Question 1

How soon can I go back to work?

Accepted Answer

Most people return to work or resume desk duties within 7–10 days after their brow lift. Mild swelling or bruising may still be visible, but makeup often helps camouflage these changes.

Question 2

Will there be visible scars?

Accepted Answer

Scars are usually well-hidden in the hairline or temple and become lighter and flatter as time passes. Following our surgeon’s scar care instructions helps incisions heal as inconspicuously as possible.

Question 3

Is numbness normal?

Accepted Answer

Temporary numbness around the forehead or scalp can happen as nerves heal. This sensation usually improves by three to six months as swelling fully subsides and nerves recover.

Question 4

Can I speed up my recovery time?

Accepted Answer

Healing times vary, yet sticking closely to aftercare instructions, staying out of the sun, and avoiding smoking support a quicker and smoother recovery.

Question 5

When should I schedule a follow-up visit?

Accepted Answer

Our surgeon recommends follow-up appointments in the first few days, around one to two weeks, and then at key milestones over the next six months to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
