- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Over two years post op and unhappy with my final results
Hi,
I want to be honest in this post and say that there is not a day that goes by that I do not regret my decision to do this surgery. I regret it very much and wish in the end that I did not go through with it. My forehead is so scarred that it is very hard for me to cover. I have to wear a hat every time I go out because my hair barely covers the bald patches and the skin is too thin and sensitive to wear sunscreen on them since they start to bleed when I wash it off. I can never wear my hair back because my scar/bald patches to me are quite disfiguring and they make me very self conscious about it :-(. I also can not get my hair wet/go swimming since my hair is quite thin in the front and the bald areas show very easily. People who have seen me without a hat sometimes ask me what happened as if there was some kind of accident and I do not exactly know what to say. I am currently suffering with depression and I know it is not entirely due to my forehead situation but feeling sad about how my forehead looks especially since it's my face does not help. I do not feel confident in myself and find am quite down about the outcome. Dr Jumaily had told me that he could do hair grafts in March this year but I can not afford the revision unfortunately at this time. I am not sure when I will be able to get the revision :-( At this point all I would like is a few hair grafts in the very front small bald patch/scar and not even care about the rest - like the very large bald area. Anyways I thought I would share this update. Sorry that it is not a positive one but I wanted to be realistic in what happened to me.

Hair transplants
Hi everyone,
I met with my surgeon (Skype) to discuss future treatment options for fixing what has happened to my hairline. He gave me a couple different options but in the end we both decided it is best to do 2500 grafts in the front along my scar and bad bald areas and just hope for the best. I really Hope most of the hair grafts take to the scarred areas. If the bald area doesn’t take then I hope the rest of the scar across the front and other side takes. I am unsure of the exact procedure date but will update on here when it’ll happen!
Fingers crossed... I’d love to be done with this!!

Hair loss/scar update photo
Hi.
I thought I should update everyone who comes across my review with a photo of my present scarring situation. I still lose hairs everyday - definitely not as bad but still do. It’s hard to tell if it’s the normal amount of hair loss that you’d get day to day because I’m hyper aware of the hair loss maybe I over exaggerate the hair loss? Not sure. Just sad with this whole procedure. My scar is so wide that my forehead isn’t much smaller than before the procedure but then I have terrible scarring on top of a large forehead.
I hope to have hair grafts all along my hairline in the future. Not sure if I’ll go with my surgeon again for any future procedure to fix this... sometimes I wonder if I should ask for money back? But I’m too nervous to even ask :-(. Hair grafts might not even work in the scar tissue so I’m worried about that... I wish I had gone with grafts in the first place.

Dr Jumaily is a nice person and Melody is nice as well, I just had a bad result with my forehead reduction unfortunately. I am quite sad about my results and regret my decision to have the procedure done. I can never wear my hair back, go swimming and get my hair wet and I always have to wear a hat when outdoors because the bald area is very sensitive. The scarring I have on my forehead and bald spot is very saddening and I wish I never went through with the procedure.
