Brow Lift Recovery

Most of the patients can go home on the same day of the surgery and for the next 4 to 72 hours you do as little work as possible. Here are some Do’s and Don’ts:

• Apply the cooling packs on a regular basis during this time.

• Keep your head elevated and not to lay flat.

• Avoid reading and watching TV during this period, as there is a degree of visual blurring.

• Do not perform the activity that raises your blood pressure or pulse at least for 72 hours.

Your stitches will be removed after 7 to 10 days. Most of the people apply a little make up to disguise any residual bruising which may be present.
