alien head, some advice plz

hello this is part of a project im working on and i was told that i could just use mesh/smooth to smooth and use the smoothed version as my lowpoly. which confused me because the smoothed version has about 20 times more geometry, so would it be wrong to use the smoothed version as my low poly?
or is there a way to just smooth the thing without getting a ton of geometry?

Yes it would be wrong.You could use smoothing groups, maybe thats what your friend was talking about

You could always go back in and strip out some edge loops once it's been smoothed. It's a trick to round out your form without adding too much geo.
