Has anyone heard of Dr. Mardirossian in Jupiter, FL?
I've been looking around at different surgeons for having my previous Type 1 forehead redone to a Type 3. I had a Skype consult with Spiegel, and he quoted $13K, and then I found Mardirossian's site and had a Skype consult with him - $6.3K!
From what I could find, it looks like he trained with Spiegel, and they performed surgeries together starting in 2007 and coauthored papers on FFS (he just recently started his practice in Florida). I asked what his experience was with the Type 3 forehead work, and he said that he has performed many of them since 2007, both with Spiegel and by himself.
Has anyone heard anything more about him?

I have of him too. I contacted him via his webpage, but never heard back from him. His credentials appears good, I found at least one paper he coauthored with Spiegel. "Implants and Skeletal Modifications".
However, since I did not hear back from him I did not follow up. I figure I am the customer, I should not have to chase a surgeon to get him to reply.

I did finally get a follow-up contact. Then had a Skype consultation this past week. Yep, forehead work seemed very reasonable, however as I'm in my mid-50s, 30 year post transition I need more than just forehead work. Lots of years playing sports and working on the farm has caused skin damage.
I have another Skype consult scheduled in the next couple weeks.
