Cosmetic Surgery Enquiry

As with any surgery, a brow lift procedure can involve some trepidation and worry in the days leading up to the operation. You may be one of many people who want to do whatever they can to get ready for their procedure, and this article will give you some advice as to how you can get ready for the big day.

Preparing for your surgery

The actual preparation for any surgery begins quite early on, and will involve your surgeon and a team of nurses and other professionals working together to get you emotionally and physically ready for the procedure. You will be informed about the procedure and how it will be performed, who will be there and what their roles will be. It's perfectly natural and acceptable to have questions and the team looking after you will give you all the information you need, so don't hesitate to ask. Knowing what to expect is an excellent way to prepare for anything as it gets rid of the fear of the unknown, so feel free to find out as much as you can about the surgery.

A number of medical tests will be performed to check your general health and your body's readiness for the surgery. These will often include blood tests and a physical exam, as well as instructions about your lifestyle and any chances you need to make before your surgery. These will often be fairly straightforward and include, for example, not smoking and drinking to get your body ready.

The days before your surgery

After the initial rounds of testing and instructions from your surgeon there isn't a lot you can do other than listen to their advice and stick to it. It's natural to get worried about the procedure or about the results, but if you have researched your clinic and surgeon you can take comfort in their reputation and quality. You will receive instructions on what to do the in the hours before your surgery, and if you are receiving a general anaesthetic these will be not to eat or drink a set number of hours before surgery. Some brow lifts are performed as outpatient procedure, and in these cases you should make sure you have arranged a means of getting home, ideally with someone who can look after you as you recover. Recovery times vary, and you should make sure that you have ample opportunity to relax and let your body heal after the surgery.
