Post operation notes for eyebrow cosmetic surgery

The first one to two hours after surgery is spent in the recovery room. When you are fully alert, you will be able to return home in the care of a friend or a family member. Some patients opt to spend the first night after surgery in the hospital. This may be advised when browlift is combined with other procedures.

The following morning, all bandages are removed. The surgical sites are inspected and cleaned and a lighter bandage is placed. Instructions are given on how to care for the incisions until the stitches are removed in seven to ten days.

Most patients describe the pain following endoscopic brow lift as mild to moderate. Pain medication is prescribed, although this is usually unnecessary after the first day. Sleeping with your head elevated can significantly reduce any discomfort.

There may be mild bruising and swelling which lasts for approximately one week. This can easily be covered with make up. Most patients return to work and social activities after one week. Heavy physical exercise is avoided for three weeks following an endoscopic.
