Is this a bruise?
WORTH IT$7,501
It doesn't hurt and I thought it was makeup but it wouldn't wash off. Did anyone else bruise by their eyes? I noticed a lot of bruising on my forehead after surgery but now there's just this thing by my eye.

I don't really love the results yet but I think when I wash and dry my hair in the morning it'll look more normal. I sent a pic to my sister and all she says is 'that looks weird' lol

And maybe the stitches make it look smaller? I just feel like it's so tiny.
When the swelling reduces it starts to look better. I too thought it was too small but when i emailed dr. K he said swelling will make it look tight and smaller than what it will really look like.
It doesn't look too small at all, in saying that around a 4 or 5 days post op I absolutely hated it and felt it was way too far the other way, my Dr said feeling like that was completely normal and it would pass (and it did!) I couldn't be happier now.
It looks awesome!! It's always a bit scary so soon after your surgery. I look back now at photos I took and I'm amazed I ever looked in the mirror while it was healing! You will love your results in a few months!
Oh really? Ok that makes me feel way better so thank you! I was looking at your review before my surgery and you look so good. I hope I heal as good as you have!
You will! About a week after the stitches came out I started using a silicon based scar gel religiously twice a day for a good 4 months, I now also take a collagen supplement which I think has helped immensely!
It looks great! AND when the shaved hairs start growing through the scar to camouflage it, that lowers your forehead a fraction more. Hang on for the healing, it really does change daily. And it looks weird due to the sutures, but once they're out and you start camouflaging the scar with makeup, no one is the wiser. Except to mentioning how GREAT you look!
Thank you!
The height of your new hairline is perfect! I had this procedure done 3.5 weeks ago, and it's important to be patient in terms of expecting it to look great. Full recovery can take a couple months, and longer if you have shedding.
My scar is still bright red, but I'm super pale with no melanin in my skin to hide redness anyways. My head is still sore when I lie down on a pillow, and I just talked to my Dr and he says that 3 weeks out is still early in the recovery and tenderness is normal. There's also some diffuse hair shedding and a small bald spot up in front, which can occur because of the trauma but is normal. Make sure you are eating really healthy and getting lots of good vitamins and nutrients while you're recovering to reduce the risk of shedding and to speed scar healing!

Day of treatment

Idk if you can tell but I think there is a decent difference. My forehead was sloped back at the top and he brought it down so it would just be straight up and down. I'll post more before pics later when I get bandages off and can really compare.

Came out great! I was the girl who walked in all bandaged with my luggage when you got there lol. So funny I came across your post! Good luck healing :)
Lol that is funny! I posted a lot for my breast aug and it helped with the process so I figured I'd do it again with this procedure too. Thanks and good luck to you too!
Thank you! :)
That's great to hear. I had my surgery with him 1.5 weeks ago. My sutures were removed on Tuesday so im still healing. I also wanted to say, each day it gets better and better. Realself had seriously helped me emotionally. I Dr. K must have a connection with realself. Hahaha. We all went to him.
Your results look good! I can't wait to get these stitches out because they're so ugly. And I know well he is the guy who invented this procedure isn't he so I think we all made a good choice lol
