Question:
How soon before and after undergoing a brow lift is it okay to get your hair done? I would like to know when I can have it cut and also when I can get it colored.
Answer:
Recovery time varies for each patient depending on what type of brow lift procedure you undergo. Any bruising or swelling that you might experience usually improves after about a week or so and stitches will be removed one to two weeks after. It should be safe to color and style your hair about two to three weeks after the procedure but it is important to have Dr. Epstein instruct you directly, as every patient heals differently. Hair can be colored up to three days before a brow lift procedure.
