ORIGINAL POST

Greetings Realself! I am a 27 year old male...

Greetings Realself!
I am a 27 year old male blessed (or cursed?) with a huge forehead (~8CM), and I have finally decided to do something about it. I have had two FUE procedures in the past to reconstruct my hairline (due to male pattern baldness), so fortunately my hairline is stable enough now that I can move forward with a forehead reduction. I chose Dr. Aharonov based on location, and the fact that he will be able to lower my hairline a few CM further than the other doctors I consulted with.
Alongside this, I have decided to add a chin augmentation since it is a fairly straightforward procedure, and I think it will help with my slightly recessed chin. I have never thought of myself as unattractive, but I am hoping these procedures will better align my face with how I'd like.
My surgery is set for Tue 08/18, and I'm looking forward to see how things turn out. I will keep you all updated with my progress as I go along.

Good luck I'll be following your progress. Also did you ever consider lowering your hairline with a fue transplant?
August 15, 2015
I have, but the amount of grafts it would take to lower that much AND get the density I want would be quite a lot.

Also, the doctors who performed my previous FUEs warned against expending too many grafts on that, as I may need them in the future if my pattern baldness continues.

Day of treatment

And we're done!

And we're done. The surgery took around 3 hours. I felt super disoriented immediately afterwards but that was due to the anesthesia. There is very little pain on my forehead, no pain on my chin, but a decent amount of pain on the back of my head. The doctor said he was able to lower to where we agreed upon, but my upper left area was a little bit tight, so it may be a bit higher there.

I was told to ice my forehead as much as possible. I have a follow up appt tomorrow to remove the bandages, so I will keep you all posted!

As a side note, I can already see better projection in my chin through the bandages, so that is a big plus!
