I am going in for a face lift and brow lift soon. 12/26 is my plan. I see doc next week to make final decision. Also is my vision going to be effected for long? How long should I allow for recovery?
Answer: Facelift and Brow Lift Done Together Depending on how you are aging, a facelift and brow lift performed may be beneficial if performed at the same time. The facelift addresses the lower face and neck, but the brow lift will address the upper face. Sometimes the brow lift can also prevent bunching of skin that may occur around the temple region if you have excess or loose skin when performing the facelift. Vision should not be affected directly, although you may have some swelling and bruising around your eyes in the immediate post-operative period. I recommend you have a formal consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon who is experienced in treatment of the aging face.

Answer: A facelift combined with a browlift can give great results! These two procedure can help to rejuvenate the face and forehead region. Eyelid surgery can also be done to give a more balanced look as well. Your vision shouldn't change much over the course of your recovery period which typically lasts about 10-14 days.

Answer: Facelift and browlift recovery Definitely do the facelift and browlift at the same time if both will improve your appearance. Combining them does not prolong the recovery and often doing more gives a more balanced and natural result. Your vision should not be affected.

Answer: Facelift and Browlift Thank you for your question. Adding a brow lift to a facelift really doesn't add much if anything in terms of recovery- it is a common combination that I perform (adding a full face laser to the facelift and brow lift as well adds a little bit in terms of redness to recover from) but it should still be an uneventful recovery. It also shouldn't affect your vision- if you have a blepharoplasty in addition it may add some swelling and the ointments that are put on can make things a little blurry on the night after surgery but other than that it shouldn't affect your vision. As far as recovery, everyone is a little different. Generally by one to two weeks, you can put makeup on and go outside without much worry. Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon. All the best.
