A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a type of cosmetic surgery that repositions your forehead to reduce wrinkles and create a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. It is often a good fit for patients who have brows that make them appear angry or tired. After the procedure, there are several steps that are important to take to ensure you achieve the best possible results. At KM Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kai Morimoto is dedicated to working with patients during their brow lift recovery in Spokane to ensure a smooth and healthy recovery.
Dr. Morimoto will help you understand what your recovery from your brow lift in Spokane may look like, but you can expect several stages.
In the days immediately following the procedure, you may experience swelling on your forehead, brows, and underneath your eyes. You should be sure to get plenty of rest and elevate your head.
It is also helpful to use a dressing or headband for gentle compression. You should begin applying moisturizer to your incision sites to facilitate skin elasticity, and use silicone sheets or gel to help the scars heal.
Swelling and bruising should lessen significantly within the first few weeks after surgery. During this time, your sutures will be removed. Though you should still avoid strenuous activity and bending, you can resume light activities.
If you had an endoscopic brow lift, you will likely be able to return to work within a week, and for other procedures, within two weeks. You can begin driving again as soon as your pain is manageable.
As you begin adapting to your daily routine again, it is important to use proper sun protection while you are outside. This can keep your skin safe and minimize scarring.
During this time period, you can resume all light daily activities, though you should avoid any strenuous physical activity at first. As time goes by, you can reintroduce activities with more movement gradually. Talk to your doctor before gradually increasing the intensity of activities.
This is the time when your final results become visible and your brow fully settles into its new position.
While exact recovery times will vary, we can provide you with an estimate during your consultation.
