Forehead reduction, finally!!

I’m so excited but nervous! My surgery is happening tomorrow with Dr. Gal Aharonov. I’m now 27 and my large forehead and receding temples have really bothered me since I was about nine years old. I’m very confident and happy with the rest of my appearance, but my forehead has been the only insecurity that really holds me back! I’ve tried to embrace it and get over it, but I just feel that’s so unflattering to the balance and proportions of my face. It photographs even larger Han it looks in person. I hate wind and swimming in front of others, I really only feel comfortable with styled and hair sprayed side bangs. Anyway, you get the picture...I’m just so happy to discover that this procedure exists and I can’t wait to get through it! Wish me luck!

Today was he unveiling of my new forehead! I love it so far but it’s a bit hard to tell with crazy greasy hair and bruising. So far I’m super happy about the new position but I’m a little nervous that such a drastic change will be too obvious.. hopefully people will just think I’m finally styling my hair differently lol. It’s definitely emotional, a dream come true!
It hurts and my neck is really sore but the pain is easily managed with the prescribed meds and Tylenol. It was pretty difficult to sleep last night because you have to stay elevated and on your back, so I woke up about every hour. My boyfriend helped me walk and get to the bathroom and back each time. Do not try to do it by yourself until the next day.
Today was easier, I’m able to get up and move around by myself. I took a shower at the end of the day and feel much better! It was pretty tender at he incision itself but you can’t feel the rest of your head when you wash it. The incision looks craaaaazy, I can’t wait to see it healed soon!
Dr. Aharonov and Faye have been so great throughout the whole process! They’re both so reassuring and helpful, I had complete trust in them. My case was really difficult but Dr.A did everything he could to get me where I wanted to be. Thank you!!!

Thankfully it was much easier to sleep last night! I kept for about 4-5 hours at a time and took pain meds when I did wake up. I have very minor bruising but my forehead and neck are definitely swollen and puffy. I’ve slept on the couch most of the day, icing on and off and tying to drink a lot of water along with all my meds and supplements.
I think I love the new placement..but it’s still hard to judge at this point. I can’t wait until next week when most of this will have subsided! It’ll be great to thoroughly wash my hair and see how it really frames my face.
