Forehead Lift: Q&A

What is the Cost of Reduction of the Length and Width of my Forehead, Plus Burring to Flatten my Forehead Bone?

I'll also need a skin expanding implant to help reduce the length of it. Can this all be done in one sitting (excluding the 6 weeks of skin expansion)? I've read that I need to graft hair from the donor site to cover the scar on my hairline, and just graft hair to the sides of my forehead to reduce the width, which causes no scarring. Isn't there a laser surgery, dermabrasion, or peel that can remove scars? Or at least from the epidermis so it won't be visible.
