Brow lift surgery recovery time
Initial wound healing may take 10 to 14 days. Sutures or clips will be removed when it is appropriate. You should be ready to return to work and normal activity after 10-14 days.
Patients typically experience very little pain after a brow lift, but it is common to feel slight discomfort as well as a sensation of tightness throughout the forehead. Swelling and bruising are most common during the first 10 days or so after surgery, and are mostly resolved after about 2 weeks.

If a brow lift is done well, and not overdone, it can fix hooded eyes by lifting the thicker skin of the eyebrow off of the thinner skin of the eyelid. However, if you have eyelid hooding, the brow lift will not address that.
Coverage Guidance. Blepharoplasty, blepharoptosis repair, and brow lift are surgeries that may be performed to improve function or provided strictly for cosmetic reasons. Medicare considers surgeries performed to improve function as reasonable and necessary.
A blepharoplasty is recommended for patients that specifically want to address sagging, heavy eyelids and a brow lift is recommended for patients with lower or sagging brows.

Like any other type of major surgery, a brow lift poses a risk of bleeding, infection and a reaction to anesthesia.
Brow lift surgery does not directly affect the skin surface. Deep wrinkles may still need to treated with facial fillers, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing.

Most brow lifts are performed under local anesthesia, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy. You will be awake but relaxed, and although you may feel some tugging and mild discomfort, your forehead will be insensitive to pain.
Hair Loss. Because the incisions made during a brow lift are along the hairline, it is possible that you may experience some hair loss after the procedure. This is typically temporary and once the incisions have completely healed, the hair will start to grow back within a few months.
While brow lift can achieve more dramatic changes, Botox is preferable for making slighter, more subtle improvements. The timeline for each procedure is also much different. Botox results last about three to four months in this area, whereas brow lift changes are generally visible for a decade.
If properly performed endoscopic brow lifts cause permanent paralysis of the frontal branch of the facial branch of the facial nerve, the one that innervates the muscle moving the eyebrow up and down, is very rare. That said temporary weakness or paralysis is seen 10 to 15 % of the time.

While a brow lift can lift your eyebrows and smooth your forehead area, an eyelid lift focuses solely on your eyelids. During an eyelid lift, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the lids, making them less droopy and puffy. Eyelid lifts can be performed on your upper lids, lower lids, or both.
"Microblading is meant for someone who prefers a natural brow look and who doesn't wear makeup all the time, as the technique mimics real hair." Microblading uses a pen-like hand tool with a blade made up of needles to etch hair strokes into the skin, says Tran.
The most common form of non-surgical brow lift involves injecting a neurotoxin called botulinum type A (BoNT), commonly known under the brand name Botox. This procedure is also known as the Chemical Brow Lift and can be used in tandem with dermal fillers.
