Had 3 surgeries done on May 08/17 ears pinned back forehead line lowering and brow lift and it's now May/13/17 Everything seems to be going okay just very scared we over did the brow lift and did too much and now i have sunken in eyes that look scared and shocked face which is not cute! I'm hoping that it's just because i'm swollen and not because we cut too much. Stay tuned and find out as i update my results!

How are you doing?? Any problems with numbers or itching under forehead.
May 14, 2017
It's definitely numbed under my forehead and the top part of my head I'm getting scared that I have no blood flow on the top and feel like my hair is thinning out already and getting a bald spot on the middle when I pick up my front hairs up I see a lot of emptiness and not much fullness how I had before of hair I started reading on that also after I saw It happen to me :/ not fun and hoping it will stop falling... no itching under forehead but the line where it's stitched up on the forehead can get a little itchy and it's just a reminder I have to put more of that cream/gel stuff they gave me so I don't get cracky and itchy.. also notice I have a big ball looking thing inside of my left ear that's part of my ear but its poped out like a ear pice so really hope that goes away bc it don't look cute

Thanks for asking how I'm doing :)

Yes so sorry, so hard to know what can happen. I know there is always numbness after any surgery where they cut because the nerves are cut. Especially on tummy tucks, that whole area gets numb but no one ever talks about that. I used this latisse liquid on my upper eyelashes to make them longer, got horrible results. Did not read the reviews till after. It darkened my skin on eyelids and above and wrinkles. My eyes look horrible extra skin brownish skin.
It's hard to weed out stuff. I know this good Dr. In Pittsburgh who did cheek implants to a friend with horrible results. He's a top plastic surgeon too. You are very very pretty. You have a face like a model!!Talk again.

I wrote above and the numbness is normal, and should slowly go away. It takes 4 months for brows to relax. Again, I looked like cat woman at first, now at 4 months posy op totally normal. You can buy extra strength minoxicil topical solution 5% the kind for men not women, twice a day on area where you have hair loss, if it is ok with your surgeon.

sorry again about typos

Why do you have a nose cast on? Did you get a rhinoplasty as well?
You did not look like you need brow lift or anything with your before pictures. Please keep us posted on how you're doing. Dr. A did my rhinoplasty 4/24/2017 and so far I'm very happy still ( knock on wood).
May 17, 2017
Yes I did that as well and my ears pulled back and got my head line lowered/brow lift bc I had a BIG forehead haha yes I'll update pictures tomorrow :)
May 17, 2017
All that for $4k?!! That's a great price!!!
May 17, 2017
Haha no def. not total came out to $15K
May 17, 2017
Lol, I was like whoa! Did he use ear cartilage to perform rhinoplasty on you? I don't think your eyes look sunken in, maybe the bruises? Is he going to take those stiches off around your forehead?
May 18, 2017
you are so beautiful

Everything you have written is normal after this surgery, sunken in eyes, high brows, swelling, numbness and some hair loss. The brows should drop but it takes a few months. It takes time for numbness to go away. There is a over the counter medication to help hair growth, my surgeon told me to but if I got hair loss but I do not recall the name. I am 3 1/2 months post op brow lift and experienced many of the things you stated and they all resolved. It took some time. You actually look a lot better than I did at a week post op. I looked like a younger version of cat woman and I looked Chinese for about two weeks. I look totally normal now and my brown have dropped around 4 mm. I had numbness and it resolved. I also had sunken in looking eyes, and it resolved too, but these things took several months. I hope this helps ease your mind. I would like to see how you look in 3 months. I have a feeling you will be fine.

Sorry about the typos, typing from my phone.

Your nose swelling can take up to a year to resolve after nose job. One year post op is when you should see final result on your nose. Try to be patient. I know it can be scary, especially seeing reviews where they look fine right after this surgery. I did not find that to be the case. I look good now though at 3 months post op.

There is NO WAY to tell, because you are super swollen from having three procedures done. It's natural for your eyes to look this way. Let's see in three months where you are. Don't obsess just yet!
UPDATED FROM bar0909
2 months post

UPDATE!!!!!!! MUST SEEE!!!!!!

bar0909
Well, it's been a little over 2 months and I've been enjoying my results so much that forgot to give a update :) EKKKK!!!! I also want to mentioned that I was VERY SCARED after surgery more scared than even getting the surgery. Was very depressed for a whole month having to look at myself in the mirror lol I know give me a break! Had 3 surgeries done at the same time and the healing down part sucks! haha... After a LOT of research I decided to do my consultation with Dr. Apostolakis and after the consultation I scheduled my surgery 2 weeks later! I hadn't gone to any other consultations with any other doctors either just knew he was the one and wasn't sugar coating anything! He tells you what he can accomplish and what the results will look like. I asked for 3 finger size forehead and he gave it to me! I asked for a little small w/ cute tip nose and he gave it to me! I asked for no more jumbo ears and he gave it to me!
If you don't trust your doctor at least 99.99% you should not go with them to begin with! I trusted him so much that I got 3 surgeries at the same time! Now my son is wanting to get his ears done with him also! And I wouldn't pick no other doctor to have my son in good hands but Dr. Louis!!!!!
My eyes went back to NORMAL! & that's what I was freaked out the most.. it's all funny now and think you were the only one going trough it! ohhh gezzz!
ANYWAYS!!! I'll stop talking already, here goes his amazing work!!!! I would recommend him to everyone over and over again! I mean don't go with my word just look at my results for yourself!
Very happy & thankful with the results!!!!

You look fab. What eyebrow lift technique did your surgeon use? It looks like he also lowered your hairline. Any itching/numbess at the incision sites? Thanks.
July 10, 2017
You look amazing
July 13, 2017
Amazing results! I have a question because I've been looking at your results and this doctor. Do you have an idea of how much the brow lift/forehead lift was alone? I'm interested in that procedure, but I wouldn't need my ears pulled back.
August 9, 2017
First let me say you look fabulous. I'm considering the brow lift. How long of a healing time is there and was there any visible bruising on forehead? Wondering how long to take off of work.
August 16, 2017
I am considering get a brow lift from the same Doctor. How is your scaring along the hairline?
