How Long is the Recovery from Brow Lift?

Your surgeon will manage your pain so you should only feel some moderate discomfort after your surgery and little to no pain within 1-2 days. Full recovery is about 2-3 weeks depending on your healing and following your surgeon's directions for post-op surgical care.

At my practice, recovery from a brow lift usually takes around 1 to 2 weeks. The majority of swelling and bruising takes place within the first 10 days, but patients can feel free to return to work after the bandages have been removed, which generally happens 1 to 3 days following surgery. There is less pain associated with brow lift recovery than people think, and prescription medications will be prescribed to help you through the first few days. After that, over the counter medications should be enough to manage any pain or discomfort. Brow lifts are very safe as long as they are performed by a skilled, board-certified facial plastic surgeon.
