Now on pain medication because of my botched surgery

I recently saw a dermatologist who put me on gabapentin in hopes it will help with the pain I’m still experiencing 3 years post op. He also was unable to explain why there are large, hard, painful lumps under the scar line.
Avoid Dr. Attenello at all costs unless you want to be on addictive pain meds for the rest of your life, with other doctors at a loss for how to things turned out like this.

Permanent damage that can't be fixed by other surgeons
xbx_1September 17, 2023
I'm now at ~2 years and 3 months and my life is still at a standstill because of what Dr. Attenello did to me. I still have severe pain and avoid going in public as much as possible because of the stares and comments I get. I can probably never get my hair wet in front of anyone ever again and the wind gives me severe anxiety. I've reached out to a number of the top hairline revision surgeons in the US and they've told me that because so much was taken away, they cannot fix what was done. Looks like I will be stuck hiding indoors for the rest of my life. Really think about if you want to go with a surgeon who has botched someone so badly even other surgeons can't fix it. She will take your money and your life.

Hi. Have you thought of a very small hair transplant to “soften” your hairline? Please don’t lose hope, believe me, I’m in a similar situation but I’m hanging in there. I recently got a hair transplant iver my scar and I’m hoping it provides a more natural look. I know you said your forehead is already too small though so I am sorry, not sure if my suggestion is of any help. Please hang in there, don’t let your hairline dictate your life. Easier said than done, I know, as someone going through a similar thing. But I can promise you, without hesitation, that your hairline doesn’t look bad at all from what I see.

2 years post-op and still horribly disfigured
xbx_1June 10, 2023
2 years later and I am still severely depressed after Dr. Attenello left me disfigured. The scar only looks worse and worse. I still have horrible pain and severe bouts of itching and inflammation. I still spend most of my days alone laying in bed because I can't bear being seen by others. I cannot do anything anymore. Just a reminder to stay far far away from her because she is dishonest and clearly doesn't have any understanding of facial structure/symmetry. No sane person would ever put this hairline on a cis woman. If I can save even one person's life from her, then it'll all be worth pushing through the pain every day.
