Consultation and Preparing for Surgery

During your consultation be prepared to discuss:

• Your goals for your appearance
• Your complete medical history
• Your current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use

Your surgeon will also:

• Evaluate your general health status and any  risk factors
• Discuss your options
• Examine and measure different parts of your face
• Take photographs
• Recommend a course of treatment
• Discuss likely outcomes of brow lift surgery and any potential complications

Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon questions. It's very important to understand all aspects of your procedure. It's natural to feel some anxiety, whether it's excitement for your anticipated new look or a bit of pre-treatment stress. Don't be shy about discussing these feelings with your plastic surgeon.

Prior to surgery, you may be asked to:

• Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
• Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
• Stop smoking
• Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other supplements as they can increase bleeding

Brow lift surgery should be performed in an accredited surgical facility, licensed ambulatory surgical center, or a hospital. You will need to arrange for another adult to drive you to and from surgery, and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
