Forehead Reduction/hairline Lowering? (photo)
I have been considering having my forehead shaped to a desirable fit for my face. I did the "pinch your skin" test on myself to test flexibility.

I'd like more info regarding what the procedure is actually like, if not from a patient, then from a Dr. who knows about the initial experience&the recovery processes/alternatives.

Hairline lowering
There are too many factors to consider in answering all your questions in this forum. If you are of average height, I would think you would want the hairline lowered about one inch. To do so without the two stage expander assisted operation, you should have enough laxity to actually pick up a fold of forehead skin below the hairline. My website should have answers to some of your other questions.
