The hairs are growing through the scar by a few cm now. The scar is pretty imperceptible. Love love love the results.

Have you still been able to wear your forehead out w/o any issues or comments?
Yes. I actually wore my forehead out 2 months post-op to my wedding without issues. Definitely using sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation of the scar.
Looks great!

Everything is still awesome. No shock hair loss. The only thing is that a couple of my deep sutures are poking through, but Dr. K just told me to clip them close to the skin with cuticle clippers. In the photos, the little hairs are the ones above the scar that he clipped short before the surgery.

Did he cut out a section of your forehead or did he take hair grafts from the back of your head?
He removed a section of the forehead.
Did you get the lowering you wanted? The scar looks great!
I did! And thanks! Looking at it today it's absolutely imperceptible.
will your eye brow and eyelid lift up after the hairline lowering surgery? any difference change?
Not really. It slightly tightened the skin on my forehead, which is definitely not a bad thing. The first couple of days post-op you will feel like your eyebrows are higher, but the skin relaxes in the first week.

Sorry I don't have better before photos. Honestly, I hated my forehead so much that I would delete photos that showed it (or I'd crop the photo so only the lower part of my forehead would show). My hairline, from temple to temple, was C-shaped, so it almost looked like my hairline was receding (it wasn't, we just have that hairline in our family).
Dr. K. flipped the C, so now I have a much more "youthful" hairline.
