How long after a brow lift can you begin running and weight training?

Hi and thanks for posting your question! The vast majority of patients have a fairly speedy recovery from browlift procedures. Stitches usually are out by 2 weeks. Swelling and bruising has typically peaked and resolved for the most part by 2 weeks as well. Some residual numbness, itching and burning of the scalp persists for months after the procedure.I would advise you to avoid any heavy lifting,  heavy duty aerobic activity, etc for 4-6 weeks post procedure for best results. Typically patients are able to ramp back up on lower extremity aerobic exercise at 3 weeks post op without problems. hope that helps!

Every surgeon is different, and each surgeon knows how long he or she would like you to keep from exercising after a brow lift in order to get the best possible result. I usually have people wait 2 weeks at which point they can be back to full activity if they feel up to it.  Good luck.
