Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 Weeks
I had my 6-week appt and the doc said everything looks great. I still have the big scab from my brow lift that he offered to remove but I prefer to let it come off naturally.
The I cannot lift the brow on the same side as the big scab. He said it could be from shock to the nerve from the surgery and that it typically resolves within 3/6 months.
The brow on that side is also lower. At my 1-week appt he noticed it and said it was dehiscence (from where the wound opened.) When I put my eye makeup on, I have a noticeable difference in the space I have to work in.
The scars from the lower pinch lift are getting easier to cover with makeup.
Generally I think my eyes look more open and bright but I want to get the brow that is lower lifted up to be even with the other one. Hopefully it well heal so I regain movement.
My scalp is numb. It only bothers me when I can feel an itch but can never really satisfactorily relieve the itching feeling.

One Month Update
Last week was one month and I took these photos on that very day. I wear tape on the incisions per my doctor overnight or longer when I am staying at home for the day.
I continue to sleep in a recliner to keep my head elevated.
The eye scars are still red and a little fibrous. I have read that 6 weeks is when they are typically at their worst. So, two more weeks to go. It is getting a bit easier to cover them up but I look forward to the day when I no longer have to be concerned about hiding them. I had an upper bleph 18 years ago. Wish I would have written down how long it took to recover.
I continue to be so happy I wear hats as it is easy to keep the brow lift scars/scab covered because bangs would not do the job. It’s too bad that the stitches didn’t hold in this one area as otherwise the incision idéeme to be healing. The divots from the deep stitches are smoothing out..
My scalp is still partially numb and when I have an itch, it never feels like I can satisfyingly scratch it. Sometimes I feel a zing in my forehead/scalp but that is supposedly normal.

Three Weeks
Thankfully I wear hats, wigs, and hairbands because there is no way I would be able to go out in public with these scabs on my brow. This is not that much of a surprise and I planned for it.
Doc says the big scab and my brow is from where the wound opened up from its stitches. He said at 6 weeks (my next appt), he will evaluate. May need to cut this out and re-stitch. Said it’s a 20-min procedure. He thinks my brow on that side is a little lower than where he put it. You can see the indents in my forehead from the deep stitches. He said those will smooth out and has me taping the all the incisions (including eyes) at night with a skin tape.
The incisions of my lower pinch bleph are red as they heal. I bought a little coverup kit and can generally camouflage these incisions pretty well. I have read that they are at their worst at 6 weeks.
I had a family get together over the weekend and no one suspected anything. My mom (who knows I had this procedure done) said she could not tell I was covering up bruises and incisions. My sister who also knows I had this surgery said my eyes look nice and open and my forehead is smooth. I’m 58 and yesterday when we went out for dinner, our waitress asked me how I did my makeup as it was so pretty. She was shocked when I told her my age. She thought I was in my 40s. I always feel a little bad not fessing up to having had nips and tucks, but I don’t advertise.
This weekend I will be seeing friends who I have not seen in a month. I’ll be curious as to how that goes.
