Pretrichial Brow and eye pinch lift - my hairline should come down 1cm

I’m on Day 2 since my procedure. The first 24 hours were the worst. I could not keep any food down despite taking anti-nausea meds and a had a low grade headache. Sleeping in a lounge chair recliner with the back set up to keep my head elevated.

I had a drain for the first 24 hours and when it was pulled out it hurt like hell! It felt like a tube of fire being pulled out of my scalp. I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was not prepared for that pain. The doctor was sorry for how much it hurt.

I have a high forehead and hairline so that’s why he chose to do the Pretrichial style surgery. He said my hairline should come down 1cm.

He gave me eye drops since my eyelids did not quite close when the tube was in.

I definitely feel better, more clear minded and no nausea since getting the tube out. I’m off the past n meds he gave me and that has probably helped. He said everything looked good at the appointment I had with him yesterday.

Later today I get to remove this head & gave bandage and wash my bloody hair. Looking forward to that.

I have a little bit of bruising under one eye. Stitches get taken out on Thursday morning, that’s in 5 days.

Removed the wrap and washed my hair. It was so knotted up from the dried blood that it took 2+ hours to try to get the knots out. With the eyebrows lifted and the hairline a little lower, in the comparison pics you can see the “reduction” of my forehead.

There are something like 4 different kinds of brow lifts and this one was definitely the right call for me as I have always been self conscious of my big forehead.

I am off all meds except the antibiotics. My eyes and forehead are sore where the stitches are but otherwise seem to be doing fine. I do need plan on taking a pain pill an hour prior to my appointment to get the stitches and staples removed.

There is swelling but so far, I like what I see.

Week 1 completed. Had stitches taken out this morning. I took an anxiety & pain pill an hour before my appointment as the skin around the stitches and staples is still sore and tender.

Happily, Michelle Maria was gentle and made it the best experience it could be. She gave me packets of Bromelain and Arnica to start taking for the bruising. The hairline cut is raised with divots. I’ll be interested to see how this scar heals. I bought a special cream that Michelle said I start using on Sat.

Next week I’ll have to go to Ulta to pick up Dermablend to cover what’s left of these bruises around my eyes as I have to start seeking people again.

Everything looks great. I do have a bump on one side of my forehead above and to the side of my left eye. Maybe just swelling? Next appointment in a week with Dr. Parry.
