BTW… Dr Yao (performed my surgery) is a female dr at Line Plastic. The one on YouTube is another dr in the same office.

Hello Nick78362,
Thank you for sharing your experience & result! Your look great! Congrats! May I ask why you’ve decided to go with Dr. Yao instead of Dr. Hsu? I’ve had my consultation with Dr Hsu last month. He seemed a little rush during the consultation. I was quoted 9.5K for occipital MMA with Dr Hsu and have negotiated down to 8.5K. I haven’t booked my surgery yet. Could you please share your experience you had with Dr Yao? Also, how do you like your result now?
Thank you.

How did you negotiate down the price?

The two posts from two different members who had their occipital MMA done @ Line are very helpful.
1) 8K with Dr Yao in Jun 2021
2) 8-9K with Dr Hsu in Nov 2021.
I am not good with price negotiation. I just kept asking for more discount.

Hi everyone,

I have bern following this thread since summer last year and thank you for everyone’s post I now get informed and I’m certain that I want skull aigmentation too.

I have big forehead which somehow curves more backside sometimes I think it looks like alien’s head shape.

I found someone mentioned dr. Ali Gürlek in Istanbul. Did anyone have experience with him? I checked his Instagram, he covers various range of plastic surgery and some include skull augmentation. The UK’s celeb, Jessica Alvez, was one of his patients.

I have been talking to him through Instagram DM. He quoted around 3000-4000 USD and 1 week in Istanbul is enough to get the procedure done.

After several weeks of talking through IG, mail, and whatsapp, he also showed me two pictures that were not on his Instagram. I am thinking of flying to Istanbul by the end of October to meet him. But if anyone knows something about his work and can share some information, I’d be grateful to you.

His IG is prof.dr.aligurlek
His webite is aligurlek.com.tr

So I went for a follow up today to have the gauze changed. I got to see the result, but keep in mind that I still have swelling because the surgery was yesterday. Also my hair is extremely matted down for being in the gauze for 24 hours. The first set of photos are the before images. The photos of me with the white shirt are the after images. Overall, i am extremely satisfied and I can confidently say that I feel that my head looks completely normal now. 50ML of MMA was used as that is what my scalp could stretch and accommodate. Can it be more round? Sure… but now know that I no longer look deformed and soon can do what I please with my hair, including shaving it bald if I choose. Dr Hsu at Line LA did my surgery. It was under local sedation, I was completely awake and heard and felt everything but there was no pain. It was just very weird feeling but I did not care. The night after the surgery you can expect your head to feel like you got hit with a sledgehammer and you may have a major headache. Day 2 is better, still some pain but tolerable without meds. Just a minor headache. I still have to wear the head wrap for 2 more days and then I am done. My wife will remove the staples after 2 weeks, she is a nurse. There are 30 staples. I am reliever and still cant believe this nightmare ordeal is over. The staff at Line were amazing. The doctor was great. Surgery was quick. To anyone out there thinking of having this done, do it! It will change your life. I feel like I finally look how I should should have looked. Thank God its over. I welcome any feedback from
You guys or any questions you may have.

Hi guys , I m also considering to have this surgery soon maybe in a few months but I can't find an answer to my critical questions on line so I wish someone can help me here

May the procedure cause hair loss in long term or can a hair transplant be done on the area where has bone cement underneath ,

I m very anxious if the procedure may increase the risk of losing hair or prevent the medical solutions as I m already dealing with male pattern baldness

Thanks in advance for all answers and advises

Not equipped to answer this question but you could hit them up (Line plastic surgery) on Instagram and ask them that question, they reply fairly fast.

Hey I'm totally recovered now. Looking into a fat transfer now to finish my forehead off, but have been sidetracked by life.

I'm not sure about the simcard question tbh as I didn't need one. I have Verizon and just switched to an international plan for a month to access 4G when I needed it, which wasn't often. Otherwise I just saved addresses on my phone and used wifi. Try searching this forum for info about simcards.

I'd say everyone I encountered was able to speak English well enough for me to get the gist of what they were saying, but there were a few moments of confusion for sure, mainly because I'm terrible at understanding accents, lol. The only person I met who didn't understand me at all was my taxi, so try to avoid them. Dr. Song speaks it near perfectly.

Everything is great, no issues at all.

Hello! So I’ve been following this forum for quite some time now because I struggle with plagiocephaly. I looked into jogak and actually had plans to travel to Seoul for this procedure.
I’mso glad I found your results because I live in Northern California and I would much rather travel to LA for the same procedure. I just had some questions for you.
How do you go about contacting Dr. Hsu?
How long would recommend staying in LA to have this procedure done and recovery?
Approximately how much did it cost?
How long did it take to have procedure scheduled from time of consultation?
