The surgeon did not use the things on the skull. He pulled up the skin and I have 3 smaller incisions on my scalp. He also said he removed some of the muscle over the nose to reduce lines. I had eye-lid surgery years ago, so skin is not the issue. Bruises and swelling are going away fairly quickly now. Tightness of the forehead is still there. Will this get better soon?

Answer: Eyelids not closing when sleeping 8 days after endoscopic brow lift Raising the eyebrows does affect the upper eyelids, so any sort of brow lift can keep the eyelids from closing completely. Normally, this is just a temporary issue and resolves as the healing process occurs. Since your endoscopic brow lift was only 8 days ago, there still would be some expected swelling and normally, the brows do drop a bit as they relax after surgery. If you haven't already, I would mention the inability to close your eyes while sleeping to your surgeon. There are some measures that should be taken to protect your eyes until you regain complete eye closure again.
