WORTH IT$7,000
I have recently scheduled my hairline lowering surgery with Dr. James E. Vogel for June 1, 2015. I have been saving up for this procedure since January and am finally ready to proceed. I have been self conscious of my forehead for as long as I can remember and this is a procedure I feel will improve my self-esteem a lot. I am confident that Dr. Vogel is the surgeon for me. I have seen results of his hairline lowering procedures and am very impressed at how natural the patients look. I do not want a hairline that is obviously one that has been lowered. Also, Dr. Vogel's office has been kind enough to arrange for me to speak with one of his patients and I have been corresponding with her regularly. I have put down my deposit for surgery and am nervous and anxious yet very happy that I am finally doing this for myself.

Pre-Surgery Anxiety!
New_to_surgeryMay 10, 2015
I have never had any type of cosmetic procedure before and am somewhat surprised at how nervous I am. I have wanted this procedure for SO long but I am very scared. Corresponding with people who have had this procedure/are planning to have this surgery helps. I keep feeling excited and anxious and I am sure these feelings will not go away until after my procedure.

Nervousness is completely normal. Keep your eyes on the prize!

I live in Owings mills and actually called Dr Vogel's office today to inquire about this. The ladies I spoke to were not very friendly, so I was doubting my instincts of using their services. Please let me know how it goes, it will help ease my anxiety.

I would be more than happy to have Kelly the coordinator of the hair transplants and hairline lowering reach out to you if you would like. I reached out to them via the contact on their website and she emailed me and has been very friendly. I'll shoot you a private message!

Preparations for Surgery....

So yesterday I had my required pre-op physical and I must say, explaining to the physician the procedure I will be having made me feel so uncomfortable because she had never heard of such a procedure. The physical went well, I had all my blood work done, and will find out the results soon. Dr. Vogel does not require patients under the age of 50 to receive an EKG before surgery but my doctor refused to clear me unless I had one so that annoyed me a bit but at least I know I'm healthy to have surgery. I will post some before pictures of my forehead so you can all see the before and then in two weeks the after!

Thanks, I called Kelly and scheduled a consultation. Your before photos will help me get the idea. That means I too will need PCP's blood work? I am following you closely. Please keep us updated as am still leaning towards Dr Vogel.

Yup a physical and blood work is required. I think I got CBC, pt, ptt, and one other. I am going to have another FaceTime consult with him just to go over everything. You're lucky that you're in that area I had my consults via FaceTime.

Hello dear
Have you checked hair transplant instead, it would be much cheaper and less complication. My friend did not like her forehead and she did hair transplant to lower the forehead. Good luck anyway
So exciting! And so great that you are conversing with a past patient of your doctor's. I hope you will keep us updated throughout this journey. Not much longer now!
