I spent £8k to change the shape of forehead after cruel trolls called me an alien
Tooth gem technician feels like a ‘Disney princess’ now
A YOUNG woman tormented over her “disproportionately large forehead” has spent £8000 to surgically lower her hairline.
Lisa Mckay spent years being self-conscious about her “big” forehead and her hairline that “peaked” back at the sides.
The 25-year-old was mocked by bullies who Photoshopped her face on to photos of Space Raider crisp packets, declaring she “looked like an alien”.
This coupled with being branded a “fivehead” and others mocking her for having a forehead “you could land an airplane on” depressed her.
The tooth gem technician resorted to getting floral tattoos inked just below her hair in 2020 for disguise.
After spending years heavily contouring around her hairline last summer, Lisa decided to get a mullet and fringe.
But a cowlick didn’t help. Her fringe didn’t sit right and she was left “equally frustrated”.
After learning about forehead reduction surgery on TikTok, Lisa booked a Harley Street clinic for the £8150 procedure on Tuesday.
She was thrilled with the results of her “cute little rounded” forehead which made her feel “like a Disney princess”.
Lisa, from Paisley, said: “I honestly can’t put into words how happy I am. I can’t believe that’s my forehead looking back at me.”
“Ever since I was about 13/14, I became aware that the proportions of my forehead were a wee bit off.
“I’ve never liked how big it was and never been happy with the shape of my hairline itself,.
“My hair peaked back a lot at the edges, I always wanted quite a wee rounded head.
“At the time, it was really hurtful. I eventually had to move schools.”
The surgeon assessed her face and scalp laxity then drew the markings for the hairline.
Lisa’s skin was sliced open, her scalp peeled back off her skull and stretched over the skull towards the new hairline.
Excess skin, approximately 2cm, was cut away before her scalp was reattached to her skull using microscopic hooks before her new hairline was stitched together.
Lisa said: “My hairline’s moved by at least a couple of centimetres, especially the bits at the side, they moved quite significantly.
She is taking precautions before her hairline sets. “I have to keep suntan lotion on it to help with scarring,” Lisa said.
“I’m not allowed to tie my hair up for three weeks because of the pressure and I’m not allowed to dye my hair or wear hair extensions for eight weeks
“I’m allowed to get laser tattoo removal on the tattoo that’s left on my forehead as of four weeks from my surgery.
“I’m excited to wear make-up for the first time, I won’t have to contour as heavily.”
