that looks amazing. i also have a big head and didnt know anything was possible. Would you consider the surgery completely worth it?
Thank you! And absolutely!
LOOK very nice, can you tell me how much you paid?
7500$ USD
I have a doubt, what about the eye brows? did they lift?
Absolutely not :)

Thank you very much! :)
That reduction is amazing.I can't believe by how much space the surgeon was able to cut away.You must be extatic m8 as I know i' would be.Much better for you than buying a flash car!
I wish you the best of luck pal.

On June 10th I had a forehead reduction surgery...

On June 10th I had a forehead reduction surgery with Dr. Sheldon Kabaker in Oakland. My hairline was lowered by 2.7cm and the results are exactly what I wanted!! Goodbye big forehead! Now I truely feel the size of my forehead is proportional with the rest of my face. My friends are really surprised by the great results. A lot of people don't even know that such a surgery exists so they remain shocked hahah (in a good way)... I recommend this surgery to anyone that has a big forehead and has low self-esteem because of it. It's been 8 days since the surgery and the scar is barely visible :)

Great results! congrats. :)
Thank you :)

I think your results are awesome! Is the recovery from a forehead reduction very painful?

Thank you! I had the surgery on a wednesday and wednesday in the evening after the surgery I was in a lot of pain. The day after on thursday I still felt pain but not a lot, and the other days I couldn't feel pain anymore. So 1-2 days of pain and that was it :)

Glad it was quick. Was it a burning pain or more of an ache?

I don't recall a burning sensation, it felt more like an intense headache
Hey bro, Nice results. I wanted to know what was done to determine how much youre hairline could be lowered and did your scalp feel like it was loose enough before the surgery to w lowered a lot?
Hey Jamario, thanks for your comment. Here is a link where you can see examples of what is good scalp laxity and how you can see if you have enough: http://www.kabaker.com/scalp-flexability.php

I had enough scalp laxity for this surgery
Looks great! I just had mine done last Wednesday. I ended up getting a staph infection so a major setback. But I have to say...no regrets to my gigantic forehead!
Hey mate, looks really good.
How's the scar healing? I've always had the same problem so really considering the procedure.
Right now it's a little bit red but it's only been 3 weeks since the surgery so it's normal. It will get better with time. I'll probably post an update in 3-4 months to show what the scar looks like.
Thank you
Would greatly appreciate
