Why is the eyebrow lift swollen & 9 appropriate handling methods

Eyebrow lift is a solution that helps women have symmetrical eyebrows that harmonize with their face. Although this is a simple, minimally invasive procedure, after performing it, you may still experience swelling of the eyebrows. So, why does eyebrow lift cause swelling and what are the effective ways to handle it? Follow the article below for detailed answers.

1. Does eyebrow lift cause swelling? How long does it take to reduce swelling?

Swelling after eyebrow lift is a normal phenomenon, as this is a sign that the body is reacting to the invasive impact during the surgery. It is known that when performing an eyebrow lift, the doctor uses specialized equipment to cut a portion of skin and the underlying loose skin along the upper/lower eyebrow arch and secures the forehead skin.

After surgery, you can alleviate discomfort by applying ice, cleaning the wound with saline, eating healthily, drinking plenty of water,… And after about 7 – 10 days, the swelling after eyebrow lift will decrease.

However, if the eyebrows are continuously swollen and red after the 10th day, it may be a sign of wound infection. At this point, you need to see a doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Causes of prolonged swelling and pain in the eyebrows

Below are some causes that may lead to prolonged swelling and pain in the eyebrows after eyebrow lifting surgery:

The skin around the eyes is a very sensitive part of the body; if the doctor does not perform gently, meticulously, and correctly, it may increase the risk of infection.

Depending on each person’s constitution, the healing time will vary. For those with sensitive skin and slow healing, the wound after eyebrow lifting may swell longer. Additionally, if you are allergic to the anesthetic or medication componentsthe risk of the wound becoming swollen will be higher.

2.4. Not following the notes before surgery

Before undergoing eyebrow lift surgery, you need to discuss with your doctor about the medications you are using, underlying diseases (if any), and also ensure you get enough sleep, relax your mind,… If you overlook any of the notes before performing the surgery, it may increase the risk of excessive bleeding, causing the wound to take longer to heal.
