WORTH IT$8,500
I had my hairline lowering procedure done 6 weeks ago with Dr. Christopher Inglefield in London, and I am soooo happy with the results! He is such a great surgeon and his team made me feel really comfortable during the whole procedure.

I haven't experienced any hair loss so far and there is already growing lots of hairs through the incision. The scar is still a little pink due to the blood circulation, as I have been massaging it every single day since the removal of the sutures, but it's not too noticable. The only thing that's bothering me is the scar on the sides around the temples. It's still very pink in these areas, and I hope it will get better. However, it's easy to cover up with make up.

I'm going back to London on Tuesday for my 6 week check-up and I'm looking forward to Dr. Inglefield's opinion on my recovery.

So if you have any questions, please feel free to comment or DM me.

February 27, 2017
hi, thanks for your message! I have just uploaded a couple of pictures I took today. Are you planning to get it done?
February 28, 2017
Yeah I'm thinking about it. I've been thinking about it for a few years now I'm just really scared :/
February 28, 2017
you don't need to be scared! :) Dr. Inglefield and his team are very skilled. What are you scared about the most?
February 28, 2017

hi looks amazing, Am considering whether to do this in LA or in London. I live in Egypt. did you have baby hairs prior and are they still there? ( to cover the scar ) though i can't see any scar
May 5, 2017
thank you! yes I did have some baby hairs on the left side and they are still there. With Dr Inglefield's incision technique the hairs will grow right through the scar, so it's basically invisible when it's healed. :)

I live in Leeds and am considering going to London to get this operation however I'm worried about traveling after the operation as I'd be on the train for over 3 hours, do you think this would be a bad idea straight after the operation or would you recommend staying in a hotel? Also, once you had the operation how soon after did you have to go back for any check ups or for your stitches to be taken out for example?

It really depends on how your body reacts to the anaesthesia. I was very sick and didn't have much energy on the day of the surgery. I'd recommend staying in a hotel for a night and going back the next day. I had to take a flight back home the next day and everything went smoothly. You will have to go back after 10 days to get the stitches removed, and then again after 6 weeks and 3 months for the check ups.

Here are my before and after pictures. My forehead was at 8cm before the surgery, now it is 5cm and I feel like it's the perfect size for my face. It also made my hair look a lot thicker (I have thin hair).

April 18, 2017
thank you! I don't remember exactly but it was around £6'800

Hi, so many people are using this same Dr, he must be good! Can I ask. When measuring your forehead, where do you start the measurement from? Thanks! X
May 1, 2017
Also forgot to add to ask, how soon after the surgery did they say you can exercise?
May 3, 2017
hey there! the measurement starts from the top of your eyebrows (where the inner corners of your eyes are located). you can exercise again after 6 weeks post-op :)
May 3, 2017
and yes, Dr. Inglefield does an amazing job!! I'd choose him again, if I planned on getting other things done :)

The scar is looking really good. Congratulations! Did you doctor mention anything about the temple areas?
March 2, 2017
thank you! Yes, he said that it's normal if some areas take longer to heal, but it's healing really well, so I just need to be patient.
