Endoscopic Brow Lift: Very little pain.

George Beraka, MD answers: How painful is an endoscopic brow lift?

What is the pain associated with an endoscopic brow lift? I had a full face lift 7 months ago and I really wish I would have gotten the brow lift as well but I was afraid of doing everything at once, opting to wait and do them seperately. Is is very painful or manageble pain? How long does the discomfort last? I hear the results are immediate... That should help with some of the pain. When I had my facelift, I could jump for joy I was so elated.

All surgery is associated with some discomfort. We do endoscopic brow lifts on an outpatient basis in our accredited office surgical suite and then send you home with some pain pills. But brow lifts in particular and cosmetic surgery of the face in general is associated with very little pain when the surgery is performed properly. We find that keeping the head elevated after surgery and applying ice compresses help with the bruising and swelling as well as with the discomfort.

Having a  browlift results in more or less the same amount of discomfort as one would have from a facelift.  You may be a bit sore for a few days, but within a week or so, you are pretty much back to normal acitivities.  I usualy tell my patients to avoid heavy lifting and aerobics for at least 3 weeks.
