Brow lift and facelift final results

Hello, I hope the following will help you through the recovery period. First, and most important, please be patient. Results take months to finalize, not weeks. I make sure that all of my patients understand that postoperative swelling, changes, and feelings take time to evolve.

Browlift results

Without a photo or an exam, it is hard to answer your question. The results of surgery take weeks to months to see the final result. Keep your discussion with your surgeon as frequently as you can.be patient as best as you can.

Unhappy at 5 weeks

Five weeks post surgery is still very early for you to judge the results of your surgery - be patient and follow up with your surgeon. Look at your pre-op and post-op photos for an objective comparison. Hopefully your expectations were in line with your surgeon.

Unhappy so far....after facial surgery

Hi. Your question is difficult to answer without seeing some before and after photos, but - in general, it really takes 3-4 months for the tissues to settle in after these procedures, and look more natural. You may certainly still have some swelling. So, it's probably a little early to judge your results. That being said, I certainly would voice your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

I'm sorry for your concerns after surgery, but you are only 5 weeks after surgery. It is impossible to respond without seeing pre-op and post-op pictures. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Five weeks post op.

You should have major positive changes by this time. The swelling is coming down and some of the issues that may not be helped by a face lift return, like wrinkles, unless you had a chemical peel or laser. You need to give it more time and discuss with your ps. see video

What does your plastic surgeon tell you about your facelift and browlift results?

Dear Cleocran, I concur that you should be getting an answer from your plastic surgeon about this. Assuming that you did your homework and had surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon, I know that you will get the best answers to your questions. Hopefully things will improve with time.... Best of luck. I would love to hear about your progress, so keep us posted! :) Brian K. Brzowski, MD, FACS brzowski.com Ogden, UT
