Dr. S is on my list, too. As I mentioned before, I need some serious work done on my forehead that will require reconstruction, not just recontouring. The surgeons that I've found that will do forehead osteotomy are: Spiegel (Boston), Meltzer (Phoenix), Di Maggio (Buenas Aires), Simon/Capitan (Spain). I assume that Dr Deschamps-Braly (successor to Dr. Ousterhout in San Francisco) also does reconstruction but I haven't checked.
I met Dr. S at SCC in Atlanta recently. He seems like a conscientious doctor and very skilled in FSS. He claimed to have performed over 700 forehead reconstructions. He does his operations at the Boston University Medical Center. Some people have tried to discredit him by pointing out that he was trained as an ENT physician, but I think experience in FSS is most important. I've heard from people that he is conservative with FFS. I like that (I want to recognize myself in the end), but others may want a more aggressive approach. His quote was the highest of all that I've received.
I've been in contact with the Facial Team (Simon/Capitan) in Marbella, Spain. I'm trying to set up a Skype consult with them soon. I also met these doctors at SCC. They've only been doing FSS since 2008, but that's all they do and they have racked up 200+ FFS operations to date. I was impressed with the numerous Before & After photos in their website photo gallery. Beautiful forehead work!
The reasons I'm even considering going to Spain for FFS are as follows:
1. All forehead work is done by cutting and resetting the frontal sinus wall.
2. They preserve the mucous lining of the frontal sinus.
3. They performed 172 FFS operations between 2008-2012 with no complications or rework.
4. I couldn't find any negative reviews on them.
5. Their results gallery is impressive in size and quality of the images.
6. They do a 3D CT scan before and after every FFS.
7. They have a specialist on the team for doing rhinoplasty (nose) surgery.
8. They will not do FFS and rejuventation surgeries at the same time. Six months between.
9. They perform all surgery in a state of the art private hospital.
10. Their prices are competitive even factoring in the higher travel cost.
11. Marbella is located on the coast of the Mediterranean, just 40 minutes from the Magala International Airport.
12. Every request for information that I submitted was responded to quickly and accurately.
You can see why I'm interested....LOL. They almost seem too good to be true.
