How Many Weeks Does It Take to See Final Results After a Brow Lift?

Question

Could it be months before I see how a brow lift will really look like?

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

Brow lifts are initially over-corrected - meaning you see higher brow position in the initial few days or weeks.  The final result is seen when swelling has gone away - typically by 2 months.

James M. Pearson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. In general, the majority of the result following a brow lift is apparent in just a few  weeks. By that time, the sutures are removed, bruising has improved and the majority of the swelling has resolved. The surgical approach undertaken in your particular case will influence how quickly you may see a final result. Good luck.

Hello,

A brow lift is one of the few procedures in facial plastic surgery where the patient can anticipate the final results sooner, rather than later.  After a nasal recontouring rhinoplasty the final results will take one to two years to complete.  Following a face lift the skin and soft tissue evolve over the first twelve months.  However, after a brow lift, I advise my patients that 90-95% of the results will be attainable after the first 2 or 3 months.  That being said, the healing process is a little bit different in everyone, and some patients may take longer then others to obtain the final results.
