Everything is pretty much healed now. It took a while but I got there eventually! I am very happy with the results and definitely would recommend it to anyone who wants it done. I pretty much have full sensation back in my head and scalp, it feels a tiny bit tight still but pretty much back to normal! I have been using minoxidil 5% to help the hair grow back at the front along the incision and I now have plenty of baby hairs growing through. I can dye/scrape back/do whatever I want with my hair now so it was deinitely worth the investment!

Finally got the stitches removed! Felt so good getting them out. They said its healing nicely and i kept it clean. Its puckering a bit in places but this is due to fluid and will settle down eventually. Still being really careful, washing with baby shampoo and trying to massage the head regularly to stimulate the nerves. The top of my head is completely numb still which is a strange sensation but I am very pleased with how it looks. Bye bye massive forehead!

I've booked my procedure for July 5th. I've not been given a time but told it will be after 12pm, what time was yours at? Also, is my mum allowed to stay in the hospital and wait for me during the procedure? Thanks

Mine was at 10am but someone else went and had the procedure before me in the morning. Yeah anyone can come and wait for you during the surgery xx

Ah wonderful, thank you! Did you leave with bandages on and if so, who removed them? I'm going to take arnica and vitamin c tablets prior to surgery, would you recommend this?

They take all the bandages off before you leave and they give you a vitamin c formula to put on your hair 2 weeks before the operation and arnica while you are in the hospital so you don't need to get anything! Only take what they recommend too or they will tell you off! lol Are you doing it through LBPS?

Lol ok, I'll do everything by the book. Yes, dr Inglefield. Have got the vitamin c already. Someone on here said that they got told off for using regain, but that was advised by dr Inglefield .

Oh really? I was told to use minoxidil 4% to help my hair grow back. That and baby shampoo for the first 2 weeks. Just see what he says i suppose, he's the expert!

Hi,
You look great! I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about how everything is going now?

Day 2 post op
Feeling a lot better than day 1. Nausea has subsided and i am gradually starting to eat normally again. Pain has gone down a lot (id say its a 3/10 at the moment) washing my hair and having a shower has made me feel a million times better! Starting to slowly feel human again

Hi, it looks amazing, bear with the recovery, the pills really help, you may feel a little worse 2 days after you finish the swelling and antibiotics, don't worry it's not pain it's like flu in the head, Woolley feeling but it passes, don't push yourself to quickly, you may feel ok but it's a massive head surgery and your body needs to recover. It took me almost 3 weeks to feel strong enough to work, depending on your job. Little things like talking on the phone wiped me out (silly!) the sensation on your head is so strange, I described it as a plaster cast thick soooo weird, mines still like it lol but you get used to it, the sensation will come back but can take upto 2 years.....great!!! But I wouldn't change a thing. :-) well done for taking the plunge, your new life begins here, you'll love going out not having to fix your fringed or looking at the pavement when the wind blows lol [RS bleep]

Yes! Thats exactly what i was thinking, my scalp feels sooo weird, like a wig or someone elses head?? How did you feel after your stitches came out? Did it look a lot better after they were removed? Thanks for your advice, i'm gonna make sure to keep rested up. How long ago did you have your surgery? I really hope i'm happy with my results xx

lol it is like a wig, a bloody thick one lol when the stiches came out it looked amazing, it was red for a day but the scar in some places was invisible, honestly it looked soooo much better than I had expected. Funny thing was I went into surgery with a fringe and few days later I realised it was touching my nose lol, my fringe is now almost to my jaw , I can put it behind my ears, put it up and not worry, it's amazing, no bad hair days, you'll love it. I had mine done on 7 january with Chris, you will love it, it looks amazing on your photos :-) xx

Yeah I've cut a side fringe to try and hide the stitches at the moment! Its getting solo itchy now but i guess that means its healing? Still haven't fully gotten my appetite back yet, cant wait til i can eat properly again! Yeah its weird it looks a lot thicker already! Are you getting sensation in your scalp back? Mine feels so weird still. Yours honestly looks amazing healed, it really suits your face xx

Yes I think so, on the right hand side but this seems to be getting a bit better day by day - im hoping when the stitches come out it'll look a bit smoother! I have seen this on quite a few people post op though so its not worried me too much yet xx
