I had a direct brow lift yesterday. Can you tell me how long I should wait before cleaning the incisions and is it best to use just warm water? Also my surgeon has used both dissolvable and removable stitches and has said the removable stitches are to be removed 1 week after surgery. My friend who also had a direct brow lift had hers removed after 5 days after surgery. I have written to my surgeon with these questions and I'm waiting on a reply.
