    I think that the difference you are seeing is that in the second picture her head is tilted making her right eye higher than her left and making the eyebrows look level. I can see why she is unhappy when she is looking in the mirror with her eyes level. I am not trying to Make Faith2012 feel worse than she already does, but with your doctor ignoring you, sometimes it's good to know you aren't crazy.

    There are a number of ways the forehead can be "lifted". One is to cut into the hair and pull the forehead up. There are others as well. My surgeon was planning to put an incision on each side of my receeding hairline to pull up my eyebrows, but ran into a problem which resulted in making an incision across my forhead cutting off my widows peak to excise the skin. He pulled my hairline down, so I have a lower forehead. Mine was too high to begin with and he got rid of my receding hairline, so this is one part of the surgery I can live with. The jury is still out on the rest. You are right about surgeons not being up front about the recovery time for a forehead lift or the side effects. Telling you that you could have this or that side effect, without explaining the ramifications, is not full disclosure. My forehead is not perspiring. Not a word was mentioned about that being a side effect. How would anyone know to ask?
  • Posted to Forehead Lift. Peroxide on Stitches Caused Chemical Burn? on 24 Aug 2012

    Years ago (40+) HP was commonly used to "clean" wounds, but since it actually damages (burns) raw skin, which slows the healing process, doctors recommended that it not be used on raw wounds. My doctor gave me a prescription ointment for the stitches. However he did use it to clean the blood off to remove my forehead stitches. Weeks later he recommended HP twice a day. I used it once and it softened the skin some, but I found that valseline softened it more and allowed the dead skin cells where the stitches had been to slough off.
