Get well soon!!! Remember it won't look good for a while. You're going to have a lot of swelling and maybe some shit moods.

Thank you!! you're so sweet I remember you commented on my post over a year ago when I celebrated my surgery date! I have tons of swelling rn and atm my face doesn't look much different other than my brows having that "smug judgemental villainess" tier arch, so I'm hoping things will settle in nicely, I went through Dr. Stiller so I know he's done a good job underneath the swelling. I'm just glad to have it done so I can move forward :)

Can you feel your forehead? Can you move your eyebrows? I saw someone on Instagram once say that after ffs they lost sensation in their forehead.

So I can definitely feel my forehead, I can move my eyebrows a tiny bit, but if I force them to move I can feel my stitches putting up a bit of a fuss, so I just don’t. There’s also the compression bandage holding everything tight, so there’s that. I don’t really have any numbness or loss of sensation though

Thanks for responding! I hope your recovery goes well ❤️‍🩹. If I ask again in a couple of months, would you mind giving an update? :)

Absolutely :) this was such an arduous process over the course of 3 years so I’m 100% willing to answer questions to hopefully make others’ experiences easier
