Here is the photo one month out. It looks better in person but I figured I'd post anyway. I'm actually wearing a ponytail right now and you can't see anything.

Surgery Jan 27th, Feb 27th update
All is still going well. I have had a few random headaches which is not usual for me but isn't that is what Advil was invented for? I saw my regular doctor yesterday for my physical and he said it was normal to have headaches. He also looked at my scars and said they looked great.
It is strange that when I look in the mirror I feel normal, like not much has changed but all I have to do is take a look at my before and after photos and I know I had a lot of work done. I think it is a result of it looking so natural, more like I did probably 10 years ago.
I do put makeup on the scar a bit, I will take photos of the scar without makeup and post them. I know progress photos are helpful for those that are behind me in the healing process or considering a brow lift.
Just for disclosure purposes, I had eyelash extensions put on, I started using Latisse about 3 weeks ago but thought this would be a jump start. I'm hoping that as the extensions fall out the real ones will be thicker and fuller. Once they are all off I will post before and after photos .

What a difference, your eyes are so open and inviting now. The wonderful world of surgery.

you look absolutely beautiful what a difference very inspiring thank you so much for all of your updates and your beautiful pictures

You look incredible! Thanks so much for posting. I'm following you closely and yesterday and today have been a struggle. I had a neck lift done at the same time and the swelling and bruising has been to the point I can't look in the mirror. It really helps to see your pictures and know I'm not that far from looking so refreshed. I'm not a week out yet, so your pictures and updates are making a HUGE difference. Thank you very much.

I'm so glad these have helped, I looked at tons of photos while I was healing, it helped to have a good point of reference. I do have one photo I refused to post, it was 7 days post op, I was strangely swelled and looked "plastic". It does get better pretty quickly. I hope you are better soon.

Headed for my first postop check today. My incision across the forehead also has staples, so you can imagine how that looks. I totally understand the "plastic" comment. Keep in mind I had a neck lift at the same time, so I have a Marlon Brando look right now going on too. Tough phase mentally. There aren't really any other blogs that do as good a job of detailing the improvements and describing the journey as yours has done. Fingers crossed in three more weeks I'll be smiling too. Thank you again.

I think you got a great result. So happy for you. You are giving me hope that I can have results as good as you. Thanks for sharing.

How about the top of my head
I thought I would add that I cannot feel part of the top of my head. It is funny that he worked on my forehead and that has slightly reduced sensation which is not a surprise but the top of my head has considerably less feeling. Yes I was warned about this but it is weird to brush your hair and not really feel it at all. I was also told not use my hair dryer for a few weeks so I did not burn it on accident as well. So for those of you whom are mothers and had an epidural during child birth, this feels similar, you can touch it but you can't really feel it. And just like child birth, it is so worth it...

Interesting about the hair dryer ... I'll have to add that to my list. Do you use your regular shampoo or a baby shampoo? Thanks
February 17, 2015
I just used regular shampoo, but I did not wash it for a couple of days. My first time my girlfriend did it, I just laid on the counter by the kitchen sink so she could do it. I knew there was a lot of blood in my hair and I thought it would be easier to clean with someone else doing it.
February 23, 2015
Thank you, now that I've had my pre-op the binder I received states in more than one place No Hair Dryer. I don't think I'll be washing my hair quickly afterwards. I even thought about calling the place I get my hair done and have them do a light gentle shampoo of course explaining about the surgery. So may little things to think about.
February 23, 2015
wow! your journey sure seemed a little brutal at first but the results are soo good! Hope you are well! :))
February 26, 2015
I hope you will continue to post your progress. I'm about a month behind you, only on day 3. It has helped to see your dramatic improvement and hear your experience. Is the feeling coming back in the top of your head yet? That is beyond weird for me.

The numbness is something I too am waiting to resolve but it is only on the left side of the top of my head. I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with endoscopic brow lift on above both eyes. My doctor only states, "Give it sometime." There are some very interesting nerve paths in our scalps, I guess.

Qi don't think your numbness will go away only because it seems any surgery that takes place the incision line always seems to get numb as I have seen many reviews about that and myself having had surgery seems the tiny nerves r cut, a lot of drs. Do not like to discuss numbness much.

I had the same type of brow lift only mine was done in a zig zag with about 100 stitches not staples. I have continued pain and my forehead feels like a huge rubber band is pulling tight on my incision. Do you suffer still with chronic pain and pulling?
If you look at my post under the title " 63 brow lift what happened? " I also developed a bad wound.
