Dr. Eppley Changed my Life

I am a 24 year old male. What I had done was reduction of the frontal bone of my forehead using a drill. I became self conscious about it mainly starting in the 9th grade, people would constantly tell me how big my forehead was and make jokes and laugh about it everyday to the point where I started skipping class in the bathroom just to avoid it. Ended up getting kicked out of one of the best High schools in my city because of it. After that, I luckily went to a free dress school where I wore a hat everyday throughout the rest of my High school days. Once I graduated, I only worked jobs where I could wear hats like McDonald’s and this steel plant wear we could wear hard hats. I never left my house without a hat on. I ended up getting a hair transplant 3 years ago to reduce the prominence of my forehead but I didn’t realize I would need multiple transplants to get the results I needed. The thing about that is you have to wait a year in between each hair transplant. So when I didn’t get the results, I had to go through another year of wearing a hat and staying in the house, only leaving to go to work. It was almost unbearable and the only thing that kept me going was the hope that the next transplant would be the one to do it. I had 3 hair transplants in total so imagine spending a whole year in the house multiple years in a row and missing out on summers just waiting on your next procedure date to fix the problem. I stopped hanging out with friends because I didn’t want to be the only one in the group always wearing a hat. After my 3rd and last hair transplant, I thought the problem was solved. My forehead looked smaller but what I saw in the mirror wasn’t what other people saw. I couldn’t see the dimensions they saw. After my last transplant, I gained the courage to go outside without a hat for the first time in 8 years. I ended up going to Walmart. I remember being in an aisle and as I was walking out of it, this girl maybe a couple years older than me was walking in the aisle. We made eye contact then she instantly gasped and looked down. I then kept walking past her and as I’m walking away she says “Boy yo big head”. Then as she says that, another woman who was outside of the aisle towards where I was walking stopped in the middle of the walkway, turned around and just stared at my forehead for several seconds. After that, I went back to my car, drove home and starting wearing a hat everyday again. Stuff like that is literally what caused me to start wearing hats because random strangers would just look at my forehead and laugh and mumble “big head ass” as I walked past. I couldn’t have conversations with people without them staring at my forehead with a puzzled look. You would think I fell asleep at a college party and someone drew an explicit image on my forehead how they looked at it. Those were a couple instances but i could write a book on all the things that have been said to me throughout the years. Going through that as a kid scarred me and stuck with me throughout adulthood. I couldn’t imagine living my entire life with this forehead being stared at, laughed at and insulted by strangers. I ended up having my procedure done with Dr. Eppley about 2 weeks ago and it has already changed my life. He reduced it about 4-5 mm, it’s crazy how little of a reduction can drastically change how your forehead is perceived. When I go in public without a hat, people don’t stare or laugh anymore. Dr. Eppley and his staff were amazing and I would recommend him to anyone getting any type of augmentation, or forehead procedure. Thanks for changing my life Dr. Eppley.
