How Can I Hide That I've Had Surgery After Browlift?

Most can hide Coronal Browlift scars with out difficulty. Wearing a hat or wearing your bangs down if the incision is at the hairline or creative hairstyle or hat if incisions are in the scalp should do it. Some large sunglasses if you have swelling or bruising around the eyes along with camouflage make-up works for most patients. 

Coronal or endoscopic #browlift incisions are easily camouflaged. This incision is back in your hairline and no hair is removed at the time of surgery. Therefore, your incision can be covered after the bandage comes off with your hair. A tricophytic (or hairline) incision is harder to camouflage immediately after surgery since it's at the hairline. Bangs definitely help in this area but a small amount of hair is usually shaved at the hairline which can make the incision harder to camouflage with this approach. You will have swelling for a couple of weeks. Bruising, if it does occur, can last 10-14 days. In most cases, swelling is more of an issue than the incision itself since that is well hidden by your locks.

It is true, there is some slight swelling to the forehead after a browlift.  Typically, there is very little bruising.   As far as hiding the incision, it depends on your hairstyle and the thickness of your hair that will determine how easily the suture line can be hidden.  You may want to wear a scarf over that area to disguise the surgical site.
