Is endoscopic or full ear to ear forehead surgery the best choice to lift the eyelids? I have no forehead wrinkles but skin over (outside) of brow needs lifting
When you are researching surgical techniques, you will gain important information to help you ask better questions during your consultation. I would not recommend brow lift as a method to primarily improve the eyelids, but it does help the eyebrows and heavy under-eyebrow skin. It also improves frown lines between the brows and forehead lines and looseness.
These benefits can generally be obtained with endoscopic, short-scar methods. There are many modifications that may be used. In the situation you describe, lateral temporal lift alone may give the results you seek.
My most important recommendation is not to choose a method, but choose an experienced surgeon and seek their opinions about your options. The operator is more important than the operation.
I can't decide whether to have Mylar and Brow lift or Fraxel Re:pair. I have good skin, but some under eye bags and one droopy eye. I use Botox for that, but want to stop.
I'm scheduled for all treatments, but is it too much and too painful? I have good skin. I'm 57.

First, it sounds to me like you need to have consultations with experienced, board certified plastic or ENT-facial plastic surgeons. They would give you a well- designed plan to address skin, underlying fat and muscle, looseness, laxity, etc. Your focus should be on selecting an experienced surgeon for the facial rejuvenation surgery and non-surgical care, rather than pre-selecting a method for the treatments. The entire professional service you receive is more important than individual steps of an operation. Search for quality, not features.
Second, the individual methods you mentioned in your post all address different aspects in facial rejuvenation. Re:pair is a method that generally gives mild improvements in skin texture with multiple treatments. Botox decreases excessive localized muscle activity. Browlift can reposition lax forehead tissues, improve over-active muscles, raise eyebrow position, and more. None of these methods addresses the under-eye bags that you mentioned. None address a droopy eyelid. (This might need the expertise of an ophthalmologist / oculoplastic surgeon.)
In short, start over at the beginning. Select an excellent surgeon for evaluation and on-going care.
Is it normal for a suture and post to come out 18 days post op? Lump above left eyebrow? Is it normal to have a large indent on the top of my head? Is it normal to have stinging on the right side of my Chin implant when I touch or move my mouth?
I am not looking to sue, I am frighten and looking for unbiased answers. Thank you.

At eighteen days postop you should be over most of the acute surgical discomfort. Now come the various symptoms in the next phase of recovery. Typically these can include swelling, tingling, numbness, temporary irregularity, etc. These sound like some of the things you are experiencing. Keep in tough with your surgeon and the nurses should be of help along the way.
