I am thinking about getting a forehead reduction next year, but the only time I would be able to get the procedure would be a month before I leave for college outside of the country. I just want to know if this would be feasible, considering I can't really fly back for any followups (if they are frequent a month post-op)? Also, exactly how presentable would I look after a month? Thank you!

Answer: Recovery forehead reduction Thank you for your question. Recovery from forehead reduction is actually relatively easy. you will have sutures that need to be removed at approx 1 week. There may be some swelling and bruising around the eyes which usually resolves by 7-10 days. At one month, signs of surgery will not be noticeable. The incision will still be healing and may look like a fine red line but usually not that visible if done properly. Most patients that we see from out of town, come in for their surgery, stay for a few days then fly home without any problems. Follow up can be done via Skype, photos, or phone conversations. Best of luck

Answer: Recovery after Forehead Reduction Sutures are removed about 6 days after a forehead reduction procedure. Other than some redness of the hairline secondary to hair growing through and in front of the incision, which you can hide with a little makeup, you would be free to travel. At one month after surgery you would look good. Have fun studying abroad.
