How long is recovery after an Endotine forehead lift?
Rewind records one to two days in a compression dressing, with early bruising and swelling mostly settling within one to two weeks. Daily activity returns gradually and strenuous exercise waits longer. The Endotine device is absorbed over roughly nine months, so there is nothing to remove later.
When can I wash my hair after a forehead lift?
Rewind publishes no day count for the first hair wash. The written instruction is to keep the incision clean to prevent infection, and the dressing stays on for the first one to two days. The surgeon tells you when and how to wash at the first review.
When can I return to work?
Everyday activity returns step by step, but the clinic sets no fixed number of days off. Visible bruising and swelling mostly settle within one to two weeks, so the answer depends on your work and on how visible you need to be. It is agreed with the surgeon.
Will I feel the Endotine device under my scalp?
Rewind describes the device as absorbed over about nine months, with the absorption meant to keep any foreign-body feeling and everyday inconvenience to a minimum. Sensation varies between people, so mention anything you notice at a review and avoid pressing or massaging the area.
Why do I need to keep my head raised?
Resting with the head raised on pillows is the clinic's published instruction for keeping swelling down after this operation. It matters most during the one to two days of compression, when swelling in the forehead is at its most noticeable.
When can I exercise again after a forehead lift?
Strenuous exercise is avoided for a while, and Rewind publishes no fixed return date. Gentle daily activity comes back first. Overworking the forehead muscles is also discouraged early on, so the timing of harder training is set at review.
Can I fly home soon after the operation?
The clinic publishes no fixed interval before flying. Most plans are built around the one to two days of compression and a first review, with bruising settling over the following fortnight. The surgeon confirms a sensible departure date when the operation date is booked.
Which symptoms mean I should contact the clinic?
Severe or worsening pain, a fever, or an incision that looks red, swollen or weeping should be reported promptly. Bruising and swelling are expected in the first fortnight, but any change that worries you is worth a call before your next scheduled review.
