How Long is Recovery for a Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery when Done Together?

Livermore3381
I am a 61 year old female looking into eyelid surgery in conjunction with an endoscopic brow lift using endotine - a forhead fixation device. How long will I have to wait until going out in public without wearing hats and sunglasses? My doctor says 6 weeks minimum, but a full year for full results. I don't want to wait that long. What are the variations for people of my age?
