Been getting lots of messages lately on the procedure. I’ve been so incredibly happy with my results. I went from a 7cm forehead to a 5cm forehead. I had zero hair loss during the entire process. My hair is thick and my scar is barely visible. My results are optimal and I could not thank Dr Sidle enough for my beautiful results. If you’re thinking about going through with this procedure my best advice would be to trust the process. And there’s only so much Dr Sidle can do for each patient depending on scalp elasticity and hair integrity. My hair before the procedure was thick and healthy and it is the same way today. Luckily he was able to lower 2cm with my scalp elasticity. And yes I still have elasticity in my scalp. It’s like I never had surgery with how well everything recovered. I will attach photos to help those out who are pondering the thought of surgery! Next I’ll have him fix my nose lol;)

So happy!

Dr. Sidle is the best. He gave me exactly what I wanted and I am so happy with my results! Everything is healing wonderfully, (I'm also a fast healer) and I feel great! All I'm doing now is putting a scar gel on it twice a day. I am exactly three weeks post op!

Here's another before and after so far

Dr. Sidle and his physician assistant Erin Hoke were awesome and very accommodating! They made me feel comfortable with the procedure and went over everything thoroughly. His website may not have many before and after photos but when you go in for a consultation he shows you so many of them and let me tell you, they're all beautiful! He trained along side Dr. Sheldon Kabacker(sp?) which is one of the top hairline lowering doctors. Dr. Sidle's office is super busy and he performs the hairline procedure quite often! ( didn't know it was so popular) Extremely nice and gives you honest opinion on what would look best for your face.
