do they have experience with trans women? YES
2 Do they take my insurance as I will attempt to get it covered as medical necessity? Aetna paid for the BA, it is a rider to my employer insurance
3 Do they do a sizing as part of the consult? Dr. McGinn and Chrystal were in the room and Dr. McGinn asked what size I want To be. I said I do not know and that I did not want to be too big and average female size would be good. I am a 42B or 40C. Sometimes I want bigger but most of the time I feel I am just right. Dr. McGinn showed me a 325 mentor silicone implant for comparison. No seizers were used.
4 What types of implants do I have options for with them? Saline, silicone, gummy bears?Saline or cohesive silicone (gummies)
5 Cost for consult?No cost, I was there for a post op check up.
Any other thoughts?
If I were to do it again I would want 800 ml but knowing none of it would fit under my muscle and the potential for them to break the newly created breast fold I think I would opt for the 555 ml. If I wanted larger I would do it 5 years later.
As for the actual consult,
1 What is cost of implants? Surgery? $8,000
2 What is revision policy? Do not know
3 Where incisions made? Under my breast.
