Introduction
In general, the duration of dietary restrictions after a brow lift procedure varies depending on individual recovery, typically lasting 1 to 3 months. If recovery is relatively fast, dietary restrictions may be needed for 1 to 2 months; if recovery is slower, restrictions may last 2 to 3 months.

In general, the duration of dietary restrictions after a brow lift surgery varies depending on individual recovery conditions, typically ranging from 1 to 3 months. If recovery is relatively fast, dietary restrictions may be needed for 1–2 months; if recovery is slower, restrictions might last 2–3 months.

During the period of dietary restrictions, patients should avoid spicy, stimulating foods, seafood, smoking, and alcohol. These foods and habits may adversely affect scar formation, cause local capillary dilation, lead to redness of the scar, and in severe cases, result in hypertrophic scarring. It is also important after surgery to keep the surgical area clean to prevent wound infection.
