Life-changing, So Happy So Far

It’s been 11 months since my surgery which is actually crazy to me. I am so happy I did it and I don’t worry about my forehead looking big anymore. It’s such a relief. I know everyone wants to see the scar so here are my pics. The white is the scar obviously. Like I said, more noticeable on my right side. I cover it with hairline powder if I’m worried about it. But at the same time I don’t really care. If you pull your hair back a lot like in a ponytail (which I wouldn’t do anyways cuz my hair is thick and I don’t want traction alopecia), then it might bother you to have the white scar. My advice to anyone thinking of getting this surgery is to make sure you keep your goals realistic. No plastic surgery can guarantee 100% perfect, natural results. You have to be prepared for the outcome and don’t rely on your surgeon to inform you of every single risk out there. Google is your friend and you are in charge of your life. As for me, happy forehead, happy life :)

just wanted to update with some pics now that it's been almost 4 months since my procedure. everything is going great. still mostly just super itchy on the top because of the nerves regrowing. the area where i had hair loss in the center of my hairline is growing back and you can see how the baby hairs are growing straight down almost which has been kind of annoying but expected. you can't even really see my scar at all especially on my left side because all my baby hairs cover it. my right side never really had baby hairs so its a little bit more prominent but you still can't even really see that well unless someone was looking. suuuuuper happy!

I'm super happy still and it looks very natural! No one has really noticed which is what I wanted. A lot of my small bald spots are filling in, but there's still some tiny areas where I just see scalp which bothers me. But I'm trying to be positive. There are a bunch of new baby hairs that are sticking straight down. One thing that I've noticed in the last month is a crazy amount of dandruff. I normally have dandruff anyways but I am having serious flakes. Overall the top of my scalp seems so itchy sometimes and my sensation in the top of my scalp has come back a ton! Sometimes if I raise my eyebrows or itch a certain part of my scalp, I will have these burning/tingling sensations so I know it's nerves regenerating and all that. It has been quite annoyingly itchy though, like really feels crazy itchy sometimes. Still worth it though! also, I honestly have not been doing much for scar care. My scar is mostly hidden, the right side is more prominent but it still needs to heal somewhat. the silicone strips make my skin so itchy too! I am really so happy I didn't have way worse side effects. I was absolutely terrified about being bald after surgery. I am almost at the 4 month point, so there still may be more of a chance for telogen effluvium. But Idk, I feel like I might have had a little bit of it already because of all the shedding I had. I still shed a bit but my hair is still noticeably thick. Not sure what else to say but super happy.
