Female 41 Years - London, GB

It's been 3 months 2 1/2 weeks since I had the operation and all is going well. After about 4 weeks after surgery I did have some hair loss in places, but nothing to severe and I was able to style hair differently to cover it up. I was so scared of this happening as I have fine hair and losing even just a little was too much!! But I am pleased to say that there is new hair growth in these spots and there is new hair growth in the new hairline, disguising my already faint scar. I've posted a couple of photos just so you can see the new growth. I still cannot feel a thing on the top of my head, it it could take upto 2 years before the sensation returns, a small price to pay for the change in my life :-D. I can now go out with my head held high and feeling the wind blowing through my hair, and if I get up late and have no time to fix my bloody fringe with spray, those bad hair days have gone, as now I can just pull it back woohoo, something people take for granted, but I'm grateful now every day. I would definitely recommend this surgery to anyone who is very unhappy with their forehead and if it controls their daily lives, we all have to understand that hair loss is a possibility but in time it will return ;-) xx

Sorry for not updating sooner. I've been back to work and time has flown. Anyway I'm glad my post has been helping some of you with making decisions. I've tried to be honest and as helpful as I can. I have posted some photos taken today to show you how my scar has been healing. I have been really luck but I have been very good with maintaining lymphatic drainage and not being around people when they are smoking along with every evening massaging c e ferulic antioxidant into the hairline, but it's paid off :-)

As mentioned I have had a small amount of hair loss, but it's to be expected due to trauma to the scalp. It scared me as I have fine hair and thought losing some would be quite dramatic, but to be honest you cannot notice and I have already got new hair growth woohoo. I still have no sensation at the top of the scalp, but I expecting this for upto 2 years and if it comes back sooner then it's a bonus and numbness is a small price to pay for the new life this surgery gives you. I've been out in the wind with no hat, no hairspray and my head held high, wow I've NEVER EVER done that before, I can't wait for summer to arrive so I can tie my hair back away from my face without a worry :-)

I cannot believe how quickly time has passed and it seems such a longtime ago now that I was in recovery.

If anyone is considering this surgery I truly recommend it, just do your homework like I did and make sure you chose the right surgeon for YOU, take care xx
