During your free consultation the surgeon will speak with you for around 20-45 minutes, during which time you will have a discussion on what to expect from surgery, the risks involved and they will also be on hand to answer as many questions as you’d like.

Most importantly a facial exam will take place and the surgeon will have a conversation about the techniques that can be used to get your desired result.

If you are having any worries in the lead up to your brow lift, you needn’t be concerned as before surgery we will invite you into the clinic so that a nurse can perform a series of checks to make sure you are medically fit for the surgery.

The health check is very simple and will involve an MRSA check and possibly a blood and urine test. A nurse or surgeon will then take photos of your face before the brow lift for recording purposes.

Following these checks, you will be able to speak with the nurse about how to prepare for surgery, the timeline of what will happen and get answers to any concerns about side effects.

On the day of surgery you will arrive at our state of the art hospital and be shown to your en-suite room, so that you can settle in and prepare. The surgeon and nurse will be in constant contact with you so that your stay is as comfortable as possible.

During the surgeon’s visit, you will once again be asked for your consent and a pre-surgical update will be given to you so that you feel informed and confident about the upcoming procedure.

You will then proceed to theatre and then be sedated with a local or general anaesthetic, the surgeon will perform the brow surgery by creating a series of small incisions. The operation takes between one and two hours.

Following surgery, you will have to wear bandaging on your forehead for the next 3 days and spend an evening in the hospital.

You may suffer swelling in your forehead and upper eyelid area.

We will ask you to come in and see a surgeon or nurse one, two and six weeks after the surgery so that we are up to date on your progress. We will also provide you with pain relief medication to help combat your discomfort.

At Pall Mall, we pride ourselves on our aftercare programme and you can be certain that we will manage your recovery personally. Come to our clinic as often as you like, or get reassurance from one of our team of wonderful nurses 24/7 over the phone. In addition to our support, we would also recommend taking it slow at home and avoid bending over or straining for the first few days after surgery.
