Is It Typical to Have a Bad Headache After a Coronal Brow Lift?

Unfortunately the brow lift causes a headache for about 24 hours.I usally tell my patients that the brow lift is going to heart more that the face lift. Pain medication would control the pain and I must say that the degree of pain is dependent on patients as some complain of very little pain. 

The post-operative side effects associated with a coronal brow lift should subside within a few weeks. It is not abnormal to experience a headache following surgery. In fact, this is one of the most common complaints following the procedure.  Regarding sutures or staples, it really depends on the preference of the surgeon.  I would recommend speaking with your surgeon about which type of closure he/she prefers and why they would use one over the other. Thank you and best of luck!

Pain longer than a week after surgery is unusual for the browlift. Obviously it depends on the type of brow lift, and sometimes focal areas of pain at sight of sutures/fixation is possible.

Stapes are good to use in the incisions that are in the hairline so not visible, otherwise sutures should be used.

 

Good luck
