Healing Nicely

I feel like the healing process does take a while on this one. Its almost been 3 months and the hair is growing back and the scar is almost invisible on the left side.
My forehead is still tight and on the left side I can feel the deep tissue suture or something, but the Dr. Toby said that was fine. Im very happy with my new forhead, cant wait to use my eyebrows again, considering I showed a lot of expressions with them.

If youre considering this surgery, remind yourself it does take a while. You will end up hating it at one point, but its worth it.

A few days after the sutures were removed


The forehead I should've been born with!

The type of surgery I got is hard to explain to people, so... I didn't. I told no one about this procedure, not even my boyfriend who nursed me back to health.
How'd I manage to do that? Well... I just didn't tell him. I was able to hide it with beanies and headbands pretty well and no one else has noticed, except for me. It's a BIG change with certain lighting!
My forehead is now smooth and very feminine. When there was swelling, it did look like I had botox done and yellowish bruising? around my eyes and temples. My nerves all seem to be healing well, the top of my head by the incision is numb, but the rest is still normal. I'm 1 month post op and my forehead is still tight, I cant show much emotion with my eyebrows at this stage... it's taking some time.

I do not wash my hair daily, but what I didn't realize is how much dandruff flakes you accumulate! It's not pretty, but it's there.

I use some Neosporin around the incision and I try to massaging lightly.
I still feel pressure by where the staples were set and hair (looks like a receding hairline)- that is not numb. I'm not worried about the hair loss right now, it's minimal.

Another thing I noticed was my forehead getting oily fast. It must be from the stretching, but I had no breakouts. I have no more tzone! It's the best... especially in photos.

I'm VERY happy with this procedure, but I'm ready for it to heal.
I can't wait to finally pull my hair back and feel confident. It's been 10years since I wore anything other than a side part... can't wait to change that!
