Update from 4 years later!
Still love my results, I would do this again in a heartbeat, I like my appearance so much better. The scar is slightly visible but totally worth it, I've had only 2 people ask about it in the time since the procedure. Make up doesn't really help the appearance of the scar as it's less of a discoloration issue and more that there is an actual indent where the incision was made. Again though, it hasn't really been an issue.
I did have some temporary hair loss at the incision site. I didn't notice the hair loss as much as I did the regrowth that started about a month or so after the procedure. It was very minimal (about 0.25 cm) right along the front of my hair line. I only noticed it when it all started to grow back at once. I got bangs at that point to cover this up and give the regrowth a chance to catch up to my regular hair length. The regrowth grew out with my bangs and has not been an issue since.
I had some numbness on the top of my head that resolved slowly over the next 2ish years. I would say I have 97% of my sensation on the top of my head back. This is really not an issue because I really don't feel things with the top of my head.
Overall, I am completely satisfied with my results and would recommend the procedure to anyone with a similar issue. :)

Update
Day 6-7 post op
So I was able to get my stitches out on post op day 6. Dr. Vogel told me that everything looks really good and, at this point, I can use makeup to cove up the incision. He said I can go back to the gym in 2 weeks but not to overexert myself before then. The incision line looks pretty good, some areas are practically invisible, others have some crusting and red spots but all in all, not too bad. I think by next week it'll be practically invisible. Even now, if I pull my hair forward and put concealer on that small area that shows, nobody seems to notice when I'm out in public. And even with the red spots, I think my face looks more in balance with my hairline 2 cm lower, it just looks so much better, I'm really happy with the results. My next follow up appointment is actually not until 3 months, so October, pretty cool.

I really liked the place I had the procedure, my only complaint was that, the morning of the surgery, the whole town had a power outage so my surgery was delayed for an hour until everything came back on. After the procedure I felt rushed out because I think the staff wanted to get back on track for their other procedures and they needed me out of there to get them started. That's my only complaint though, everything else was great. Dr. Vogel has been excellent about follow up care.
