Dr Kabaker is so modest and genuine. He isn't like most doctors you meet. Very down to earth and to the point while still friendly. He could do this work with his eyes closed he is has done so many! Online photos are literally just a sprinkle of what he has done... I saw his photo gallery in his office at the clinic, and there are hundreds of photographs of amazing procedures. I understand now why people make the trip across the world to see him. His nurses are wonderful , sweet, and professional. They even gave me my medications so I didn't have to run to a pharmacy after my procedure! Denise was so supportive and understanding when I was freaking out 2 days before my surgery. She was like a therapist for me, bless her heart! Joowon RN was so nice and gentle with cleaning my sutures. Nilla RN in the OR was so friendly and kept me distracted while my IV was put in.

It's day 22 after my surgery.
Found my lost photos so will post those!

Regarding hair Loss I'm losing hair overall but not at the hairline. When I run my fingers through my hair there's always about 4-8 hairs that come out . I have to admit it's not a good feeling to see that , but I'm trying to not freak out. I have very thick hair to begin with so luckily it hasn't made too noticeable to other people I'm sure. I definitely notice my hair is thinner overall. Ponytail is half the size than before . I don't comb or brush my hair (I generally don't anyway even before Surgery) . I imagine more would come out if I did.
I'm using Mederma PM at night and making sure the scar is out of the sun.
I am able to wear my hair down without anyone seeing th scar.

One thing I have started to notice is that hairline is not exactly even. One side looks higher. I don't know if it's because one side has more hair growing through the scar already. I'm going to ask the doctor about it. Worst case scenario I would have to get grafts to even it out. But I don't wanna get grafts until I see how the hair grows out first.
