Thanks for the straight full face pic. After seeing it I agree it's too low. Is the skin on your forehead still rippled? Did Aharonov say before surgery how low he would bring your hairline? I'm sorry this happened to you. It isn't hideous- just too low.

Hey I'm Sorry you don't like your results. It's hard when it's your own face. I've had bad juvederm injections that jacked my face up and stuff but luckily it wore off. Yours was surgery and I don't want to make you feel bad but I think your forehead looks fine I think your eyebrows are too thick and that's the only thing masculine about it. The forehead line isn't masculine to me. That's my opinion good luck on your quest to get this straightened out the way you want it.

Is the discolored part scarring or rippling by your hairline?

I do agree straight across hairline is not desirable

HI I'm trying to make sure I understand. Are you saying that he lowered your hairline too much (In other words, did he make your forehead too little?)

I am thinking about going to him and I am trying to understand the problems you are having before I make that leap.



For what it's worth just looking at your before and afters I think he did an amazing job. Please let me know.

Yes he rushed and I tried to touch like to tell him he said don't touch and was rushed go diff doc he is very young and not expiernced. He doesn't listen

your after photo looks really good! It doesn't seem too small at all, not even a little. Don't rush into another surgery. Maybe you need time to adjust to the new you. It looks so good, especially compared to the before photo.

Can't really see that it's too small. The face should be in thirds.. distance from chin to under nose same as middle of eyebrows to hairline?

Was Dr. Aharonov willing to accommodate you and try to fix things once you realized you were unhappy with the results?

HAVE YOU TALKED TO DR. KABAKER? HE IS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF THIS PROCEDURE.

That's the thing I went back 3 times to dr.a for revision or help since I was unhappy (although tries to fake being happy at first, I did not learn to love) although our visits were pleasant we had no suggestion just oh well give it time I'm going with Toby Mayer for revision

Skin is more lax now not as taut wasn't pulled up correctly also lots of thinning at scar site
This procedure is too new and unnecessary really my advise? Just do hair grafts I was too embarrassed too and now this a high forehead is MORE youth desirable in all of Asia and what top models and crbrities have in common

The thinning is a possible side effect- new hair should start coming in through the scar soon (at least this is what I have gathered from reading the other reviews.).

When are you having your revision? I will be surprised if a doctor would be willing to do ANY kind of revision surgery ON someone who isn't even 6 months out from the original surgery. Too much risk involved.



I know you got a brow lift at the same time as the hairline lowering. Are you happy with it? I want a brow lift too that's why i'm curious.

I would also advise you to chill on th surgery for a bit. If your hair is thinning, use 5% minoxidil and it will grow in fuller, trust me. But people who have many surgeries can end up ruining their look forever. Google celebrities whose bodies have been ruined by plastic surgery, you will find hundreds and hundreds. Also, where do you get all of your money for these surgeries, if you don't mind me asking, because you must be rich or something lol. I'm having trouble saving up for a $10,500 a FUE hair transplant.

I don't know what you're talking about. Your forehead was huge before and now it looks normal. Your English seems off so maybe you just weren't able to communicate well?

Oh snap! That's was rude

Sorry :( I should have worded that better. I meant to say that I agree with some of the others here that the results look good and maybe she's irrationally panicking and needs to give it time. I don't think the doctor deserves to be trashed.
