 A brow lift is a surgical procedure that can help improve the appearance of your eyebrows by raising them and removing excess skin. This surgery is often performed on people with sagging eyebrows, deep wrinkles in their forehead, or furrows between their eyebrows. Recovery from a brow lift can be a little tricky, so it’s important to know what to expect before you go through with the surgery. Let’s discuss the recovery process in detail and tell you what you can do to make the healing process easier!
Post-Surgery
Brow lift recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery, but most people will take about two weeks to recover. During this time, you’ll need to keep your head elevated as much as possible and avoid any strenuous activity. You may also experience swelling and bruising around your eyes, which should go away within a few days.
When it comes to recovery, there are a number of essential details to keep in mind, such as:
- Try to arrange a loved one to pick you up from surgery
- For the first 24 hours, bandages should be worn
- Apply ice packs to the eyes for the first 24 hours
- Do not sleep on your side for two weeks
- No strenuous activity or exercise for at least two weeks
- Avoid getting the surgery area wet. Avoid showering for the first 24 hours
- Do not smoke for at least six weeks before surgery
It is vital to follow your doctor’s instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
Discomfort
You will likely feel some discomfort and tightness in the forehead and scalp area following surgery. This is normal and should subside within a few days. Some bruising and swelling are also common, but it should dissipate within a week or two. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions closely to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery process.
Results
Brow lift results are noticeable immediately. Over time swelling and scarring will fade, and you will enjoy a more youthful appearance. After several months, the full results of your surgery will be evident.
