What to expect on the day of Hairline Lowering surgery

Before the surgery begins, you’ll meet with Dr. Raggio to review the treatment plan, at which point he’ll make detailed preoperative marking to guide the surgery. Then, to maximize your comfort, you’ll receive some carefully selected oral medications before being taken back to the surgical suite wherein you receive intravenous sedation by our expert anesthesia provider.
