Amazing Experience and So Happy with my New Forehead!

Going to Dr. Attenello was the best decision I ever made regarding my body.

As a 24 y.o female with a high hairline, I always felt insecure about my forehead since I was in middle school and did not ever think a hairline lowering procedure would ever be possible. When I was 19, I learned that this surgery is indeed possible but was too young and scared to even consider getting it done. As years gone by, I always hated how my forehead looked in photos or when I was in a pool so reconsidered the surgery again. I researched a few doctors and had my first consultation on 01/09/23 with Dr. Attenello and knew she was the one for me because of her professionalism and her understanding.

I decided to pull the trigger and put down a deposit for the surgery and scheduled it for 02/14/2023 (yesterday). I did have to do some lab work before the surgery but that was easy I just went to my local quest diagnostic.

The day of the the surgery, I was SO nervous and couldn't believe what I was going to do to myself as this surgery is a bit unknown and harder to explain than a mere nose job for example. The staff at the surgery center were all so kind and made the process so easy. I met with Dr. A and she drew the marking for how low she will try bring my hairline. She assured me everything will be ok and I will be going into the operating room. Once I layed down in the operating room I felt such anxiety and Dr. A came and rubbed my head and that calmed me down right away. Next thing I knew, I woke up groggy with no head pain and the staff waited with me until my mother came to pick me up.

The first day is the WORST. Lots of pressure in the head once the pain meds wear off and the head wrap was so uncomfortable and I was counting down the hours until I can get it off. Def 10/10 pain for me for the first few hours but it does simmer down in the night maybe like 2 am for me?

The next morning which is today (02/15) I went to Dr. A office and the head wrap was removed and she gave me some post op instructions and advised next Monday I can get my stitches out! No pain as of today but I am not comfortable yet to step out as I feel lethargic.

I'll update this review when my stitches come out!

Forgot to add some photos to my review. There’s a photo of my hairline before you can see how it slopes up which I never liked. I’m currently 5 days post
Op and getting my stitches out on Monday which will be so exciting! The first day was really difficult but got easier once the head wrap was out. Right now I have no pain and have not experienced any hair loss.

Wow, I have no regrets getting this done as I am totally in love with my results! I’m well over a month post op and have baby hairs growing through my scar just like Dr. Attenello had said would happen. The top of my head is still quite numb and just feels very hard on top but that should go down soon.

So happy about the surgery and if anyone has questions feel free to message me!
