Marci Lee Bowers (born January 18, 1958) is an American gynecologist and surgeon who specializes in gender-affirming surgeries. Bowers is viewed as an innovator in gender confirmation/affirmation surgery, and is the first transgender woman to perform such surgeries.[1][2][3][4]
Bowers operates at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame, California, and San Mateo Surgery Center in San Mateo, California. From 2003 to 2010, she practiced in the town of Trinidad, Colorado, where she apprenticed under Stanley Biber, a pioneer in sex reassignment surgery, before going solo in July 2003.[1][5][6][7]
Bowers is also an international expert on functional clitoral restoration (also called clitoral reconstruction surgery) after female genital mutilation and cutting. From 2007 to 2009, she practised under Pierre Foldès, pioneer of clitoral restoration surgery.
She has spoken about her practice and other transgender topics in several documentaries, interviews, news reports, and articles. Media appearances have included The Oprah Winfrey Show (2007), The Tyra Banks Show (5 episodes), Today, Matt Walsh’s What Is a Woman?, and CBS Sunday Morning feature. She is also the featured surgeon in the six-part 2006–2007 television series Sex Change Hospital. In May 2020, The Times featured Bowers on their Science Power List.[8]
