Mild swelling around the forehead or eyebrows is normal.
To reduce swelling, apply a cold compress or ice pack over the eyebrows for 15 minutes every hour.
⚠️ Do not place ice on the grafts and keep at least 1 inch away from the hairline.
Small scabs will form around the grafts. This is a natural part of healing.

Keep your head elevated while sleeping.
Avoid bending forward; bend at the knees if needed.
