27 Year-old Girl Forehead Reduction and Lowering Surgery - Results Before and After.

WORTH IT
Hello everyone,
I thought it would be great to give my review on my recent procedure. A little background about me: I have always had a ridiculously high hairline and it has always been something I've been insecure about. I had thought about this procedure for a long while, and I finally decided to get it done.
Date of procedure: 21st September 2022 in the morning!
I am now about 6 weeks post procedure (I'm writing this review on the 6th of November), so 6 weeks, 4 days. I'll give a quick breakdown of how I feel now after my procedure and what I did to help with my healing, my scar is healing great and I believe its mainly due to the products I used to help!
Weeks 1 - Terrible. The first 2-4 days are the worst, but it does get better day by day. I'm sensitive to anesthesia and I really felt the effects. The best thing about this procedure is that I didn't vomit after the surgery like I have done in the past! This was due to Dr Inglefield placing a nausea patch on the back of my ears!
Week 2-3 - Much better. Stitches were taken out about 10 days or 14 days if I remember correctly! Taking them out was a little painful, I can't lie, it was more uncomfortable more than anything. The swelling around the forehead is the worst part to be honest, I think this is the reason for all the discomfort! My head was also numb as hell.
Week 3-5 - Progressively better, day by day, the swelling went down a whole lot. I can see how my hairline would look eventually at this point.
Week 6 - I feel great, feeling is back in my forehead and its getting easier every day. I'm still obviously many weeks away from healing and I have a long way to go but I would love to keep this review alive and keep you all updated after one year.
Also, I didn't take any pain meds after the surgery! The surgery itself isn't painful, it's more the swelling and the discomfort of the stitches that are annoying.
P.S. I had A LOT of hairloss around the scar line about 2-3 weeks after the surgery and it carried on for a good 2 weeks, and then it gradually slowed down. So, yes, expect some temporary shock loss, I think this is normal as new hairs were already tiny and growing back the next day! Very strange but it is something to be aware of.
I have attached three pictures here, one before, one when I had stitches in, and one of how my hairline looks now along with pictures of all the products I'm taking to help!
Products I'm taking to help with healing:
1. The FE Serum given by the clinic (I truly don't think this helps a great deal, though, I am still using it!)
2. Liposomal products from SHCGlutathione - in particular their Vitamin C - I take 20ml once a day to help with healing and detoxification from the general anesthetic and the drugs form the surgery! Really helps! Probably the one thing that has helped the most! The Vitamin C is, I think the real magic, as its Vitamin C that aides in the healing of skin tissues! They also have Glutathione which is great for detoxifying. Would recommend.
3. Mederma Gel - been taking this since Week 3 and it's honestly a miracle. Would really recommend this.
4. Lots of water and biotin tablets!
Oh and the doctor lowered my hairline by 3.5cm! Amazing stuff! Also, I was also given a forehead shaving to smooth out the bump in my forehead so it looks more feminine!
I'll keep you all updated!

Any updates on how it's looking now?? Did your hair resolve from the shock loss?
Thank you for your post!
My hair has definitely resolved from the shock loss, I had ALOT of shock loss, like a lot lot, but it stopped around the 2-3 month mark, oh and no amount of supplements or hair treatments made it stop, it just randomly stopped so don't panic if that happens, just eat healthy, keep your iron and vitamin d levels in normal ranges (as the blood loss and the lack of sunshine can really contribute to hair loss!) and it will subside by the 2-3 month mark.
I'm not approaching 6 months post surgery - its technically only about 5 months and 1 week or less and about 70-80% of the hair lost due to shock loss is coming back, I'll post an update photo soon with clearer photos.
The biggest contributor was definitely taking my supplements, doing rice hair mask, taking my liposomal products - especially the vitamin C and taking biotin regularly. Thats helped the hair grow back a lot faster.
