Hello! I think it has been almost a year since I was last on here - life just took over. I am 2 years out from the procedure now and I am doing great! Still have no regrets about doing the procedure. I almost never think about what I looked like before and just go about my daily life. I am extremely happy. I know that most people on here like to see pictures (I am the same). Hopefully I will get around to doing it soon . . . but in the mean time I look the same as my last few pictures!

Hello! I am a little over 6 months post surgery and I feel great! The scar is even less noticeable to my eyes and I feel extremely satisfied and confident with how it looks. I am couldn't be happier that I did this.

wow! Amazing! Cannot see the scar at all! You must be so happy!

I am extremely happy with the results! I feel so free and secure in my appearance and the mental and emotional stress I used to have pre-surgery is gone. Even the little bit of my scar that is still slightly visible (it is hard to see in the pic) I can just cover with a little bit of makeup no problem!

You look really great. The way your hair is growing in around the scar looks very natural. Dr. Aharonov is the best surgeon to do this procedure in my opinion!

Thank you! He is truly an artist. Each person heals at a different rate. My scar took a little bit longer to get where it is, but I couldn't be happier!

I am about 3 months s/p this procedure. I also have fine hair, and the thinning on top of my head bothers me. The other thing that bothers me is my scar is indented. I hope it gets better. I'm glad you're happy with your results!

I am sorry to hear that! I did not experience any thinning on top of my head that I know of. My hair was already quite thin before and it seemed to have about the same density afterwards. When you say indented do you mean that it is concave (goes "in" rather than sticking out or protruding)? My scar was a little bit raised even at three months out. Now it is almost entirely flat. I hope things work out for you!

You look great. Would you feel comfortable posting a picture of you're whole face with your hair down, comparable to your first pic (eyes blacked out, etc). Just nice to see how the whole face shape looks after this procedure

Thank you! I will update some more pictures that are close shots and wide shots to get a better idea of the facial proportions

Looks great! Are/ did you put anything on the incision site?
February 29, 2016
I am actually not putting anything on the incision site (just sunscreen and my normal facial moisturizer). Dr. Aharonov told me that I don't need to use anything, although if I wanted to use something (such as bio-oil) that would be fine.

Your results give me hope! My forehead is as high as yours was so it is great knowing this CAN be done without an expander.
Which hotel did you stay in? I see that your father went with you. Do you think you could have did it all on your own? I was thinking of going by myself so I would use Uber or just rent a car.
Thanks sharing your experience!

I am so sorry that I am just now seeing this! I stayed at a Hilton near LAX. It was about a 20 to 30 min commute to Dr. Aharonov's office. I do not think that I could have done it on my own. I was extremely out of it after surgery (had to be wheeled out because I was so woozy from the anesthesia ) and my dad helped me by getting food for me, making ice bags, etc. I highly suggest that you have someone with you at least for the first few days. While everyone recovers a little differently, I know that it would have been very very hard the first few days without my dad. All the best!

As for renting a car - there is no way I would have been able to drive the first week (mostly due to my very limited neck range of motion - I could barely turn it to check blind spots and was tender, and I was in no condition to drive the first day due to anesthesia)

Any new photos? Glad you're doing so well!
April 12, 2016
Sorry for the late response! I am doing very well still. I am planning on taking some new pics this week and putting them up this weekend.
