forehead reduction surgery with Gal Aharonov - Beverly Hills, CA

Scar is looking like dark hair dye. The tightness of my scalp is either loosening up or I'm use to the tighter adjustment now! Every now and then I feel the nerves coming back in the top portion of my head. Healing is going well, can't wait for more healing to take place!

I was extremely nervous about getting the bandages removed because I initially wanted a lower line than what was agreed upon. But I'm so glad I took dr aharonov's recommendation because I love it!!! :) he had to shave off my baby hairs because he said that it made me look like I was balding. And I also had an uneven hairline that he was able to fix a tad bit since the entire scalp had to be advanced so he couldn't move one side more than the other. All in all I'm extremely pleased with the procedure.

My throat hurts from the breathing mask so it's difficult for me to eat. I gargled a lot of warm salt water before meals. I'm continuing to ice my eyes and my neck which the doctor deemed necessary so that the bruising won't travel down to my eyes! There are tiny bruises on the outer corner of my eyes but nothing too noticeable!

Dr Aharonov warned me that the hairline is going to look harsh before it heals because of the shaving of the baby hairs l. I'm optimistic that the results will be amazing!

It's done!! My appointment time was at 11am so I had to be in the office getting all of my pre ops done and prepped for surgery. I was extremely nervous! The aenesthesiologist made me feel quite comfortable by having me take 3 Tylenol pills tomake me feel at ease then and after surgery during recovery! Very informative. She gave me all of the instructions for post care as well as relying the message to my ride to ensure that he knew if I were to have forgotten. After i had spoken to to Dr Aharonov and agreed on a length, (I wanted it a little lower but he explained that it would throw the proportions of my features off and make my face look wider) I decided to take his recommendation. Looking back at the pictures before surgery, I still wished I went a little lower but I might just be getting greedy since we all want the polar opposite of what he have! I remember walking to the surgery table, scooting up and then I was out! Next thing I know, I was demanding to go home! I can't control my thoughts when I was up apparently haha!
Recovery was easy. I was groggy and exhausted for most of the day. Kept my head elevated and bent upright at the waist area to keep blood from swelling up to my head! Iced the back of my neck as well as my eyes 30 min on/30 min off...still icing as I'm writing. Nurse instructed 48 hours of continual icing. I haven't noticed any bruising at all. Just a minor discomfort on the back of my head. Again very minor!
Can't wait til 12pm today. I will be going in to remove the bandages and reveal my new hairline! I'll keep updating! :)
