Dr. Attenello is a MASTER at her craft! I initially met her several years ago for the hairline lowering surgery but was kind of afraid to finally do it until last year. All I can say is – there was absolutely no reason to be scared! First off, Dr. Attenello put me completely at ease. She basically walked me through every single step of the procedure which helped calm my nerves and really gave me an idea of what to expect. I only remember slowly falling asleep and then waking up with a wrap over my hair and ice on. There was really no pain and no anesthesia effects. It must have been a really good anesthesia doctor she has because this was the first time I didn’t have any nausea. Then that night, there was a little swelling and numbness – everything that Dr. Attenello told me I would feel. But there was virtually no pain whatsoever! I got pain pills anyway, but didn’t need to take any. The next day, I went back to the office and she removed the dressing and I could instantly see my new forehead and it is P-E-R-F-E-C-T!! So long hats and bangs!
I can’t believe I wanted this long, but at the same time, I knew I had to do it when I was ready. Dr. Attenello was so patient with me and she’s an amazing doctor and surgeon. The incision is already invisible and the numbness to my scalp is coming back. Nobody really noticed that I had anything done, which is perfect because I was doing this for myself and not anyone else. I just feel much better wearing my hair up or going to the beach. Dr. Attenello changed my life for the better and I will always be indebted to her. Do not hesitate people, she’s the best!
