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

Recovery varies from technique to technique and patient to patient.

Generally for a lateral browlift at a subcutaneous plane, the recovery to being public averages 4 days.

For an Endotine browlift done at a subperiosteal level, the recovery will be considerably longer.

Swelling and bruising is expected with this combination procedure.  It is about 2 weeks that this has calmed down enough that other will not notice for the most part.  Now it is generally the case that you will notice swelling for the first 6 to 8 weeks.  Overall it really is a full year before everything has fully healed.  As a practical matter you will feel very well healed after 10 weeks.
