Life Changing! New forehead new me lol
My whole teen and adult life I absolutely hated my forehead. I have hid behind my fringe my whole life (so much that after my surgery and showing people my photos, people were in disbelief at how large my forehead actually was) and felt I never really had a 'nice face' no matter what I did. When the wind would blow, I'd hide My face, in school I remember covering my fringe when it would rain because getting my fringe wet would mean it would go curly and therefore expose my hideous forehead and face.
I discovered the procedure when I was about 18, however as silly as it sounds, it just seemed so gruesome to me and rather an extreme surgery to go through with. I just figured I'd live with it.
Years later (26 years old) i enquired with clinics in South Korea, and decided I wanted to do this more than anything, put my deposit down and waited for my departure. It was finally happening!!
Consultation involved the doctor measuring my forehead, drawing where he will make the incision and going through all the basics with me and preparing me for the next day.
Surgery day, I was nervous as hell. I've had liposuction and breast augmentation before but those things never actually affected my self esteem at all... looking back, my past surgeries were just done in vain. That's absolutely fine but there is a difference when you are getting a surgery for something which really affected your sense of self etc.
I met with the Surgeon before surgery once more to make sure everything was okay and then I was getting prepped for surgery.
Fast forward to waking up:
Pain was minimal. Felt like a dull but tight headache immediately from waking up. The nurses gave me some pain killers in my IV and that was the last I felt of any more 'intense' pain during this whole ordeal. My throat hurt more due to the tube needed for GA and the compression garment was so tight, I feel that caused most of my pain lol. It felt as though I was wearing a hat 3 times too small for my head . Whenever I removed this , I felt immense relief.
I only kept the compression garment on for that evening and half of the next day + night. It was causing me way too much pain.
From the 2nd day onwards, my swelling was around the mid section of the back of my head to the crown of my head. If I touched my scalp, I could feel fluid or air bubbles move around. That was pretty gross but it's all just part of recovery. The fluid was apparently there due to the area receiving trauma and it would make its way out of my body on its own in the deswellimg process. During this time, as there was little to no feeling on my scalp, it's as if I could feel the fluid/air bubbles moving which of course made my scalp itch underneath, however as my scalp had no feeling, it literally was an itch I could not scratch!! It's a hard sensation to describe. Physically it's not too bad, just annoying but it lasts only about 2-3 days.
Recovery is rather smooth sailing in my opinion. Pain was fine. Nothing which required prescription pain Meds. Simple paracetamol was fine.
Results are of course immediate and I can just say I am so pleased with my results. I got about 2.5cm-3cm reduction.
Scarring appears to be ok. It will of course take time for the scar to settle and heal but that's ok and fine.
I'm absolutely over the moon with my new forehead. It's amazing how much of a difference this has made to my self esteem.
I'll attach pictures and am happy to answer any questions !
