How Long Should One Stop Smoking Before a Brow Lift?

Thank you for the question. You will find that every surgeon may have a different protocol.

I ask patients to stop use of all nicotine products for one month prior to surgery.

I hope this helps.

It is best to not be smoking 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after a brow lift operation.  Smoking causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels from the nicotine and smokers have a higher carbon monoxide component in their blood stream.  Both of these lead to significant healing issues after elective cosmetic surgery.
