Before Brow Lift Surgery

Before making the decision to have a brow lift, you should find out as much information as possible about the procedure, the surgeon and hospital you are being treated at. Always discuss the procedure with your clinic or hospital first and then go away and think about it before making your decision.

You should also have a consultation of at least an hour with your surgeon before going ahead. Do not be afraid to ask any questions and make sure all of your concerns are addressed before you sign on the dotted line. It is also a good idea to ask the surgeon if you can see before and after pictures of the previous work so you can see what results they have achieved with other patients

The most important thing is to make an informed decision that you feel confident about. During your consultation your surgeon should take a thorough medical history and give you a consent form to sign to make sure you fully understand the possible risks and complications. It is very important that you read this form carefully. It is also important to make sure your surgeon is aware of any medical conditions you may be suffering from as these may preclude you from having surgery. You should also inform your GP about having the surgery in case there are any problems later on. After examining you your surgeon will explain your options and recommend what type of brow lift you may need to achieve the best result.

They may recommend combining your brow lift with a face lift or blepharoplasty to achieve the best results. It is advisable to wash your hair thoroughly the day before your surgery to minimise the risk of infection and make sure you get a good nights sleep. You should also not drink any alcohol before having surgery.
