Forehead Reduction healing gone wrong

Big foreheads definitely run in my family and when I started realizing that my forehead kept increasing in size over the years I noticed it made me look so much older. I even remember my ex boyfriend telling me he liked my hair better when I wore it down and more in my face then back in a bun or pony tail - because of my forehead size. I'm a very sensitive person and definitely when people comment on any physical traits of mine over the years it definitely hurts inside and slowly that comment becomes a reality for me. I have a pretty small sized head and my forehead takes up a rather large portion of it. I have been wanting this procedure for ten years or so now and definitely over the years it appears to be getting more prominent with age. I'm so excited to have finally saved up enough money to have the procedure done and hopefully get the most of it and feel happy when I go outside with my hair up! :-) actually I'm super excited to wear my hair up in general or even pulled back. One of the main things im also excited for is to look younger. My surgeon said he can also fix my eye asymmetry and give me an overal eyebrow lift which is super awesome too. I had a consultation with him and he is SO NICE! When I had my BA my surgeon was so quick at talking to me and didn't really answer my questions,.. didn't really care and also didn't follow up with me after one month post op.. so that was really discouraging. But this surgeon is really amazing and takes time to listen to any concerns. He told me my scalp isn't very lax unfortunately.. so he said he would try to get 2.5 cm and perhaps 3 cm in my widows peak areas. If that's the most he can do then I am more then accepting of that. It is better then nothing and I don't want him to go beyond what my body can do anyways and have higher chances of shock loss or extra swelling and bruising - making it a harder recovery. Especially shock loss!!!! I have very fine long hair that has taken me a while to grow out and if I lose my hair I would be very sad :-( so I really hope that doesn't happen. Fingers crossed!!
My surgeon said for me to stop any supplements two weeks before surgery just in case I'm taking any vitamins that cause blood thinning etc. I would really like to take some hair vitamins if possible - but I suppose I'll leave that till after.
I eat very healthy, all organic fruits and veggies plus plant based proteins and also eggs and fish. I do suffer with a bit of adult acne unfortunately due to hormone imbalance at the moment but it will be good when I won't have to deal with too much surface area on my forehead for acne :-D.
I also workout a few times a week and stay active outside as well. So I hope this surgery goes well :-) I am able to have two weeks off to recover and I also haven the told anyone except my boyfriend that I'm getting this procedure... so hopefully by Christmas I'll be healed up and no one will really notice! But we'll see...

My surgery got moved to February 7th in the afternoon. I am very nervous and excited, I really hope everything turns out like I want :-).
People have been so amazing on this site with answering my questions and easing my nerves. I really appreciate it!
If anyone had any extra thoughts on what to buy pre surgery that really helped them please let me know :-).
I wanted to add two photos to show my forehead length with measuring tape before hand. The measuring tape is confusing but my forehead in the center is 6.5 cm and 7cm in the widows peak areas.

I had my surgery last night at 7pm - 8:30ish. Pretty late in my opinion. It was originally suppose to be at 4pm but anther surgery got delayed so I have to wait quite a while! It’s ok though, I was so so nervous that sitting and reading plus listening to music helped a lot. The book “humans of New York” is quite amusing and inspiring. If anyone has read it !
The Anesthesiologist cane in me talked me I’d be under twilight sedation which is the step before general anesthesia- you’re not suppose to feel as bad I guess. I worried about being awake, but I was so exhausted and hungry and thirsty at that time I was just like do it I don’t even care anymore! Lol
Got into the surgery room and right away they laid me down on the bed and put an iv in and I was literally out cold right when they got the iv in... all I remember is being like “this feels weird” and out!
Woke up in recovery with my head all bandaged to the max - looks like I had a facelift or something - my eyes we’re already bruised when I woke up and my head felt big and swollen and tight. It was a bit painful but mostly just a lot of pressure you can’t control - like a bad headache lingering around .
Got home took Tylenol extra strength ( I will not be taking narcotics only Tylenol since I get very sick). I also took an Ativan too since it was 11 pm by that time. I was actually surprised how well I slept! I mean awkward of course with your head up but I wasn’t in any pain (just tight but bearable for sure)! I even tried to have my head side to side and it was fine -even though that may increase the swelling on the sides it was nice to sleep like that.
My hair is complete nest out the top on the bandages which is awesome lol... so much fun brushing that I’m sure later today. I have noticed that I can feel my scalp when I graze my fingers over my bandages! Just feels bruised definitely but not numb yet.. maybe I’m some places it will be when I take the bandage off later today (sooooo nervous omgoodness). It’s going to look so strange ! He wasnt able to get to quite the placement I wanted (3cm widows peeks and 2cm in the front) but he said he almost did! 2.8 cm instead type thing. I told him not to go where my body won’t let him and not to force it or to push it at all.
My eyes feel so swollen tho! Omgosh I feel like I was in a battle lol.
This morning I haven’t taken any meds for pain only my vitamin C and zinc and I feel fine honestly! Seems too good to be true right now. I can even chew fine without it hurting... maybe the really pain will start to come later? Maybe the pressure bandage holds it all in? I just feel like having almost zero pain on day 2 is strange lol :-/ .
Anyways I’ll update everyone again once I take the bandage off and update on the pain! :-)
