WORTH IT$11,000
I am SO happy with my results!! My scar is fading so nicely, I really don’t need makeup to cover it anymore and still not a single person has noticed that I did anything. I’m really happy with the height because I still look like myself! It’s now big enough that I still look like me but not so big that I’m ever uncomfortable or self conscious anymore. I hope that makes sense!
All of the numbness is completely gone at this point, the bald and thin spots have already filled back in, and it’s looking more rounded and natural as the scar fades. There are only a couple things that are annoying. First, the little hairs along the incision are now about 3 inches long so I have a bunch of awkward fuzzies that won’t lay correctly with the rest of my hair lol. (They don’t look so bad in these photos but some days they are very stubborn and stick straight up.) The other thing is that there were a couple spots in the center of my scar that became irritated and ingrown over and over, never healing. This was an issue until about 3 weeks ago and I’m pretty sure it finally healed because I stopped wearing HATS! That little seam on the inside of all my hats must have been pressing too hard on it while it tried to heal.
Otherwise everything is great and I feel like a whole new woman! It’s been very windy and I even went swimming the other day when it was nice. I no longer have to worry about a giant forehead weighing down my self esteem. Thank you SO much Dr. Aharonov!

10 week progress
Refine7091January 23, 2019
It’s been a while since my last update, things are going great! The scar is getting so much better every week. The first 6 of these photos are from now at 10 weeks, the last two are from about two weeks ago. At this point it’s looking good enough to go out in public without covering it, but I still wouldn’t hang out with friends or work with it showing. It’s SUPER easy and fast to disguise with a bit of makeup (I just mix a dab of concealer and foundation and use a small brush to apply it.). Not a single person has seemed to notice, not even my close girlfriends, so I’m really happy. I feel that it’s perfect because I basically look the same with my hair down but don’t need styled side bangs to cover it BUT I can now pull my hair completely back in a ponytail and flip it, move it, etc and feel ‘normal’ and beautiful. No more insecurity or obsession with covering it. Hallelujah!!
There’s still a tiny bit of wave/puckering left but you can only see it in specific lighting. The side incisions are still the slightest bit tender to the touch but I can sleep perfectly fine now (no pain or soreness when I wake up). The only thing that’s kind of annoying right now is the spiky 1-2” hairs that have grown through the incision since the surgery. Not a big deal but it looks funny with my hair back. Oh! And thankfully the thin spots never got any worse so I’m just waiting for them to fill back it.
I’m really happy and satisfied with my results! Comment or message me if you have any questions :)

It jumbled my pictures after posting. The two photos from 8 weeks are labeled, obviously he incision is darker, more red.
January 23, 2019
Looks good love! Is the red mark around your forehead, the scarring or is it bruising? Do you think it will go away?
January 25, 2019
It’s scarring! There was only bruising for the first week or two.
BUT if you look at the difference between the 8 weeks and 10 week pics (labeled) the redness/purple scar has faded significantly over 2 weeks! It seemed to have darkened at 7-8 weeks and then faded. It’s a much more neutral color now :)

Beautiful! Yaaaaay! :)

Hi! Can I request a picture of your hair completely tied back with a hair tie just like you did in your first initial pic. Would be very helpful to see the comparison. Looks great so far

Hi, I just posted a new update with photos! Yes I will add one with a headband asap

Do you have an updated picture of the current progress?? I’m curious to see!

One month update :)
Refine7091December 15, 2018
Hi everyone! I hope my updates are helping. It’s about 1 month post op and things are going great! My incision is healing well and I’m using Tend Skin (and careful with a fine tip tweezer) to help with ingrowns. There’s still a bit of denting in my forehead but it’s not too noticeable. The only negative is that I have seen a lot more hair coming out in the shower and when I comb it out, so it makes me not want to wash it as much! I just looked at my side incisions and that’s where it’s coming from, there are little bald patches along it. Annoying but not too bad since those are also easy to cover. I’m taking my vitamins/Biotin every day, eating well etc so hopefully it’s just a short phase.
On to today; I actually styled my hair (I’ve been wearing hats, beanies, headbands to go places and no styling at home) and used a little makeup on the incision, and holy crap it’s so gorgeous!! :D
I left the house and felt SO confident and SO beautiful. I feel like my face is finally perfectly balanced and there’s nothing to be insecure about anymore. It’s amazing how a small adjustment can have such a huge impact on my confidence. I would recommend this (and especially Dr. Aharonov) to anyone who has struggled with this insecurity. This is life changing!

You look amazing!! So does your hairline get “lower” since hair actually grows through the incision line?
December 17, 2018
Please, please, continue to post photos. I recently had this done and have those ridges in my incision line. Mine are less spaced out as your's and I am worried they are not going to heal as smoothly as yours. Have yours pretty much vanished?
Thank you so much for your post it is really helping me get through this difficult and scary time.
December 17, 2018
I’ll update as much as possible! I’m so glad it’s helping you. When did you get yours done? I still have faint ridges/dents but they’re looking better every few days. From what I’ve seen it all eventually smooths out! Stay calm and good luck :)
December 17, 2018
Thank you so much. Your story and posts are really helping me right now. I’m extremely nervous and am very appreciative of this reassurance. Please keep me up to date on how your incision is smoothing out! I am post op day four right now. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate this!
December 17, 2018
OMG it loos so good! As I said if I randomly met you I wouldn't have noticed that you've done anything which is great! So happy for you. As for the hair loss do u think it might be like a 'shock loss'? I definitely don't think its permanent and its just because you recently had done the surgery. I did have a question, does it 'feel' as if you've done the surgery? As in on your forehead you can feel they have done an incision and it doesn't feel like your forehead before the surgery? Hope that makes sense(not talking about the numbness btw)!
December 26, 2018
Thank you!!!! Yes, that’s exactly what I want, is just to look “normal” and well balanced. And yes, I think the thin spots are definitely shock loss from the surgery but I also believe that my couple days of stress affected it too. Dr. A says that thin spots from shock loss always grow back with time so I’m not too worried.
So far, yes I feel like something has changed because even though you can’t see an obvious ridge I can feel it when I push my hair back (at the incision) and it’s still an odd feeling for my forehead to end so quickly above my brow. My forehead itself now feels normal but ends with a “seam”. I think it won’t feel totally normal to me until the incision is completely smoothed into my forehead and scalp. Does that make sense?
December 26, 2018
Ok, but your forehead doesn't feel 'weird' because they did the surgery, that's what I was asking. Like its misplaced or obviously feels as if you've had this surgery besides the fact that you can feel the incision when you touch your head? Day by day, living life you wouldn't feel as if you've had the surgery like there's something done? Sorry for the rambling and appreciate your responses, hopefully that makes sense!:)
December 29, 2018
Exactly! My forehead feels totally normal, it only feel obvious to my fingers when I touch the incision. It feels raised like a seam on clothing. Haha I understand your question, no it feels normal, not like I had anything done :)
December 29, 2018
Perfect, thanks so much! You dont understand how much this helps me feel confident in getting the procedure done, as well as your forehead looking amazing as well!:)

December 19, 2018
Ohhhhh you sound SO CONFIDENT in your skin (a pun) now. My gosh... you have gorgeous hair and a coveted forehead. Beautiful beautiful beautiful lady.
