I was wondering if anyone has gone to Dr. O recently or knows someone who has?  I was planning to go to him this year any input.

no idea , im going to go with dr di maggio or zukowski . but on another note i love your icon , jeffrey campell is a god as shoe design and i cant wait to buy more of his shoes eventually

I have seen Dr. di maggio and Dr. Z's work in person, and with di maggio I find most of his patients do not look female with Dr. Z I hate his noses.  Another thing keeping me from Dr. Z beyond his work is the 2 lawsuits in one a patient died so I will be staying far away from him. Though I am more interest in hearing about Dr. O's recent activity then talking about other doctors.

Quotebut on another note i love your icon

Yeap I love the shoes and showing off my legs in public.  After I am all healed up from my surgery I had in March there's a pair of Blyke's that need some breaking in.

doesnt dr o's age worry you ? i mean people were talking about him being too old way back in 2005 , on forums etc

Quotedoesnt dr o's age worry you ? i mean people were talking about him being too old way back in 2005 , on forums etc

It does and doesn't.  I saw him last year when I was staying in San Fran he had more vigor and drive then me and I am pretty much just a kid. The guy does 13 hr operations all the time and is a perfectionist, so with that in mind a brow reduction for him is like you or me making a cup of coffee.  I just have not seen anything in the last year and would like to know his more recent activities and results to put my mind at ease.

So come on girls give me some help here

Do you have a link regarding the case on Dr. Z?  Any sort of surgery carries risks, particularly under a general anaesthetic - it may well have been that the patient had other undiagnosed health issues to begin with.  I know of one case where a perfectly cis woman had her lower jaw repositioned, where the jaw failed to heal and resulted in a lawsuit, and the surgeon is one of the best around.

Some surgeons are amazing and can keep going for a long time (age wise), but personally I would not be going to Dr. O. because there's a higher chance that he may have an off day due to his age.  (As not in making a huge blunder, but have a mid-surgery minor incident that extends the surgery time, and thus the recovery time).

I went to Dr. O. in 2008, I'm not sure how "recently" you are looking for. He hasn't changed his technique in that time as far as I know. I have very positive things to say but I also realize choosing a surgeon is such a subjective, personal experience. There's no right or wrong, only right or wrong for you

exactly thats why i wont be going with him either that and hes more expensive than any of the other surgeons including the other top priced surgeons like dr spiegal . im not going to invest 50,000 or more  with the risk i might be a patient on one of his " off days "

Generally speaking it is better to not talk about a pending lawsuit like this since both sides will try to argue it.  Lets just wait until the suit is decided and go from what the jury/judge ruled truthful.

Elle, I thought Dr Spiegel did your FFS? Unless you had it done twice...

Thats my friend, not me.

Dr O is a very very good doctor. Until the very last minute i was thinking between him and Dr Z. The only reason I didn't go with Dr O was his age.
And when it comes to the woman who died at Dr Z center, that can happen with every surgery and with every doctor. I am sure every FFS and SRS doctor has had a case of that kind.

On the left, two years ago, Dr. O is still very much the best FFS surgeon in the world.

Elle, I am sorry to conclude, but those are two different persons on that photo. Judging by the structure of the face, the color of the eyes, the quality of the hair..... What is your point?

My friend is the one on the left, and shes simply gorgeous. Dr. O did an amazing job with her, and this was just two years ago. She's a runway and editorial model now.

i thought it was before and after photo

I heard mostly good about Dr O but there is a girl on Youtube who had a bad experience him.


I think she had another corrective surgery with Dr Z, or is as least planning.
