When can i have direct brow lift after rhinoplasty? (photos)

Question

hi doctors . i had my rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago and am very happy with the result .when is it safe to do a direct brown lift ( local anasthesia) after my rehinoplasty ?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

You can likely have direct elevation of your droopy brows performed relatively soon after rhinoplasty surgery, since the eyebrows are above the nose, and do not get swollen typically, after nasal surgery. Always defer to your surgeon. Thank you for your question and I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello, there is no disadvantage in having a brow lift, which will be performed by an experienced surgeon immediately after rhinoplasty surgery. But as it seems from your photo, you need to have not only Brow Lift but also Eyelid Surgery. There is excess skin on the upper eyelid and bagging on the lower eyelid. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

it is best to perform both procedures together. However, in your case, I would recommend waiting 6-12 weeks before brow lift. Good luck.

Although a direct brow lift will predictably raise your brows the incision can be visible and impossible to revise. I think a temporal brow lift which I frequently do under local anesthesia combined with an eyelid incision is a better approach because there is no chance the scars will be visible.

Thank you for your question. You should be able to have the brow lift performed at any time. All the best!

Hi! Patients can have the two of them in one go. But since you have recently had a rhinoplasty, I’d suggest that you wait until your incisions have healed before proceeding to a brow lift. Normally, this would be between 3-4 months to ensure the nose is well healed.

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Good Afternoon! I often advise my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks when doing procedures in close proximity. There may be swelling that extends outside of the surgical field. At that point, assuming you feel well and your doctor thinks your healing is on track, it should be appropriate. Hope that helps!
