Lowering my Hairline Finally After Years of Saving Up! - Oakland, CA

Hi everyone! I am having a forehead reduction done next month and I'm SO happy. I can not wait for this day to come although I'm extremely nervous! I'm 23 turning 24 in June and I've researched this procedure for years and finally saved up enough to have it done. I have chosen Dr Kabakar for this procedure based on his reviews, pictures and a few people I've had actual conversations with over the phone. I feel confident in my choice but I'm nervous because I'm flying all the way from Canada! I'm writing this to get my feelings out as I've pretty much told no one except my mother about this procedure. I'm sure they wouldn't understand or tell me I'm crazy but it's something I'm doing for me and my mental health. I have been insecure about my forehead since I was a child when some kids would make fun of me and call me 5 head or tell me my forehead was big, so I started hiding it or wearing bangs. I wear headbands or hats to the gym I haven't wore my hair in a pony tail since I was a toddler o can't even remember the last time I have. It's became very stressful, and I'm so insecure about it I feel as though it's taking so much confidence out of me I don't even like pictures cause all I do is look at my forehead. Getting ready in the morning takes forever trying to hide it and when the wind blows it's so embarrassing I just can't wait to be able to finally pull my hair back. I think this procedure will set me free in a way, I'll be less stressed and more confident in myself. I get told I'm pretty all the time but I never believe it. It's sad I feel sad for myself and I can't tell anyone how I feel because they don't understand. Well that's enough for tonight please comment if you want and I will keep posting my journey and pictures eventually! :)

Hey everyone I just want to say thank you for all your comments & support. Its really nice to be able to share my experience with all of you. I am now in San fransico and travelling with my mother, we're staying in San Fran for a few days before the surgery so we enjoy some mother daughter time and experience the city for the first time. I am pretty excited about the surgery but I am also experiencing some mixed emotions and of course extremely nervous. I've wanted this for years and the day is finally just a few days away. I kept drawing myself a new hairline with an eyeliner pencil a few days before we left lol, but I still can't imagine what I'll look like with it.. I'm going to relax for the next few days, do some sight seeing and enjoy San Fran. I will update the day of surgery, if not the day after! I can't wait to share some photos with you all and let you in on my experience. It's going to be a big change not only to my appearance but my life! ttyl ????

It's the day of surgery and I'm feeling pretty energetic, I got up and straightened my hair, couldn't stop staring in the mirror at my forehead. I can't wait to be able to take these bangs off my face. I am a little hungry but I can't eat until after surgery surgeries at 1pm. oddly enough I'm not that nervous right now. Here we go!! I'll update soon!
