Timing for Brow Lift after Blepharoplasty

Sam Jejurikar, MD answers: Brow Lift after upper Eyelid Surgery?

I'm aware it's commonly done in reverse, but when can I have Brow Lift after upper Eyelid Surgery, considering scar healing?

Dear IzzyNou,

It would be prudent to wait at least 6 months after your eyelid surgery before proceeding with a brow lift.  As you know, minute amounts of swelling persist for many months after any type of eyelid surgery.  Allowing this to resolve completely will allow your surgeon to optimize the results of your browlift.

Best of luck.
