At the time of the consultation, you must inform the surgeon about your lifestyle and any medications/vitamins/supplements you are taking, as these may affect your treatment and also prolong your recovery.

You may need to stop taking certain medications, such as aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), for a period of time before the surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.

Patients who smoke will be advised to stop smoking for several weeks before and after the surgery, as smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications.

Most patients can return to work and other normal activities within 1-2 weeks after the procedure, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

Full recovery of forehead lifting can take several months, and patients should follow their surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.

After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication.

Some of the possible complications include: scarring, infection, numbness, infection, bleeding and asymmetry. It is important to discuss these risks with your plastic surgeon before deciding to undergo a forehead lift.
