Treatment of Post-op Hematoma

Fluid may accumulate under the forehead flap within one week after browlift surgery . Treatment will depend on the quantity. Small amounts of fluid will be absorbed without problems; sometimes this will be removed.  Consult with your surgeon.

You don't want your fill of fluid.
