Day of treatment
I had my procedure this morning. When I arrived the receptionist was lovely and the nurse who took me through to process me was really lovely too and actually funny she made me laugh at times. She explained all the meds she was giving me and how to take them. Then his assistant came to take pictures and draw lines on my head after discussing how low i would like to go (and may I add he was serious eye candy aha). Dr Kabakar came to double check everything. They was both very thorough and precise I really had no worries or anxiety. He gave me a pill to relax me anyway (I probably didn't need it) but I did enjoy the feeling it gave me. When the nurse took me through after laying me down and wrapping me up warm she put the needle in me (which felt like I minor scratch) and I she said I will start feeling relaxed. I think I was still still chatting away then the next thing she asking me if I'm ok and I can have a nap as the procedure is over aha, what a breeze! I'm back at the hotel now with my bandage on and I'm feeling good. The hot assistant dropped me off as he lives in San Fran anyway and he was so lovely to chat to and wouldn't even let me pay him for the journey. I felt really looked after by everyone throughout. After this review I'm going to put a hat on and go out for a nice meal as I haven't eaten since morning. So far I just feel like I have a headache so I'll probable take one of the non-drowsy ones I was given now and save the others for bedtime. I look forward to the big reveal tomorrow :D. Thanks Dr Kabakar and his team, I'm a very happy lady!
2 days after I can wash my hair
I went back to Kabakar's office the day after and the nurse washed my wound, gave me a mirror so I could see, then wrapped me back up to travel back to England that same evening. I'm happy with the results. I still have a big forehead but it's no longer abnormally big lol it suits me more. Maybe I could have gone slightly lower but my worst fear was going too low and Kabakar sensed that so did a safe option. Maybe in 3 months I'll get a few grafts to lower it 0.5cm more and round the edges. My original consultation was with Fargo graft specialists in London but they said they only want to lower me 1cm so I chose Kabakar as he could lower more. Since Kabakar is retiring in January I'll probably go to then to do this. After washing my hair I put on a head band and spent lots of time with family (who I haven't told) and i even went trick or treating. i also cut myself a fringe as I'll be returning to work with stitches in and a headband won't be suitable
Kabakar is retiring!
I'm receiving messages about going to Kabakar, I'm not sure if they realise that he's retiring soon! If it wasn't for his retirement I wouldn't have got it done this soon. I was planning on doing it next year, but as soon as I heard last month I immediately called his office to book lol. He told me he has a few spaces left in January, so for those who are serious about this procedure I'd advise that you contact him asap about it. I'm sure he will fit you in. He fitted me in last week as I told him it was the only week I could do as it's half term holidays so my nephews will be with their grandparents
