I was hoping someone would answer this thread as I am interested too. I am not a former patient, but I considered him for SRS. Unfortunately he was out of my price range. Last year, he would perform SRS for $34,000 which is the most expensive SRS that I have heard of. This might explain why not too many girls are sharing their experiences.

Well, i was referred to him by a Drs. Milkos and Moore, who are international recognized as the top vaginal reconstructive and gynecological urologists in the world, so I figured he would be the best to do a revision if one is very picky as I am. I was just wanting to know prior patients experiences and results with him.

from what little I know he's pretty average and horrifically overpriced, better known for ftm procedures then vaginoplasty and labiaplasty.

^Im sure he is pricey, because he is in Beverly Hill, CA, lol, but i am wondering why Milkos and Moore would give all referrals to him if he is not very good? Milkos and Moore are the highest level of reconstructive and gynecological urologists. I wouldnt think they would be giving Dr Alter as a referral if he were not a top plastic surgeon in this area. As far as him being mostly ftm, well i do not see proof of that, neither does that link prove anything imo. That is why i am seeking former patients that he has performed on. Hearsay, doesnt mean much. I may have to fly out for a consult to see for sure.

I received a rejection formatted email from him about a wk ago, saying that the issue i was having wasnt an issue and that it looked "fine' were his typed words. I sent about 3-4 pics at different views, which clearly shows the problem. I just think he doesnt want to revise another drs work.
