How Long Is The Recovery Time For The "Lateral" Brow Lift?

Question

would like an idea how long the swelling/bruising of a Lateral Brow Lift might be?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Lateral browlift healing time is about 1 week, but this would be a mistake for you since it will give you an evil look. Your brows are high enough.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

In most instances a lateral brow lift does not require more than 5-7 days of recovery but in rare situations bruising can demand close to 2 weeks of recovery time

Hannah Vargas, MD · Answer

Recovery for most patients is one week but I always estimate between 1-3 weeks.  If the  patient tends to bruise easily or if they want to be absolutely and completely bruise free then count on the longer time.

	One way to help predict if you will like the results of the lateral brow lift is to have your provider inject a small amount of BOTOX just above your lateral brow.   You should see a modest elevation to you lateral brow.  While this is just a small amount of what can be lifted surgically, it should give you an idea of what to expect from the lateral brow lift.  Discuss further with your surgeon.  Good luck!

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

the temple brow lift can have little or no bruising but  some of my patients will get bruising that runs down to the lower lid rim by gravity and can take two weeks to  diminish if this occurs.

Hi.

	I think it would be a mistake for you to have a brow lift, even though the recovery is quick and easy.
