Special Note About Insurance
Dr. Sassani is not in-network with any private insurance plans and does not bill insurance directly. If you have a plan with out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement after paying for surgery upfront. To avoid unexpected costs, ask your insurance provider whether you could be subject to balance billing, and confirm whether the surgical facility or any assisting providers are also considered out-of-network.
To verify your coverage for FTM Top Surgery, contact your insurance company’s member services department or speak with a benefits representative where you work. Ask:
Does my plan include out-of-network benefits?
Does my plan cover gender-affirming top surgery? (You can also provide the following billing codes: ICD-10: F64.8 – Gender identity disorder; CPT: 19303 – FTM Top Surgery / mastectomy.)
How much is my out-of-network deductible, and how much of it has already been met?
Will I be responsible for balance billing from the surgeon or facility?

Dr. Sassani is an amazing surgeon, and I 100% recommend him for FTM top surgery!" — Sylas, 2025
"Dr. Sassani is the best!!! During my post op, Dr. Sassani mentioned that when it's all healed, it's going to look exactly how I want it to. Surely enough 3 months later, my chest looked exactly how I wanted it to look. I've never been happier and Dr. Sassani and his team made it possible for me to have the safest, most comfortable experience. THANK YOU!!" — Caden, 2025
"I had top surgery on March 4th, 2025. Dr. Sassani did a really excellent job and I'm in love with my body now. Mrs. Stacey was always so polite to me and helpful when I called. I also loved Mrs. Kim — she always made me laugh when I was anxious and it truly helped with my anxiety before the surgery took place. I can't wait to come back with my partner for his top surgery hopefully soon. Thank you guys so much." — Syrus, 2025
"I had top surgery right before the holidays (December 11th), and I feel like Dr. Sassani gave me a life I never thought I could have. From the first consult all the way to now where Dr. Sassani and I have continued to be in touch about my healing progress, I have never felt unsure, uneducated, or alone in the process. I'm beyond in love with my results, words can’t even explain. Everyone made me feel super comfortable, supported, and loved. All I felt was excitement! Thank you so much Take Shape Plastic Surgery!" — Ren, 2025

"I had top surgery with Dr. Sassani a little over a month ago. My experience with him and his team was awesome! The surgery center was clean and felt very private. His team is so kind and caring (especially Kim and Stacey) and made me feel supported and in good care. I had no complications and I'm loving my results. I would highly recommend Take Shape PS to anyone looking to get gender affirming surgery." — Jules, 2023
