I Had an Absolutely INCREDIBLE Experience!
WORTH IT
My experience with Dr. Epstein was absolutely phenomenal. From my first email to his office to actually meeting him in person and having my forehead reduction performed both Dr. Epstein and his staff were always professional, prompt, personable, and honest.
Dr. Epstein actually loves what he does which is essentially helping people like me regain their confidence and simply being happy about what they see in the mirror each day. It meant a lot to me that Dr. Epstein actually took the time to listen to me and understand what exactly bothered me about my forehead. By doing this, he was actually able to lower my hairline even more than he initially thought and even though my hair is damaged from wearing hair extensions and wigs he was still able to conceal the incision line within my newly created hairline.
All I can say is that here I am 48 hours post op and I absolutely LOVE my results. I have zero pain and only very mild swelling. The swelling is only around my hairline and does not show in my face. With that said, I can get creative with a pretty scarf around my hair and otherwise look "normal".
Simply put, yes, without hesitation, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Dr. Epstein!

So glad you're happy with your results.. When i had a consult with him about 7 years ago, they were so aggressive with their marketing/follow up, it turned me off.. Congrats though :)

Pictures before, immediately after, and 4 days after my Forehead Reduction!
HAPPY is an understatement!!! I am 4 days out and wanted to post some pics to give anyone interested an idea of what my case was like. I hope this helps. I do have to return in a few months for part 2. That will consist of hair grafting to fill in the thin/spots lacking hair. As you might imagine, I can't wait!! I am extremely thrilled! Everyone's case is different obviously, but even if I was not going back for hair grafting I would seriously be SO happy with my new look already. Just think, I even have mild swelling and I STILL look incredible considering what I started with lol! Thank you Dr. Epstein!!

Great results! Are you going to do the FUE or FUT? I did my surgery with him 2yrs ago

3 weeks post op
Viola! Very, very minimal scarring three week out. In fact I had to put the camera super close just so oh could see this much. In person you have to literally have your eyes on my forehead to see it. ABSOLUTELY YES I am MORE than pleased! My guess will be that in another three weeks I will need a magnifying glass to see any signs of my forehead reduction. HAPPY!!!

Wow that is amazing. You literally experienced near perfect results and recovery. Were there any complications? Hair loss? Numbing? Etc. thank you!

Hi! Thank you for the very kind compliment. I did not have any hair loss, in fact, even with having tight coily hair, I am already noticing growth that will eventually cover the very minimal scar. It has only been 3 weeks so the "scar" that I do have will likely diminish completely. In regards to numbness, yes, I did experience numbness and I still have some residual numbness. It is not extreme and I massage my scalp 2-3 times a day which I am finding helps relieve the numb feeling with each day that passes. So overall, I had an absolutely smooth forehead reduction and I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Dr. Epstein!

This looks amazing!! I'm considering the surgery and also have a similar hair texture to you. How soon afterwards did you feel comfortable putting plaits in your hair?
I'd like to cover up a few weeks up while the scar heals
Good luck to you as you continue to heal! Keep us updated on the process!
