FOREHEAD, BROWS & TEMPLES · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Brow Lift: before & after and recovery stages
Follow brow-area swelling as the lifted position becomes easier to see.
Also called forehead lift
SUMMARY
What this example shows
The brow-bearing forehead surface moves upward. Temporary forehead and brow-area swelling settles independently of the example lift. Incisions and the hairline approach are not reconstructed.
STAGE BY STAGE
Brow Lift recovery stages
Brow position reference
The brows are shown before the illustrated upward movement.
No injection or early surgical response is present in the reference.
First few days: Fullness around the brows
Swelling masks the illustrated upward change.
Forehead, brow and sometimes under-eye bruising can occur during the first week.
Around 1 month: Later surface view
The example has less color and swelling.
Swelling and incision refinement can continue beyond the initial weeks.
Around 6 months: Later brow position
The lifted position remains after the early fullness and color fade.
Recovery can continue over months. This six-month comparison does not set an individual deadline.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
Forehead fullness obscures the lifted brow area.
Fullness and discoloration surround the brow in this example.
The brow outline becomes less puffy.
Less swelling reveals the upward contour change.
The example color settles while tissue recovery continues.
The lifted contour remains after the illustrated swelling.
The view does not predict incision or sensation recovery.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
Incision approach, brow position and combined procedures affect the course. The forehead shifts upward in this example; the hairline and incision technique are not simulated.
Longer term
Complete recovery can take several months. Incision feel and appearance follow a different course from visible swelling.
