What is the maximum time post-op that an endoscopic forehead lift can be reversed?

Question

Hello. I had an endoscopic forehead lift and I am not satisfied with the results. My hairline has receded by 1cm, making my forehead look huge, and the brow shape is too high and asymmetrical. Fixations were done via bone tunneling using dissolvable sutures. There are 5 incision points with 1 fixation on the left side and 2 fixations on the right side. I have read there is such thing as "too long" to reverse the results. When would this be?

Ryan Rebowe, MD · Answer

In general, that is correct that there is no such thing as "too long." However, the results of a brow lift tend to overcorrect at first and then become less exaggerated over time. Your final result may not come until at least one year out. For this reason, I typically recommend waiting 6mos to 1 year for almost any revisionary surgery.
