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