Louis P Bucky, MD, FACS

I think the staff and office at Dr. Bucky’s are wonderful. I have been there two times for fillers, and Kimi is wonderful. They don’t just randomly inject your face, but explain the «aesthetics» behind it, and I had minimal bruising/​dowtime. My fillers have lasted a long time. I plan on getting aesthetician/​facial services when I garner the time. I feel like the practice is really nice, and they will «grow with me» as I age & needs change:) My only taking off one star is that there is continual pressure to buy their skincare line (which is gorgeous) but it is like $ 450 and has no SPF! Anyhow, the reputation is real, and since it’s your face/​body, worth it to see them.

I had a consultation with Tara at Dr Bucky’s. She was phenomenal! She took time with me, explained everything very completely and was very caring. I was very, very skeptical prior to my appointment, but after spending time with Tara, she made a believer out of me! Two days later I had two procedures done. It feels great to pamper myself!
I would highly recommend Tara to anyone that would like to see a true, caring, efficient professional.
Forgot to mention how great Rachel is as well!!! n Everything that I said above about Tara, also applies to Rachel.

Ok Well i visit this place month ago and a beautiful lady recieve me her name Its kimi omg She is super special such kind person i came here because i have over derma filler done with another surgeon and kimi just disolved very good with hyluronidase plus i recieve the best advice from her !!! She is like a angel For me i cry day day She Make me feel good about myself i just love her

Dr. Bucky lives up to his reputation as the best in Philly area! His goal is a natural look for all procedures, and his thoughtfulness and experience help patients ultimately achieve their cosmetic goals without the extreme surgical look. Val is the nurse I went to pre/​post-​op, and she was great. I’ve also gone to her for Botox, and she has a great aesthetic touch and doesn’t over-​do it. Very happy with everything and everyone involved!

I had a bilateral preventative mastectomy with reconstruction in 2010-​11 with Dr. Bucky and Dr. Sataloff at Pennsylvania Hospital. Honestly, I cannot say enough nice comments about the quality of work, staff personalities and overall experience. My breasts look amazing! While I was under, I also had an upper eye lift since I was nearing fifty. It was so subtle but made a huge difference. Isn’t that what good plastic surgery is supposed to be? Subtle? I have recommended about five people to Dr. Bucky for various surgeries and they have all had results beyond their wildest expectations. If you can afford the best, don’t even bother looking elsewhere.

I was looking at autologous fat transfer to the breasts and had it down to Dr. Bucky in Philly, Dr. Coleman in Tribeca NY, or Dr. Khouri in Miami. It was estimated that the boob job would cost $ 10k, which was much cheaper than Dr. Coleman’s $ 20k or Dr. Khouri’s $ 15k. The before and after photos looked good and he has strong credentials (Harvard Medical School and Mass General Hospital for residency). Only problem is that they don’t do chest mri’s before surgery… I didn’t take that for a good sign.

I work in the skin care industry and have been sending my clients to Dr. Bucky for years. When I was told I was a carrier for the BRCA mutation (cancer gene) at 27, I underwent a bilateral double mastectomy. Unfortunately, I was not able to get in with Dr. Bucky since him and my breast surgeon only worked 1 day a month together. I chose to go to Dr. Steven Kovach at HUP. I was immediately disappointed with my reconstruction. Dr. Kovach told me that after my expanders came out I would looks much better. Not the case. My «breasts» were pancake flat and very unnatural looking. They were so unnaturally shaped that was wasn’t able to even wear a bra for 4yrs! This past April I finally went under Dr. Bucky’s knife. After waking up from surgery I noticed an immediate difference even just with the expanders. My clothes were fitting and my confidence was growing. July of this year (2013) I had my expanders swapped for my new high profile implants! A week later I went bra shopping and fit into them! As tears of joy ran down my face looking at my new, feminine, natural body I couldn’t help but regret not doing this sooner. Dr. Bucky has completely restored my self confidence. He has given back what cancer has taken from me. His Harvard education, his passion for his work, his compassion for his patients and his enthusiasm for realistic results are all part of what continually makes him Philly’s Top Doc.

My skin has never looked better!
I’ve been working with Renee for 6 months. At each appointment, she reviews my chart and sees how I’ve done since my last treatment. I’ve also received skin care recommendations for home care. She used the laser to remove noticeable pigment and veins on my face and it worked the first time. The peels really keep me looking fresh. I work with the public, and since having my skin done by Renee, I have received numerous compliments on how great I look! I’m still a client, and love the results. Who says we can’t age gracefully???

very average-​I wouldn’t recommend highly

I absolutely love Dr. Bucky and his staff.
After having bilateral breast cancer in 2007, I underwent a double mastectomy with a DIEP flap at HUP. The doctor, despite glowing reviews, was horrible (last name rhymes with serengetti). The surgery was unsuccessful and left my «reconstructed breasts» horribly misshapen and obscenely small (triple A bra size). I went to Dr. Bucky because I cried every time I looked in the mirror. I’ve seen Dr. Bucky’s work many times and it is fabulous.
Dr. Bucky was extremely thorough in his exam and thoughtful about the procedure he would perform. I told him to put whatever implants would look best on my body type (tall and slim). I was sick of looking like something out of National Geographic.
I had the implants and was immediately thrilled with the results. Dr. Bucky told me they would never be «perfect» and his goal was to help me look good in clothes and improve my self confidence. A few months later he completed nipple reconstruction using skin grafts from my hips. They look great.
Dr. Bucky’s office staff has always been kind and respectful and the nurses are very thorough. Lisa spent a ton of time with me before each procedure, making sure I understood everything that was going to be done.
My insurance company covered my procedures, so I did not have to worry about the costs like someone undergoing an elective procedure. I would expect him to cost more than an average plastic surgeon, as he is highly skilled and respected. You pay for the best. And Dr. Bucky is the very best.
