Q: When to have brow lift after facelift and neck lift?
A:
I typically perform a lateral browlift as part of a lower facelift. There is no reason to do these as separate procedures since most of the incision use for the browlift is also required for the facelift. A lateral brow lift is often included in the cost of a facelift and so another good reason to do these together. If you must do these as separate procedures I would wait approximately 3 mos. for all of the facial edema to regress.
