Things were looking pretty good and today BOOM, DROPPP. I know swelling has probably subsided and I never expected PERFECT symmetry, but for all the $, time and 7 incisions / screws, does this look right? It's not as if they will go higher with swelling reduction, right? Could I have busted through my tensions that lead to the screws on top? My fear is, if we need a redo let's do it while the screws still may b on top?! Any thoughts appreciated

Depressions on the forehead after brow lift can occur and are usually only temporary. The dent may be caused by early fixation of the soft tissues down to the bone at that spot or excessive swelling around the spot. Digital massage is always helpful in managing healing soft tissues and should be...

A Mid forehead lift is not a procedure used commonly today.  Modern advances in endoscopic surgery have allowed the forehead to be lifted through small incisions hidden behind the hairline.  The Mid forehead lift incisions have the potential to leave visible scars.

Different surgeons have different requirements during recovery. I would adhere to your surgeon's advice; it may have something to do with the proximity of your face to the water/steam or the temperature of the bath. If you are really dying to take a bath talk to your PS about it.
