In this section, you can find answers to common questions about brow lift:

We do not recommend smoking during the days before surgery. Because the nicotine constricts your blood vessels, blood flow in your body decreases. This hinders your recovery after the procedure. It is also important that you avoid taking blood thinners and painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen in the days before the procedure.

The type of anesthesia used by the surgeon depends on the treatment method. Only the endoscopic forehead lift is always done under general anesthesia. For a direct or lateral brow lift, you can choose local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia. For the forehead lift, we never use local anesthesia. The surgeon always performs this procedure after you have been sedated with anesthesia or put under full anesthesia.

Although the chances of you experiencing a complication are very low, it is important that you are aware of the risks associated with the brow lift. During and after the brow lift, you may experience:

An infection of the wounds
Post-bleeding
Allergic reaction to ingredients in anesthetics
Accumulations of fluid around the eyes
Temporary numbness in the treated area
Thickening in the scar tissue
Dissatisfaction with the result

Ideally, you should keep a week of rest after a brow lift. Rest for at least the first three days. The area around your eyes will still be swollen and blue and/or red.

After the procedure, scabs form on the wounds. Once the scabs are gone, the best way to care for the scars is to apply scar cream regularly. After a year, the redness disappears and the scars turn a white color.
