ORIGINAL POST
my surgery is scheduled

hi everyone!
i have never written a review like this, so i don't really know where to start. my surgery is scheduled in a little over two weeks. my surgery date is march 8 to be exact. this is the first invasive surgery i've ever had, so i'm very nervous.
i'm having a hairline lowering procedure and a brow lift with dr. jason dudas in san francisco. initially, i sought a couple other doctors in regard to having a brow lift and they suggested a hairline lowering, especially since any sort of brow lift would push my hairline back even further. so, i sought consultation with dr. dudas because he specializes in the procedure. he's a great listener and very kind. he answered all of my questions and talked over the procedure with me thoroughly. i was even 30 minutes late for my appointment because i couldn't find parking in the city and he still waited for me! very kind.
i believe i'm currently at 7.5cm. i have a widows peak that i believe is as low as 6/6.25cm. i addressed that i would like to have it lowered to the widows peak by 1-1.25cm, which is what he agreed upon and i'll probably talk about more in my pre op. my scalp has normal laxity, so i hope it won't be an issue. i'm not seeking a huge reduction because i'm more focused on the brow lift and i still want to look like me. i just want to slightly lower my hairline and lift my brows.
i have my pre op on wednesday (2/22) and i'm super nervous about the whole thing. i see a lot of reviews about hairline lowering; a majority of them are positive, but then i see the negative ones reporting lots of hair loss (sometimes permanent) and terrible scarring. all and all, it doesn't make me feel better. i've been a bit uneasy as the surgery date gets closer and closer. a lot of patients have reported nausea and vomiting with the pain meds as well. so, i expect a difficult recovery process.
i'm just praying i'm lucky.
overall, i trust my doctor, especially since i'm not going to have a very large reduction. also, dr. dudas specializes in hairline lowering and he's very skilled with incisions/scarring. i've seen a lot of his post op photos and a majority of his incisions are practically invisible by 3 months.
i'll give more updates after my pre op! xo

pre op update

i had my pre op last wednesday! dr. dudas and i discussed my aesthetic desires. i spent more time going over the pre operative packet in regards to what not to consume. i have to refrain from foods, herbs, medications, and liquids that may thin my blood. other than that, i've been approved to continue taking my current medications except for the morning of surgery; also, you cannot eat or drink later than midnight the night of surgery. i am not going to eat or drink hours earlier to be safe.
more updates to come the morning of surgery! xo
