Have Been Researching This Procedure for About 10+ Yrs - Oakland, CA

Putting a couple of pics up. Im sorry that im not putting all of my medical business out there but here is a few pics to show that I did indeed have the surgery, and I am happy that I did. Dr. Kabaker deserves recognition for his skills but im not putting more pics up to satiate unknown people from the internet.

I had been looking to get this procedure done since I was 20 years old when I finally discovered what was off balance about my face. Since that time, I had grown increasingly self conscious about it. Forget about wearing my hair in a pony tail. My hairline was so high it made me look bald. Wind was no longer my friend and to be honest bangs didnt help either. They would end up looking sparse or childish. When I found out Dr. Kabaker was retiring, that was the final straw. I booked the appointment and decided it was now or never. The never part for me, was because regardless of what many cosmetic surgeons say, this isnt a procedure you get to just add to your portfolio, by winging it on their first couple of patients. Which, I believe some of them were willing to do since it wasn't a procedure that they had listed on their websites and when asked could only claim they specialized in facial surgery. This isnt an operation on your face, it is actually your scalp and hairline. So please be aware of the difference as there can be risk of hairloss and scarring. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I am now resting comfortably in my hotel room. Post Surgery! I had it done this morning, December 13. The ladies in the office were so sweet and comforting. They went over everything with me, and by the time I was ready to go into the operating room, I was relaxed yet excited. Dr. Kabaker and I had already drawn out my new hairline. I started out with an 8 cm forehead and he brought it down 3 cm. Super impressive! I was worried about the pain and nausea experienced by some people, but its been 12 hours since the surgery and I havent experienced anything but a manageable headache and some slight pressure. I recieved a follow up call from the office 4 hours after surgery and told them how well Ive been doing and how thoughtful it was for them to call me. All i can say at this point is that I am 100 percent happy I made this decision and am even more grateful that I was in the hands of a such an esteemed Dr. And his colleagues.
