To promote optimal healing, it is recommended to sleep with your head elevated at a 30 to 45-degree angle for the first few weeks following surgery. This can be achieved by using multiple pillows or a wedge pillow. Keeping your head elevated helps reduce swelling and improves blood circulation to the surgical area. It is important to avoid sleeping on your stomach or sides, as this can put pressure on the incision sites and potentially disrupt the healing process. Additionally, try to avoid any excessive movements or rubbing of the forehead area while sleeping to prevent any potential complications. Following these guidelines and adhering to your surgeon’s post-operative instructions will contribute to a smoother recovery and enhance the final outcome of your Brow Lift surgery.
