Best to wait one year for full healing

William Portuese, MD answers: Minimum waiting time for a second brow lift?

I have had an endoscopic brow lift a little over 6 months ago. The lateral brows have fallen. I now want to have a temporal/lateral brow lift to repair the lateral brow. What would be the minimum time I should allow before the next surgery? Will there still be some more relaxing of the temporal area up to a year after the endoscopic brow lift? Should I wait a full year? Thank you.

It is probably best to wait at least a year for full healing to take effect prior to embarking on a secondary browlift procedure. It is important to let the skin relax, the incisions heal, and all scar tissue be permanent before embarking on a secondary procedure. It is also important to make sure that whatever forehead muscle work was done at that time has had adequate time to recalibrate before embarking on another procedure.
