I was teased my whole life for having a big forehead, but then my hairline began to recede.

I have a high tolerance for pain, but I was in a bit of pain within the first 30 minutes of this procedure, I needed a higher dose of meds. After that, I was really good.

Words of wisdom:

Do not do a lot of moving!!!!!! You will get horrible bruising and swelling. I thought that because I looked normal that all was okay, so we went strolling around Miami beach (for dinner). I was able to wear a headband and sunglasses, so I looked quite normal, but the swelling began later that night. I had black eyes for months!!!! This was my fault.

The only thing I would want to include, would be a session for graft transplants to fill in some of the edges. I doubt anyone else notices anything, but I do. I am fine with it, even if I never do anything else. I am able to brush baby hair over it and I am happy!

This surgery wasn't popular a couple of years ago, so I am late posting. I am overdue for an updated photo, maybe with my hair done. :)

Thanks for your review! It looks awesome!i may be wrong, but from the looks of your pictures it seems like those were post surgical pictures. It'd be interesting to see how your hairline looks now. Do you have any scarring or numbness?

I'll update. My scalp has some numbness but not bad

Also great tip! I ways figured walking around would prevent swelling since it'd get the blood moving. Perhaps sitting and laying upright would be the best solution to prevent swelling and bruising? Did the headband bother your head at all?

Headbands were a life saver

Hey. Nice review. I also have that problem and just got hair transplant in turkey today. If you're considering hair transplant turkey is the way to go. With hair transplant, hotel, and transportation it will be only 2000$ the only thing you need to pay for is flight. I don't know how this will turn out but I'll keep you posted if you would like

Hey, I was actually very curios about going to turkey for the same procedure, or for a forehead reduction, and I'd like to know more about your experience

I will try to right a review. Had it done for 3 months now but no growth so far but I know it takes time in certain hair types

Thank you so much for sharing! What technique did your doctor use for your forehead reduction?

He made an incision and cut out extra skin and stitched. I had enough laxity to do it
