I have always had a high forehead and I hated how I looked. I was teased at school because of my big forehead and that made me self conscious. When the summer comes its a nightmare for me cause I dont want to go swimming and dont have any fun just to keep my bangs dry and on place. And when the wind blows oh my that is horrible for me I just feel everybody is going to be staring at my forehead.

Congratulations on taking this step for yourself! :) What was the procedure like?

It was very good! I didn't feel anything everything happened very fast. I woke up from the procedure and a caregiver took me to the hotel and I got some rest until now I haven't felt pain just a little bit of pressure in my forehead but that's all good.

How are you feeling? I just did my surgery on the 2nd of this month. Currently recuperating. I have wierd tingling sensations on the top of my head and around the incision.

Not very happy I see it looks a bit uneven and one of the eyebrows is lifted. I like my left side but the right side right now looks to different.

I think it looks fantastic! Give it some time to heal and for the hair to come through. Naturally hairlines aren't always symmetrical.

Thanks my concern is the eyebrow makes my eyes look weird
December 17, 2016
Yes give it time to heal, and even more time for your hair to grow through the scar. I would ask about the eyebrow being higher, though.
December 18, 2016
Yes that's my only concern the eyebrow

Your hairline looks great! I can't see your eyebrows before to compare...I'd ask about it, but I'm sure it all takes time.

Had the same procedure December 13, 2016. Also had the same thing happen with my eyebrow. It looks as if your natural hair2was quite high (also like mine) so give it a couple of weeks for swelling to go down and let everything relax. Mine dropped around 6 days post surgery. I think there might be swelling at the scalp that we dont always account for which might contribute to this happening. Give it time.

I think it looks great. I don't think I would want it too perfect. Many hairline are not a perfect line. I would like this done, but I am Squamish about a big incushion. What was the recovery pain like?
