Title: Kathy Rumer
Post by: Pickles on April 30, 2014, 07:07:49 PM
Anyone had experience with Dr Kathy Rumer for FFS? She seems like a popular choice for Ftm breast removal, but can't find really find much about her FFS jobs....

You probably know this already but she has being doing ffs for 7 years now and has been a plastic surgeon for 9 years. Prior to that she was an aerospace engineer for Lockheed. I find that amazing!

Yes, Betty Rubble, I did know that! As an electrophysics engineer/scientist I find that encouraging! They did say they'd show me before/afters if I scheduled a consultation....I'd still like to know if it'd be worth the hassle of even doing that.

I had FFS and hair graphing done with Dr. Rumor  about 10 months ago. Dr. Rumor has an absolutely positive position towards trans folks and her entire practice supports that. In recent months she has enhanced her practice greatly by adding services that suit all types of people. With that said you really need to go at her with exactly what you want. She services her clients with a non push attitude as well as a less is more approach. So if you are looking for something extremely aggressive then you will really have to tell her that.

With that said.. The hair graphing turned out AWSOME!! I'm happy with the other results I have had. More than likely I will go have a revision done on the Rhinoplasty as the symmetry is not even. But that's not a Dr. R issue.

I would recommend staying at a nearby hotel for recovery. The suite she has is acceptable but its 3 flights up and is quite dated.. Its GREAT if that's what suits your budget..

Sami did you have full forehead reconstruction or just browburing? I have a paper thin frontal sinus bone with a huge brow ridge, so I'll probably have to have the full reconstruction. Do you know anything about how she does that?
