Title: The Surgeon's Surgeon
Post by: Randi on September 03, 2012, 11:17:06 AM
At least two well know SRS surgeons are post-op MTF's.   Marci Bowers and Christine McGinn.

Which surgeons performed their surgery?

Randi

That would be Dr. Douglas Ousterhout.

I've read that his FFS patients all have a similar "look".

i don't really know why people care too much about someone producing a similiar look in all their patients , because they are going to be living in general society , not some community of entirely made up of post ffs transexual women , where the similarity is going to be noticable lol

Toby Meltzer did Bowers, that's what she told me in person.

This is what I've heard as well. Are you certain of this (ie what is your info source - PM me if you prefer)? I really don't see the Dr. O "trademark look" with her as much as with some others. Maybe the nose & forehead to a degree?

Yes, especially the infamous dr O 'cookie cutter nose', actually quite hideous looking on most of his patients.

Dr Biber did Bower's SRS. She then studied and learned off of him and took over his practice when he retired.

Sorry, but I don't know where I heard it.  It may have been what she said said on a recent appearance on the Dr. Oz show.
Can you remember where you heard it?

On another forum, one of her previous patients said she went to Dr. O for FFS... I know it's something many don't like to discuss openly though, which I completely understand.

I've been able to determine that Marci Bowers had her surgery in 1996 and Christine McGinn had hers around 2001.

It would make sense if Toby Meltzer did Marci Bowers' surgery since they were both in Portland around 1996. 

Why would anyone not believe Noey's first hand information?

chloe23, I always thought Biber did her surgery, but that was simply an assumption I made based on the fact that she was trained by him and took over his practice when he retired. I've never actually come about any information explicitly stating or otherwise confirming he did her surgery.
