I am a 61 year old female looking into eyelid surgery in conjunction with an endoscopic brow lift using endotine - a forhead fixation device.
How long will I have to wait until going out in public without wearing hats and sunglasses? My doctor says 6 weeks minimum, but a full year for full results. I don't want to wait that long. What are the variations for people of my age?
Answer: Blepharoplasty and Browlift Recovery Time Oh goodness, your surgeon is being incredibly conservative. I usually advise patients that they will be presentable without glasses with a bit of makeup 6 to 8 days after a blepharoplasty, and with the browlift 8 to 9 days. Some bruising can be concealed with makeup.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Recovery Period after a Brow Lift
My Brow Lift patients typically go back to work at 2 weeks. Most still have some swelling and minor bruising that can be generally addressed with makeup. At the one month mark, most patients are looking good enough to attend black tie functions. However, if it is a super special event , I always advise having the Brow Lift done to allow for 2-3 months recovery. Good luck!

Answer: Plan on 2 weeks recovery after Eyelid and brow Lift Surgery but 6-8 weeks for photos or important social function Bruising and swelling following eyelid and brow lift surgery usually take 2 weeks to resolve. However, for your face to look fairly normal and "adjusted" to the new surgery takes 6-8 weeks. Thus i recommend that my patients not plan an important social function or pose fopr photographs until at least 6 weeks after surgery. Some people recover quicker but you have to plan for the unforseen so be safe and plan 6 weeks. You will however be able to be out and around with make up and or sun glasses after two weeks on average

Answer: You can expect to return to work, daily activities 1-2 weeks after endoscopic browlift and eyelid surgery You can expect to return to work, daily activities 1-2 weeks after endoscopic browlift and eyelid surgery. Bruising can take 7-10 days to resolve but can be camouflaged with makeup. All incisions are typically either hidden in the scalp hair or behind the eyelid or in the eyelid crease. In cases where excess skin is removed from the lower eyelid, the incision just below the eyelashes heals well and quickly.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Recovery after browlift
Recovery varies from technique to technique and patient to patient.
Generally for a lateral browlift at a subcutaneous plane, the recovery to being public averages 4 days.
For an Endotine browlift done at a subperiosteal level, the recovery will be considerably longer.
For our book chapter on browlifts, feel free to read the online version.
