Dream come true - this procedure changed my entire life

Not much to report other than I seriously have forgotten about life before surgery. My confidence is through the roof. I never flinch at wind, never hide my forehead and don’t worry about the scarring. I gave up on trying to darken the scars. Not one person who knows me in real life has ever questioned the new forehead. I went to a new stylist who did comment that my hairline was really straight “like the kardashians” and asked if I waxed my hairline. My long term stylist never mentions my forehead or the scars. Hair never grew through on the sides and it doesn’t matter. I have ZERO regrets other than I wish I would have known about this surgery and Dr. Gal 10 years ago.

I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for the journey and this surgery. Since my last update, I have had ZERO issues or complaints. No pain, soreness, sensitivity, keloids or problems. I honestly forget that I’ve had surgery. The scar is visible with the hypopigmentation. It doesn’t bother me at all. The hair never grew through most parts of it but Dr. Gal did such an amazing job it doesn’t stand out in my opinion. I haven’t had one single person ever question it. My family members or friends have never even asked me or noticed. I used to be afraid of windy days or swimming. This surgery freed me of my biggest insecurity and my confidence has elevated in all aspects. Just do it! 1000000% recommend Dr. Gal and this surgery. It will change your life.

I am 11 months post-op and I must say that this procedure changed my entire life. Up until 2 months before scheduling the surgery, I never knew this surgery existed. I was able to schedule my appointment with Faye on the weekend for that following Monday or Tuesday. She was the most kind person, who answered all of my questions. Dr. Gal is a straight shooter, up-front, professional and really does under-promises and over delivers. I wanted the absolute biggest reduction possible to get rid of my 9 c.m. dome and he told me in no uncertain terms, I was foolish to go that low (in the most professional way possible). He and I spent quite some time the morning of the surgery going back and forth about the spot. Literally 5 seconds before I went under, I told him that I would trust him and go with his position.
THANK GOD I LISTENED TO HIM BECAUSE IT IS PERFECT!!! If I would have gone any lower, I would have looked like Teresa Guidice haha. TRUST HIM and his expertise. This is likely the first time you've gone through this surgery, but he is truly the consummate professional who has done this surgery over 1,000+ times. The only issue that I had is that I felt like I was not getting enough guidance about what I needed to do after the surgery. It was concerning to me reading about all of the different options and Dr. Gal really wasn't interested in any of them. Now that I'm on the other side of it, I will say that he was right - I would just heal on my own (with the exception of needing steroid injection in the scar once - but that wasn't surprising since I naturally keloid). I have suffered from hypopigmentation and he recommended Latisse which has helped to darken the scar. Other than those first couple of weeks of being in terrible pain, I have had no major complaints.
All in all, I wrap by saying the pain that I felt from this surgery was almost as excruciating as childbirth - and it lasted for 2.5 weeks. It was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. Dr. Gal increased the dosage on my pain meds without an issue and that helped some but don't underestimate the amount of pain you'll be in.
For 34 years I suffered with my forehead being the biggest insecurity of my life. Literally, the day after my surgery when I saw the results, I have never once thought about covering my forehead or being worried about the wind lol. Dr. Gal did such an impeccable job that my closest friends and family still do not know that I had surgery. This was truly the best thing I could do for my confidence. Free yourself sis and get this surgery. It will change your life. Dr. Gal did in one step, what I believe most doctors would have needed a 2 step procedure for. He charges a premium for his surgery and I don't doubt that he's worth every penny of that $12,500.00. I would never hesitate recommending the great Dr. Gal! If you can afford him, the choice is obvious!
