In all techniques, bruising and swelling can occur around the eyelids. High blood pressure or the use of anticoagulants may increase this risk. Infections are fortunately rare after a brow and forehead lift. Swelling and severe forehead pain following a forehead lift are not expected and may indicate an infection. In exceptional cases, circulation problems may occur around the scar after a subcutaneous lift. This slows the healing process at the wound edges and creates a broader scar. This is more likely to happen in patients with a very high and long forehead, those with thin skin and in smokers. For this reason, I am somewhat reluctant to treat smokers unless they have stopped smoking for a long time. The subcutaneous and endoscopic forehead lift may temporarily reduce the sensation in the scalp. In the subcutaneous lift, this is related to the superficial skin nerves, which need some time to recover. The endoscopic lift involves deeper nerves that are affected during the lift procedure. Using a mini camera significantly reduces the risk of permanent damage to these nerves. 

The result is what counts. For a good picture of the treatment results, check out the forehead/brow lift before and after photos with the results of several clients.
