Most patients undergoing endoscopic forehead lift surgery will simultaneously have eyelid surgery. Eyelid surgery typically causes more bruising and swelling than forehead lift surgery, so the recovery is limited by the three weeks it typically takes for the eyelid bruising and swelling to resolve. The small skin staples in the incision sites behind the hair are removed about two weeks after surgery without pain. Patients may shampoo the hair the day after surgery but should not scrub adjacent to the incision sites. We ask that patients avoid hair coloring or other harsh chemicals in the hair for three weeks after surgery. Many patients who have forehead lift surgery will temporarily get numbness of the forehead. The numbness typically resolves over a course of several months.
