I'm planning to get a hair transplant but I live alone is it safe to go through the surgery by myself or should I arrange for someone to be there with me? I'm a bit worried about managing right after the procedure since I won't have help at home

You can manage alone, but having someone for the first 24‚Äì48 hours helps, especially for medications, food, and support. Arrange minimal chores post-op to avoid discomfort.

Can I get surgery to reshape my forehead? I had an accident as a kid that changed my skull shape, and now my forehead looks uneven and unnatural. It really bothers me are there any procedures to fix this?

Skull reshaping may be performed surgically or via the use of helmets. In adults, skull reshaping by reshaping of the skull bones is not possible due to the inherent risks of blood loss. As such, skull reshaping in adults is mainly performed via the use of custom-made implants.
