What is the recovery timeline following an endoscopic brow lift?
#Recovery is rapid and comfortable: supportive head dressings are removed at 24 to 48 hours, swelling resolves in 7 to 10 days, and desk work resumes within a week.
Patients may experience mild peri-orbital puffiness or bruising around the upper eyelids and temples during days 2 to 4. Applying cold compresses and resting with the head elevated accelerates lymphatic clearance. Sutures or scalp clips are removed at day 8 to 10.
Light cardiovascular exercise resumes at 2 to 3 weeks, and unrestricted strenuous fitness restarts at 4 weeks.
