Scar Pics (Day 15)

WORTH IT$15,900
My hairline scar is healing and I am recovering nicely. It is still pretty red, uneven, and bumpy, but it is definitely getting better every day. There are already a ton of hairs growing through it as well, which I think are from my previous FUE hair transplant 4 months ago.
Anyway, I've attached a bunch of photos, let me know if you have any questions!

Those results are amazing! Would you mind me asking how much just the hairline lowering procedure would've cost alone?

Thanks!
It would have been around $10.5k , including the anesthesia fees, medication, and everything else.

Did you need a scalp expander and what was your scalp laxity? You look so amazing your chin made a huge differnce too :)

My scalp was very tight but I did not need an expander. I originally wanted to go lower but couldn't because of the tightness, but I am happy with where it ended up.
Thanks! :)
Thanks! :)

Day 9 Update
r000000August 28, 2015
Greetings Realself!
I just got off the plane and am finally back home after a long week of recovering. I think recovery was a bit longer for me, since my forehead was tight, and I lost a lot of blood during the procedure. Also, the chin implant caused the skin inside of my mouth to tighten, which caused some pain as my wisdom tooth rubbed up against it.
Overall, I would rate the pain throughout the recovery between 3-4. The worst part for me was the huge amount of swelling and bruising around my eyes, which have finally cleared up today (day 9). My hairline scar is surprisingly very hard to notice, apart from a bit more bruising and scabbing. Dr. A mentioned that it will get worse before it gets better though, and about 1 month out it will look its worst.
The good thing is, I finally feel comfortable going into public without sunglasses, and just a minor change to my hairstyle to cover my scar.
Overall, I am extremely happy with my decision to have these procedures. I think my face looks much more balanced now, and I have received a lot of complements from my friends. I will go back into work in a couple of days, but I highly doubt anyone will guess that I have had surgery.
Hopefully I've covered a lot of info you want to know here, but post a comment if you have any other questions. Reviews on this site really helped in my decision to go through with this life-changing procedure, so I am happy to help anyone else considering!

Wow! You look like a model! The forehead reduction definitely did you good :)
Did the doctor explain anything about the possibility of shock hair loss? This is the thing that concerns me the most because I've read that sometimes it's permanent.

Thanks :)
He did mention it, but he said it is very uncommon, and any shedding is only temporary. I have never heard about permanent hairloss...but you may want to double check with another doctor to be sure.

You look amazing!! Did Dr. A say why the scar would look worse before it gets better? Did he say what to expect around 1 month out?
