How much Bruising After Eyebrow Lift?

Question

how long and how much bruising is involved with endoscopic browlift?

Theda C. Kontis, MD · Answer

Most physicians now perform endoscopic browlifts, which involves placing about 4 small incisions in the hairline. The bulk of the surgical work is done through these ports, and then the brow is fixated to the bone in its new position. Usually the amount of bleeding is minimal. Bruising is usually noted in the lower eyelids, because that's where the blood pools. It takes about a week for all the bruising to resolve.

	Before surgery, make sure you discontinue foods and vitamins that can cause increased bleeding (your physician should provide a list to you), as well as aspirin, motrin, advil, blood thinners, etc. You may benefit from the use of Bromelain postoperatively, which helps decrease the bruising. You may hear about taking Arnica montana, but in my experience, it does not help as much as Bromelain.

As other have mentioned the bruising varies a great deal case by case.  In general 95% of patients have minimal to no bruising by 3 weeks but most can conceal nicely by 2 weeks.

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

It takes about two weeks for the bruising to settle after an endoscopic browlift. Usually the bruising is limited to the eyelid areas. I hope this information helps.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

Bruising does vary from patient to patient, and based on the technique utilized. The norm is between 1 -3 weeks based on the patient and the degree he/she has followed postoperative instructions. The bruising is limited to the eyelid areas.
