Having plastic surgery, including a brow lift, abroad can be a wise decision if you live in a country where the costs of such procedures are extremely high or there is a lack of skillful plastic surgeons.

Of the newly emerged medical tourism destinations, Iran is one of the best options to have a forehead lift surgery, given the considerably lower costs of healthcare services and the highly-skilled plastic surgeons doing facial rejuvenation procedures on a daily basis.

Iran enjoys numerous high-tech hospitals and clinics that offer affordable eyebrow lift surgery to health tourists coming from different countries. This cosmetic procedure is performed by hundreds of well-trained specialists with extensive practical knowledge.

Plastic surgeons performing brow lift in Iran have graduated from the top Iranian universities and further completed special courses and fellowships in plastic surgery at top European and American hospitals and medical institutes. Most Iranian plastic surgeons are members of American and European societies of plastic surgery or other specialties.

What is brow lift?

A brow lift or eyebrow lift, sometimes referred to as forehead lift, upper facelift, and browplasty, is a facial rejuvenation procedure intended to enhance your appearance that has been marred by droopy eyebrows and other signs of aging, including skin laxity, wrinkles, and furrows.

What can brow lift surgery fix?

Generally speaking, browplasty is aimed at upper face rejuvenation. Whether you’re born with heavy brows and ‘hooded eyes’ or the process of aging has affected your appearance, causing your forehead skin to lose its elasticity, leading to wrinkles, furrows, frown line, and sagging skin, an eyebrow lift will fix them all.

The main benefits of a brow lift surgery can be summarized as follows:

• Increased self-confidence and positive feeling about your look;
• A troubled, angry face replaced with a more radiant and cheerful one;
• People no longer mistakenly perceive you as a ‘too serious’, unapproachable person.

How is a brow lift surgery performed?

A consultation is held between you and the surgeon before surgery. The surgeon examines your face to check the skin type, skin laxity, and degree of brow sagging. He/she also hears your expectations and desired results.

Depending on the technique the surgeons uses, he/she makes the necessary incision(s) within the hairline, eyebrow or in the forehead, and then pulls the skin up and removes the excess skin. After the completion of the surgery, the surgeon uses sutures or skin adhesives to close the incision.

Types of brow lifts

There are three common techniques for forehead lift surgery.

• Traditional technique (coronal brow lift or open brow lift)
• Endoscopic technique
• Limited incision technique (temporal brow lift)

Open eyebrow lift (coronal brow lift)

In a traditional brow lift, your surgeon makes a long incision across the forehead, either around the hairline or in one of the wrinkles of the forehead, and then lifts the skin. Then he/she removes any excess skin, and pulls the remaining skin together, realign the muscles if necessary, and then stitching up the incision.

Endoscopic eyebrow lift

In the endoscopic brow lift method, your surgeon makes several tiny incisions in the scalp and then inserts an endoscope in the scalp. The endoscopic technique might not be suitable for all patients but it causes less bruising and the recovery is faster.

Temporal brow lift

This is a minimally invasive procedure that can be done under local anesthesia in the surgeon’s office. A temporal eyebrow lift is often combined with an eyelid surgery. It involves making incisions above the temples behind the hairline to reposition the tissues of the outer brow area.

What to do before a brow lift surgery?

Here are a few pre-operative tips for a forehead lift:

• Hydration is very important;
• You may want to grow your hair long to cover the scars after the surgery.
• Ask your doctor to give you instructions about the recovery and explain the potential risks and complications.

Brow lift surgery recovery and post-care

Depending on whether you have a brow lift alone or in conjunction with other procedures (such as facelift or eyelid surgery). A recovery timeline for a typical eyebrow lift is as follows:

• Surgery day: it is recommended to walk around the house.

Risks and complications of brow lift

Every surgery has potential risks and complications. The most common side effects of a forehead lift are pain, bruising, swelling, and scarring. The more serious risks of an eyebrow lift surgery include bleeding, loss of sensation, facial asymmetry, infection, elevated hairline, serious scarring, nerve injury, fluid accumulation, poor wound healing, and eye irritation or dryness.

The chance of developing complications after browplasty can be greatly reduced by choosing a board-certified and experienced surgeon and following the post-op instructions provided by the surgeon.

Brow lift vs. facelift

It is sometimes difficult to tell which cosmetic procedure is right for a person who wants to get their face rejuvenated. Procedures can be customized and combined for different people to address their specific needs. As said earlier, a brow lift is intended to address the upper face problems, thus it is sometimes called upper facelift. A mid-facelift and lower facelift, on the other hand, improve the sagging skin and jowls on the middle and lower sections of the face.

Brow lift vs. eyelid surgery

As the name suggests, an eyelid surgery (or blepharoplasty) is aimed at correcting the deformities of the lids (upper and lower eyelids). While it can be combined with an eyelid surgery, a brow lift surgery alone doesn’t involve altering the eyelids directly, though the lifting of the eyebrows improves the eyelids as well.

A practical point for your care

Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.^[1]
