After so many years of contiplating what I dhoukd do with my large forehead and bad side swept bangs to cover myslef, it was time to start researching. I came accross realself and began my journey to find the right doctor. I live in Los Angeles so I felt I had a plethora of surgeons near me. One cought my eye and it was over. Dr. KABAKER is practically the guro of this proceedure. He has trained eveneven the beverly hills doctors near me. I've had my eye on this surgery but like everyone else, I was scared. For months I called and researched but It wasn't until I heard about rhis retirement that I made the appointment. I am so happy I did. I had my surgery yesterday and I am already impressed with my results.

Congratulations! :D Are you doing anything in particular to help aid your recovery?

Not really. Just taking the antibiotics and arnica pills. Being extra careful with washing. So careful that i dont think im cleaning the incision well. I am putting neosporin. I feel a lot of tingling sensations though. Which is very wierd. I just cant wait for the stitches to come out and see the progress.

That makes sense. Were you expecting the itching?

I read here and there about itching. Honestly, if i dont think about it, it feels fine. The more sensation i get the less annoying it becomes.

Stitches get removed tomorrow

So, Dr. K contacted me and answered my question about how many cm were taken off since I couldnt remember. He said it was 3 cm. Wow. He was able to pull that off. I guess he meant it when he said I had the ideal flexibility/elasticity.

Stitches/staples are out!

The suture removal process was practically pain free since theres very little feeling at the top of my head. I had some dry scabs so the medical assistant had to soften up the scab and breaknit down since there was one staple and a few stitches under it. I also went to referred doctor here in my hometown. The scar looks like its healing well and right now there's little red bumps where the stitching was. I feel like I am gaining more feeling and even a bit less compact after the removal. I plan to rigorously appy scar cream and ointment for the next few weeks. I have curly hair so I was able to walk into work without anyone noticing anything.

So when is the doctor retiring because I've been seeing everyone posting that he is
January 11, 2017
His website says early 2017 and the nurses said it was February. However, he is referring all his clients to a new doctor in San Francisco but the cost is like 9,000-ish. He was the most cost effective compared to everyone else. That's one reason why i jumped on the surgery.

Hi, I'm getting my surgery done with him today and I'm really nervous! But I do like your results!
