Debating hair transplants for FFS hairline lowering? Read this first

I would say hair transplants are like breast implants, they can look stunning, they can look natural at first glance if the size is right and you don't pay much attention, but ...if you pay attention or know what to look for, you can tell

I was referring to the breast implants (I just edited my post to make this clearer). "The right size" from my point of view is the size recommended by the implants manufacturers, meaning that they match the circumference of the pectoral muscle and are not as large as to look obvious at first glance. But I don't want to go off topic in this FFS sub forum.

Well this is not what I was talking about , as can maybe be seen from the picture I linked. The numbness in front of the incision is probably due to swelling and fades as it goes down. But the incision for forehead surgery just has to cut through the nerves running up to the scalp. There is no way around cutting them, except maybe with Dr Zuchowskis method of going in with an endoscopic tool. So the area behind the incision will always be numb initially and the nerves then hopefully can grow back.

Ok yes I am confident in the skill of my surgeon and more importantly my body's ability to heal itself through proper care and nutrition.

I had my hairline reduction by Dr. Lee also and my scar is almost invisible.

You look great!!  I'm hoping to get the same result with mine

Very nice Debra, your work looks fantastic and I actually have seen you and your photos on that site before as I was scouring for answers.

Thats interesting that you say you can't cover them or else you risk losing them.... Hmmmm.  My surgeon actually said it was ok to wear a hat after a week or two post op.  She is supposedly one of the best in the world.  I got botched.

Thanks. Dr Gabel is awesome.

Yeah that seems odd to be able to wear hats after 1 week. The transplanted hairs are very delicate for a while. But after a few weeks hats are probably ok. But without the hat it was REALLY BAD for a while. The blue dye they use to see the holes they create mixed with the blood gives the scalp around the hair transplants an odd purple skin look for a very long time. WAY too long imho.
