My Only Regret Is Not Doing It Sooner

WORTH IT
I truly cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Gal and his entire team. This surgery has genuinely changed my life and given me a level of confidence that I didn’t have before. Looking back at my before photos compared to where I am now, I’m still amazed by the difference.

Dr. Gal’s passion for what he does really shows. He’s incredibly talented and meticulous, but also so kind and attentive. Throughout the entire experience, I felt like I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about giving me the best possible result.

I know cosmetic surgery is such a personal decision, but for me, this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Dr. Gal didn’t just change my hairline, he changed the way I feel when I look in the mirror. I will forever be grateful to him for that.

Thank you, Dr. Gal!!

Hii sweetie! I’m so happy for you Can I ask you is the scar noticeable to the people around you or is it even noticeable to you?
Honestly, I can’t see any visible scarring along my hairline at all. Even my family is amazed because you really can’t tell where the incision was. Hair literally grows through the incision line and covers it so well.

I do have a small scar near my temples, but I think that may have been from putting too much pressure on that area while sleeping after surgery. I’m completely fine with it though because my hair covers it and it’s not noticeable unless I actually look for it.

I just wish RealSelf didn’t pixelate the photos so much when you upload them, because if you could see the original quality, you’d really be able to see how amazingly my hairline healed. Of course everyone heals differently, but I’m extremely happy with how mine turned out!
If you’re thinking about getting a forehead reduction, just get it done! I wanted this surgery for probably eight years, and one of the biggest reasons I kept putting it off was because I was so worried about the scar and how long it would take before I could go out in public without the incision being obvious.

Looking back, I wish I hadn’t let that stop me because my healing was honestly so much better than I expected. Literally 2 weeks post surgery, I was already out grocery shopping and you couldn’t even tell where the incision was. I was so worried beforehand that I’d have this noticeable scar along my hairline.
