Expect some swelling and bruising after the surgery. Results will appear within a few weeks as swelling and bruising get better. It will then reveal the desired smoother forehead skin, more youthful and rested appearance.
A thin tube may be placed just under the skin to drain excess blood or fluid. This is left temporarily usually for first few days after the surgery.

You will also be advised to keep your head elevated after the surgery and to perform no vigorous physical activities.

You will be given medications such as painkillers and antibiotics. Recovery time is highly variable between different person; hence it is important to attend follow-up appointments after surgery.

Initial wound healing will take 10 to 14 days. Sutures or clips (depending which was used by surgeon) will be removed when deemed appropriate by your surgeon.
