How to care for your eyebrows after a brow lift surgery

Brow lift surgery is a procedure that reshapes the eyebrows. An incision is made just above the natural brow line, through which orbital fat in the upper eyelid is removed to reduce puffiness, correct triangular eyes, reveal hidden double eyelids, and elevate drooping brows. Post-operative care is crucial, as outlined below:

Keep the surgical area dry for at least one week. If water accidentally comes into contact with the area, gently pat it dry with a clean, dry towel. Avoid putting any pressure on the surgical site for one month, and do not massage the area. Refrain from vigorous physical activities such as running, playing ball games, or excessive laughing.

Maintain cleanliness of the surgical site. You may gently wipe the area with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to remove facial secretions and prevent infection. It is recommended to take antibiotics for 3–5 days after surgery to prevent wound infection, and apply antibiotic eye ointment gently in a circular motion over the incision site.

Dietary recommendations: Maintain a light and nutritious diet. Avoid spicy or irritating foods. Choose cooking methods such as steaming or boiling. For one week after surgery, avoid seafood, chili peppers, alcohol, and other stimulating foods.
