For me forehead surgery was probable the only procedure that I did not see much swelling from. I haven't seen any changes to my forehead from shortly after surgery until now 4 months po. Still feels tight though, but at least I can feel it now lol. Things are still settling down, but I had multiple procedures. Not sure what it would have been like if I'd had forehead surgery only. Maybe just the tightness which I guess is something that the patient feels but it isn't very visible to others? Not sure, but noone mentioned anything about my forehead other than 'it's more round than it used to be', but people did notice swelling in other places. Swelling occurs mostly in soft tissues.
Why do you feel that the surgery made it harder to pass?
