Eyebrow lifts often have recovering times of 10 – 14 days to allow swelling to improve and the bruising around the eyes to resolve.
Recovery Process
The length of the recovery will depend on how extensive of a procedure the patient undergoes. For eyebrow lifts, the general recovery time is 14 days. Generally, post- operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and reduce the recovery time.
Patients sometimes report headaches after the procedure. Commonly, the most pain is felt the first 48 hours following the procedure. The pain can be treated effectively with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize the risk for potential problems by carefully following the directions given after the brow lift surgery.
Although some results are apparent immediately following a brow lift, for the first few weeks post-surgery, most patients report swelling and puffiness. These symptoms are gradually reduced and resolve within two to three following the surgery.
