From the reviews

I was referred to Dr. Lu by my Dermatologist. The three times I was in the office, I was taken back for my appointment and was seen by the Dr. even before my scheduled appointment time. I'm not sure who runs this office, but they need to be running every single medical office. Dr.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Apr 2023

I was referred to Dr. Lu for reconstructive surgery after my double mastectomy. From the first appointment up to my surgery day Dr. Lu guided me through the process explaining and answering all my questions and concerns.

★★★★★ — Beth, Dec 2022

I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. lu and the UPMC staff in Mechanicsburg. After loosing -272lbs over multiple diet phases over about 4 1/2 years I went to UPMC to look into skin removal surgery/surgeries.

★★★★★ — Clonnie, May 2024

I would highly recommend Dr. Lu as an exceptional plastic surgeon. His responsiveness, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail were consistently evident before surgery, throughout my hospital stay, and during recovery. Dr.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
