Can I have forehead reduction (FR) surgery after trichophytic brow lift?

Question

I plan to have 3 procedures in the same surgery day: septorhinoplasty, lip lift and trichophytic brow lift. I also want a FR procedure but the surgeon who will perform the other 3 procedures doesn’t specialise in FR. So, I would like to have the FR with a surgeon who specialises in it and has done thousands of them. Will the trichophytic brow lift prevent me from having FR in the future?If no, then when can I have FR after the initial triple surgery?Will there be a problem with the blood supply?

Trichophytic browlift and forehead reduction should be done together as i described.. Having done more than 5000 of these since i invented this i see no reason to separate these. If the scalp is very tight and the hairline very high i use a tissue expander first.

Just wait on the browlift.  I have done more of these than perhaps any practicing surgeon.  Do the browlift at the same time as the forehead reduction.  It's the same incision, more or less, but subtle changes make a big difference.  Don't have it done twice.
