Alter is one of the leading surgeons in lablaplasty, penis and scrotal surgery, and transsexual surgery. He specializes in both kinds of surgery (male to female and female to male) and has extensive expertise in minimizing scars, transferring tissue, and improving cosmetic appearance.

                                                                                              Alter attended University of California at Berkley and then UCLA medical school. He achieved his skills in urology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

                                                                                              Dr. Alter works out of both Beverly Hills, California and Manhattan, New York, primarily in Plastic Surgery but sub-specializing in genital reconstruction.

                                                                                              He opened his plastic surgery practices in 1993 (Beverly Hills) and 1995 (Manhattan). One of the most unique things about Dr. Gary Alter’s practice is his belief that no operation is the solution for every person; every patient’s needs and desires are analyzed in order to make excellent clinical judgments.
