After so many years of contiplating what I dhoukd do with my large forehead and bad side swept bangs to cover myslef, it was time to start researching. I came accross realself and began my journey to find the right doctor. I live in Los Angeles so I felt I had a plethora of surgeons near me. One cought my eye and it was over. Dr. KABAKER is practically the guro of this proceedure. He has trained eveneven the beverly hills doctors near me. I've had my eye on this surgery but like

Female with a Hi hairline - Oakland, CA
I have always had a high forehead and I hated how I looked. I was teased at school because of my big forehead and that made me self conscious. When the summer comes its a nightmare for me cause I dont want to go swimming and dont have any fun just to keep my bangs dry and on place. And when the wind blows oh my that is horrible for me I just feel everybody is going to be staring at my forehead. Updated on 17 Dec 2016: Updated on 17 Dec 2016: Not very happy I see
I had been looking to get this procedure done since I was 20 years old when I finally discovered what was off balance about my face. Since that time, I had grown increasingly self conscious about it. Forget about wearing my hair in a pony tail. My hairline was so high it made me look bald. Wind was no longer my friend and to be honest bangs didnt help either. They would end up looking sparse or childish. When I found out Dr. Kabaker was retiring, that was the final straw. I booked
This review is posted as a thank you to everyone at RealSelf who has shared their experiences. I hope to give back and pay forward through my post. I never write reviews but feel it is important, because without this website i would never have had the guts or the information to feel comfortable going through with it. Also, without this site, I would not have known that Dr Kabaker is retiring in January! And he is the ONLY person I wanted to do my surgery because I am a perfectionist
I had my procedure this morning. When I arrived the receptionist was lovely and the nurse who took me through to process me was really lovely too and actually funny she made me laugh at times. She explained all the meds she was giving me and how to take them. Then his assistant came to take pictures and draw lines on my head after discussing how low i would like to go (and may I add he was serious eye candy aha). Dr Kabakar came to double check everything. They was both very thorough
From as long as I can remember I have prayed for a smaller forehead. I've gone through many moments of wondering if I could "get over it" but have a ways gone back to just wishing it could be smaller. It's been 4 long years of communicating with doctors all over the world, figuring out who is the best and how I could go forward with this procedure. I am from Vancouver Canada and there are no doctors who perform this locally. I've been communicating with dr kabaker for years
February 3, 2016 I hairline lowered by 2.6 cm ( so little over an inch). I had always been self conscious about my forehead so I decided to have the procedure after talking to several doctors I decided on Dr. Kabaker. He was very very knowledgeable , super kind and has been performing this procedure for over 20 years. Updated on 18 Feb 2016: Updated on 3 Mar 2016: It has been one month since I had my hairline lowering procedure performed by Dr.Kabaker. I'm super happy with
I have my surgery date for Jan. 27th and I'm very nervous! The only other surgery I've ever had was tonsil removal. I have always been self conscious of my large forehead and my insecurities of my forehead really cripples me from enjoying life more. So I'm excited for the surgery but still VERY nervous. It'd be great to talk with people who've have had the surgery and learn about their experience. It would really help me prepare myself mentally! Updated on 27 Jan 2016: Hey everyone!!

2.6 Cm Hairline Lowering - Oakland, CA
I cannot express how awesome this procedure was. Dr. Kabaker was extremely helpful and professional. He made sure I was taken care of post-op and answered all of my follow-up emails promptly. The photo I'm posting is 1-month post surgery. I experienced no hair loss with my procedure. Im 23 years old and have had no prior surgeries. Updated on 29 Dec 2015: Updated on 23 Jan 2016: Everything is still awesome. No shock hair loss. The only thing is that a couple of my deep sutures

Forehead Reduction with Dr. Kabaker. Oakland, CA
I have always had a large forehead but only recently -- during a hair transplant consultation -- have I heard of a forehead reduction procedure. After several telephone consultations, I decided Dr. Sheldon Kabaker was the best choice for me!! I was impressed with him, his experience, and his awesome reviews. I live in South Carolina and thought I "needed" a face-to-face consultation before scheduling the procedure. Knowing what I know now, I would skip that extra expense and schedule
