Prior to having a brow lift surgery, it is important to discuss with your doctor all of your medical history, current medications, and any allergies or other health concerns. You will also need to stop smoking and certain medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, at least two weeks before surgery. It is also important to arrange for someone to stay with you for at least the first 24 hours following the surgery. You will need to follow all of your doctor’s pre-operative instructions carefully to ensure a successful procedure. During this time, it is also important to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to ensure that your body is in the best shape possible for the procedure. Finally, it is a good idea to avoid direct sunlight and wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your skin.

The risks associated with a brow lift include infection, temporary numbness or tingling, hair loss at the incision sites, asymmetrical results, and scarring. Other risks can include nerve damage, dry eyes, double vision, facial nerve injury, and a decrease in peripheral vision. There may also be a risk of poor healing due to age, smoking, or underlying medical conditions. Additionally, brow lift surgery can produce unsatisfactory results if the patient does not have realistic expectations. Lastly, patients may experience a “pulled” look due to over-tightening of the skin, or a “shock” look due to the raised forehead appearing too high. It is important to discuss these risks with a doctor prior to undergoing this procedure.
