I would like to host a web page of everyone's experiences and photos so that we can all make better choices. It seems like such a treasure hunt to find good information. I have the means to host the web page unhindered and can post basic HTML so that it's easily navigated but I have no idea how to collect the information. Sure the surgeons can show me the good stuff but I also want to see the unhappy clients. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would be great for the community to help the community. I feel that we're a little bit at the mercy of the surgeons and that's no way to make a choice.
The problem with "burring" or "shaving" the brow bone is that the sinus cavities are RIGHT THERE. They are open spaces in our skulls. The bone in front of the sinus cavities protects the spaces and what is behind the cavities (the brain). Burring/shaving the brow bone down will make that bone thin. It's difficult for anyone to guess how much they can burr down without getting too close to the actual cavity. If the brow bone is too thin it could be easily broken and then the health problems just pile up from there.
I'm going to go with Spiegel. I've met some of his patients and one of them ... I swear, I thought was born a woman. When she showed me what she looked like before I was actually a little repulsed (which is an odd reaction but that's how different she looks). I can spot transfeatures extremely well because I'm obsessed with appearance and gender... and I am old THUS I have had years to study. I can't imagine how someone looks more masculine post op with Spiegel. I would love to see pix so that I could be educated and spread the word.
Meghan, Jamie, and Charlotte have generously added true education and inspiring messages of hope via youtube.
It would be nice for there to be a one stop shopping webpage - here is what the faces look like - click here for the breast surgeons. Anna Lawrence I think is the one with this amazing post op section on neovaginas.
Anyway. Dr. O I feel is a little bit up there in the years and that concerns me. After researching Dr. Z I'm actually afraid of him. Spiegel most likely is going to be considered the best. His techniques improve and he has fellows so his techniques will be passed on. I've seen many of his rhinoplasties, I can't imagine them going wrong but... I would really like to know before I buy
Indecently I live close to Boston Medical (11 miles away) and would be willing to host someone who has no support otherwise. I have a spare bedroom and a comfortable Camry to drive you there and back. I have studied medicine and so has my roommate who is a massage therapist. We're not nurses but we know what to look for in case there is emergent need of medical help.
