London to Oakland to Lower my High Hairline with the Best - Oakland, CA

I'm getting lots of messages asking how I managed to look after myself alone, so I thought I'd post this pic of me 12 hours after surgery. I went site seeing and walked for miles and up hills etc. I'm not encouraging anyone to do the same. I was leaving that same day and felt I had not done enough. Im glad I did as I felt ok to do it. If I stayed longer of course I would have waited until another day. I just wanted to point out that you can look after yourself just fine x

I first went to my nurse at my doctors to get out my stitches. She freaked out when I explained I had surgery abroad. She said she doesn't want to remove my stitches because I could sue her if something goes wrong with what my surgeon did and not my surgeon :s after I begged and got a doctors permission she agreed but freaked out again when she took out the first stitch because there was some blood and because she's never done hairline lowering she's scared it's not normal. I ended up telling her not to bother because I was feel so uncomfortable and she clearly was scared herself. I called dr Chris ingefield who I believe is the best in England for hairline lowering. He agreed to have his nurses take out my stitches at day 9 (as his policy is 10 days but day 10 was a Saturday). It was £150 for him but it was worth it! His nurses were very clearly knowledgeable about the procedure and that made me feel so at ease! They didn't look at me and freak out they looked at me and smiled and said I look great. I met Dr Ingefield very briefly too and he checked out my stitches and said I'm healing nicely. Even during my removal of stitches and staples the nurse kept on saying I'm healing nicely and I look great. I told her what happened with my other nurse and she giggled and said a bit of bleeding is totally normal and she told me she's done this many times. We chatted throughout and I barely felt the stitches being removed, and the staples were only slightly painful but she was very quick. When I got up and looked in the mirror I understood why they kept saying I'm healing nicely. It's because I had NO scar! Only raised red dots from when the stitches came out. In my head I was thinking "it's not that I'm a great healer it's that I had a great surgeon". They gave me antibiotic ointmemt sample to take home and use which did for 2 days only as I didn't see the point if I have no wound. They said I can come back for their aftercare as they usually see patients at 6weeks and 6 months to look at the scar but I know I won't need to. Thanks to Dr Ingefield for being amazing with my aftercare in England. If you want to stay in London for surgery I think he's the best. I spent so much on 2 bottles of scar cream prior to surgery. What a waste lol! I spent the whole next day with my sister and my hair back and she kept looking at me strange but said nothing. I don't look like I had surgery a week ago! But at the same time I look like a totally different person. I wonder how long it takes for them to think "I swear she had a buck head before" lol. My friends who I told keep on staring at me saying they love my new look. I know I said before that I thought my head was still slightly big and I wish he went lower but I realised that was the swelling making it appear big aha! day by day it kept appearing smaller then I realised I was swollen! He did it perfectly so I look like the best version of myself. I'm at day 12 now. The dots are still there but scabbed over. I scraped a few off from the with my nail as it looked a little like dead skin and left the ones at the front. My friends said they can't even see them they say they see nothing, so I guess it's just me
