On the 16th August I finally had had my hairline lowering consultation!
Like everyone else here I had decided enough was enough and my big ol fivehead was not going to be in charge of my self esteem anymore. From having a date tell me over dinner "I don't know what it is but you look different with a beanie? Maybe beanies just suit you? Something's different though... you look prettier?" to paying out $3,000 to a company for special hair serum and laser appointments only to see them on the news later as being a scam company with (surprise surprise!) no results.
About 4 years ago I noticed my hair started thinning around my temples and part. In the shower, in bed, on my clothes, everywhere! This made my already high hairline even BIGGER and I was absolutely devastated. I started filling in my hairline with dark eyeshadow (admit it we all hatched this same idea haha) and taking hours styling my hair just right. After doing some research I actually can coincide my hair loss at the time I had my implanon rod inserted in my arm (continual release contraception which lasts 4 years). Apparently there are lots of other women who have experienced this also! As I don't have any history of baldness in my family I feel like this *could* be what's happened to me?
Either way I am now booked in to have my surgery on the 4th November with Dr Martinick in Sydney and I couldn't be more ecstatic. We are going to reduce my forehead from 8cm to 5.5cm. Luckily she says I have excellent laxity and this should be no issue at all! I'm pretty nervous as I haven't told a single friend or family member about this and will be travelling interstate :(
I'm mostly scared about being back in the hotel by myself and if I will experience any nausea or too much pain. I will keep you updated on the day and I it would mean the world to me if you were able to comment on this post for company so I don't feel quite so alone on the day haha.

Yes our foreheads look similar. Is your hair thick or thin?

I booked a consult with dr martinik for hairline lowering but for some reason I won't be seeing her I will be seeing dr Sara kotai. Did you see a different dr?

Yeah I saw Dr Aliaa for my consult. Then she worked with Dr Martinick on the day of the op too

Due to have my surgery this Saturday!
I'm so nervous :(
I've been massaging my scalp and taking vitamin C, Biotin and Zinc and after will be adding Bromelain and Arnica (tabs). For scar treatment I've ordered a 50ml tube of Strataderm, it's almost $100 so I really hope it works! It was recommended to me by my surgeon. Is there anything anyone else did either before or just after their surgery? Or any advice? How often were you icing? I'm staying in a hotel with a small kitchenette in the room so I'm hoping there's a freezer for me to keep an ice pack. How many pillows did you use to stay elevated to reduce the chance of swelling and brusing going down your face?
Sorry for all the questions! thank you in advance!
