Today is the 5th day since I had forehead reduction surgery. I was originally going to get hairline transplant no matter what, but I was worried about the waiting time after hairline surgery...the price...but I looked into forehead reduction surgery and did it right away. The price is cheaper than transplant, and I think it's great that I can see the effects right after the surgery. My M-shaped hairline is severeㅠ The estimate for transplant is about 3,000 to 3,500 hairs ㅋㅋ When I went for a forehead reduction consultation, I originally consulted to match the middle vertex and lower only the M-shapes on both sides. But on the day of the surgery, I got a little greedy and lowered the vertex itself a bit more and lowered the entire hairline more. I thought I'd regret it if I didn't lower it now. ㅋㅋ Since my face is long, I thought it wouldn't be very effective if I only lowered the M-shape and it would continue to look longer. That's why the director said that the ratio is right to lower only the M-shape and not the vertex, but my scalp could go down more, so I lowered it overall~~! I'm satisfied. I don't remember exactly how many centimeters I lowered it, but ㅠ Both M-shapes were over 2 centimeters. It came down~ They said that it can't come down as much as you want it to. They said that it usually comes down to 1.5-2 cm
. They'll test your scalp elasticity when you go for a consultation, so you'll know how much it'll come down during the consultation!
On the day of the surgery, I woke up under
anesthesia and the surgery was all done. I had the surgery in the morning, but in the evening, when the anesthesia wore off, I had a headache..
I bought Tylenol in addition to the medicine prescribed by the hospital, and I took about three on the first day. The
headache wasn't that bad, but since I don't get sick easily, I hate lingering headaches ㅠㅠ
I didn't take Tylenol from the second day~~! It's just that when I lie down, my scalp feels tight??
They say that headaches are different for everyone, but mine seems to have gone away quickly!!
Now, the incision area is healing, so I don't feel any pain except for the tingling sensation. I wish the stitches would come off.
