A brow lift serves two purposes, one is to improve the shape of the brow and the other is to improve upper lid laxity. If you have sagging eyebrows or sagging upper lid skin, a brow lift will pull the sagging upper lid skin upward at the same time, resulting in a better eyelid shape and a more beautiful eye appearance. For those who want to have a brow lift, besides being concerned about the post-operative results, the most important concern is how dangerous is the surgery? What is the worst outcome? 1. Bleeding and infection. Before you get a brow lift, you need to know: there is a risk of bleeding and infection with any surgery. If it does bleed (you can tell by the bruising under the skin, the bizarre local swelling), you can either aspirate the blood with a needle or do the procedure again. What about infection? Doctors know how to deal with this situation. Usually, you will take antibiotics before and after the procedure to make sure you don’t get an infection. 2. Bruising and swelling. The surgeon removing the muscle will definitely bring on bruising and you will experience swelling. Depending on the degree of elevation, you will experience bruising and swelling for at least 1 week and up to 4 weeks. 3. Pain. The swelling exacerbates the pain brought on by the tautness of the skin. The discomfort will not last long, about 1 week, and your doctor will prescribe pain medication. you can return to work after 7 days and exercise or lift heavy objects within 1 month. 4. Numbness. There are many nerves in the face, some of which may be damaged or stretched during the procedure, resulting in varying degrees of damage. Usually, the numbness will disappear within 1 month after the surgery. 5. Scars. The scars of a brow lift are generally not very visible. The scar itself is very light at this position of the eyebrow, especially at the lower edge of the eyebrow, and usually fades away 3 to 6 months after the surgery, but it is definitely not completely gone. However, we can tattoo or embroider the eyebrows a little wider, or re-embroider on this scar, you can achieve the role of hiding the scar. 6. Disappointment. In order to avoid disappointment, you need to communicate more with your doctor about your ideas. For example, “I want the eyebrows to go here”. This can be solved by drawing a diagram or by marking it on the photo. Do not jump to conclusions about the results of the procedure until the swelling has completely disappeared (that is, after at least a few months).
