Brow Lift Procedure

First of all, you need to talk to a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon about a brow lift. 

During your first visit, your surgeon will likely:

Review your medical history.

Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions. Talk about any medications you’re taking or have taken recently, as well as any surgeries you’ve had. Tell your surgeon if you’re allergic to any medications.

Do a physical exam.

To determine your treatment options, your surgeon will examine and measure different parts of your face with your eyes open and closed. Photographs might be taken for your medical record.

Discuss your expectations.

Explain why you want a brow lift, and how you want to look after the procedure. Make sure you understand the benefits and risks.

Before a brow lift you might also need to:

Stop smoking. 

Smoking decreases blood flow in the skin and can slow the healing process. If you smoke, stop smoking before surgery and during recovery.

Avoid certain medications.

You’ll likely need to avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements, which can increase bleeding.

Arrange for help during recovery.

Make plans for someone to drive you home after you leave the hospital and stay with you for at least the first night of your recovery at home.

A brow lift is done in a hospital or an outpatient surgical center. During a brow lift, you’ll typically be comfortable with the aid of sedation anesthesia given through an IV in your arm. Or you may be given general anesthesia.

Brow lift techniques vary depending on your desired results. The specific technique your surgeon chooses will determine the location of the incisions and the resulting scars.

Brow lift surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 hours.

Brow Lift Post Op

After a brow lift, your forehead might be loosely wrapped to minimize swelling. A small tube might be placed along the incision site to drain any excess blood or fluid.

Your healthcare provider will give you specific instructions on how to care for your incisions. In the first few days after a brow lift: 

• Rest with your head elevated and take pain medication as recommended by your provider
• Apply cold compresses to relieve swelling
• Avoid exposing your incisions to excessive pressure or motion

As your incisions heal, you might experience itching and numbness, which will likely lessen over time. If your incisions are covered in bandages, they’ll likely be removed in 1 to 3 days. Sutures typically will be removed within 7 to 10 days of surgery.

Ask your healthcare provider when it’s OK to resume daily activities, such as washing and drying your hair and bathing. Keep in mind that the swelling might last several weeks.

Incision lines will fade over time. You might use makeup to conceal any prolonged bruising.

It’s normal to have some discomfort and swelling after a brow lift procedure.

After a brow lift, contact your doctor immediately if you have:

• Inflammation or Sudden Swelling
• Chest Pain or Discomfort 
• Abnormal Heartbeat or Irregular Heartbeats
• Shortness of breath or asthmatic
