Hey all I'm leaning towards the procedure with Dr Jeffrey Epstein only because he said I don't have enough laxity after viewing the video I sent him and He said I require the 2stage procedure which I really don't want :( has anyone had a forehead reduction with him? I've had a Skype consultaion with kabaker and aharonov both seem nice but they both said they could only remove around 2cm of skin which is not enough for my 9.5 cm alien head has anyone else got a forehead this big? I at least wanted 3cm of skin removed don't know what to do!

plz don't do 2 stage surgery I've done with dr.gal I was happy he always says 2 but at the end I swear he does smaller amount because this surgery it's not that painful but very uncomfortable so u don't want a go through for 2 times specially one time with ballon in ur head not worth it take my word because I did it with dr.gal I'm very happy just if u really one a do it so one step surgery with small amount but don't go through 2 step not worth it but at end its ur decision
August 20, 2015
Thanks@happy girl but my forehead is 9.5cm and 2cm of skin won't be enough I will still have a 7.5m forehead after the one stage Dr gal also said I don't have enough laxity so I have no choice to get the balloon which I am dreading! I'm after a 5cm forehead I'm glad everything went well for you and that because you had the ballon so it did help how big was your forehead before and after? And do you have any pics of your journey? Thanks
August 20, 2015
What is this ballon?
August 20, 2015
oh I didn't have a ballon, I did one time surgery with dr. gal why don't u do one step surgery and so hair transplant after that to bring it lower have u thought about that?
August 20, 2015
Because my forehead is 8.5cm and Dr gal and Dr Kabaker said they could only move around 2cm which is not enough my forehead will still be 6.5cm after can you tell me what size your forehead was before your surgery please? X
August 20, 2015
Its the 2 stage procedure when you don't have enough laxity in your forehead they have to put a ballon in your head and over the period of 6-10 weeks you have to keep inflating it until the balloon gets big enough the skin stretches that way you can have a much lower forehead like 5cm which is what I want

to be honest I never measure mine but when I went with my mom I always loved my moms forhead he said hers its 7 something I guess so I believe mine was higher than hers which I think maybe was 8 something I think I can private message u a better pic of before me
August 21, 2015
Thanks that would be great x
August 21, 2015
I thought dr Gal A can do up to 2 inches which is what I read in his website regardless of laxity...Check out his website and you'll see it there
August 21, 2015
I had a Skype consultation with him and he assumed my forehead was 10/11 cm lool how embarrassing but he asked me to pinch my forehead and move it up and down and he said I don't have enough laxity so now I'm confused :( are you planning to have surgery with him?
August 22, 2015
Yes in the future when I have money.. Lol. But did u get s chance to check Dr A site? Didn't it say up to 2 in regardless? But u know what ! I would rather go for the safest.. And for this I guess you have trust dr recommendation.. Good luck Hun. Praying for ur safe journey. Pls keep me posted :) [RS bleep]
August 22, 2015
Yes I did check his site his work looks good but if you don't have enough laxity in your forehead he won't be able to go as low as you think he said to me on the Skype call he could do his best but it wouldn't be the amount I'm looking for but I want to go with Kabaker as he has the most experience and his work is good to I will definitely keep you posted and good luck with saving xx
August 21, 2015
I never even got to the consult with Dr Epstein. His assistant or whoever sets up the consults left me an incredibly nasty voice mail about how I needed to hurry up and decide. I have been researching this procedure for several years and I am most pleased with Kabaker. He by far has the most wonderful reviews and people seem very pleased with their overall results
August 22, 2015
Yh your right I think I'm going to chane my mind and go with Kabaker plus he has 40years experience which is a bonus
August 22, 2015
Yes he has been doing the procedure for a long time. I have read many reviews about how nice his work is. That alone speaks volumes. I hope you find the right person for your surgery and be sure to post your before a and afters! Good luck! :)
August 22, 2015
I'm definitely choosing Kabaker and thank you good luck to you to I will update after procedure hope you do to x

I am wondering whether you have considered a hair transplant to lower your hairline. That may give you all that you need and may be considerably less expensive. Just a thought.
August 26, 2015
Hey daisy I can't do the hair transplant aswell as being unlucky with my forehead the back of my head is shaped like roger from American dad so it would look even strange me bringing more hair forward would make my head look extended :( thanks tho!

Hey all I was leaning towards the procedure with Dr Jeffrey Epstein because I watched quite a few videos of his work on YouTube plus I was going to Miami for a holiday anyway so would make things easy! after sending him a video of my forehead laxity he said he could only do the 2 stage procedure which I didn't want but I would now have it done just to have the forehead of my dreams lol ive had Skype consultations with kabaker (originally my first choice) and Dr Gal aharonov both seem nice but they both said they could only remove around 2cm of skin which is not enough for my 9.5 cm alien head has anyone else got a forehead this big? I at least wanted 3cm-4cm of skin lowered I've now changed my mind and decided to stick with Kabaker as he has the most experience I will update when I have reduction or worse the ballon in my head!
