The Ultimate Guide to Eyebrow Lift in Malaysia

Last fact-checked: 23 February 2020

With an eyebrow lift in Malaysia, you can remove wrinkles and furrows on your forehead and smoothen the top part of your face, taking years off your age. Also called browplasty or a forehead lift, this aesthetic procedure may be performed alone or along with other facial procedures, like blepharoplasty (eye bag removal) or a facelift, and is likely to save you a considerable amount of money compared to having it at home.

A browplasty will also help your eyebrows achieve a more natural arch, particularly if they are drooping due to age and gravity. The procedure will open up your eyes as well. Different kinds of surgeries may be used for a browplasty and you need to consult with a doctor to find out which kind is right for your face and your situation.

Why Consider Eyebrow Lift in Malaysia?

Malaysia is easy to reach from Australia and most major international airlines fly there. Cheap or reasonably priced flights will cut your costs, which is a major factor when weighing up whether to head abroad for surgery. Malaysia is also a top tourist destination and attracts millions of international tourists each year, with a good chunk of these coming from down under. The country has superior medical facilities that make it popular with medical tourists.

It's also possible to combine a holiday in this exotic country along with your surgical procedure; enjoy your holiday at a beach or hill resort, indulge in exotic national and international cuisines and have a great time in the clubs, restraints, nightspots and bars. The country is also a premier shopping destination as it is reasonably priced whether you buy local or international brands. You can choose to stay in a budget hotel or a luxury one and all of them are fairly affordable since it is a major tourist hub.

Why Can’t I Simply Book My Medical Tourism Trip on My Own?

An internet search in the area you are in will throw up many facilities in Malaysia offering cut-price plastic surgery; however, going through this route comes with a degree of risk that can easily be avoided by booking through a trusted online platform like Medical Departures.

Before any doctor, surgeon, clinic or hospital is listed on our site, we conduct our own checks into:

• Doctors’ experience, certifications and accreditations, such as with the such as the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons
• The professionalism of the staff (such as whether they speak English, how accommodating they are, etc.)
• The equipment and overall standard of the facilities.
• Legal and criminal record checks
• What past patients are saying about their treatment, as well as conducting interviews

How Long Does the Surgery Take and What Does it Entail?

Different procedures can be used for an eyebrow lift in Malaysia. For instance, you and your surgeon may decide on a:

• Direct lift
• Mid-forehead lift
• Coronal lift
• Endoscopic brow lift
• Endotine brow lift

The chosen technique will depend on your current condition and what you want to achieve after surgery. Depending on the type of surgery, it may take between one and three hours.

In brief, the surgeon will make incisions in certain places across the brow, cut off excess skin or fat and suture it in such a way that the scars will be barely visible and will fade over time.

Post-surgery Considerations:

• You may have to stay overnight in hospital for monitoring although this is not always necessary
• You will be in pain and prescribed antibiotics and painkillers and have to rest for at least a week 
• After that time, stitches that need to be removed will be removed, or you have stitches that dissolve
• Within 10-15 days you should be able to resume your activities, though there will be some restrictions in place till you are fully healed

How Much Does an Eyebrow Lift in Malaysia Cost?

An eyebrow lift in Australia can cost you between AUD 10,000 and AUD 15,000 - you will have to pay out of pocket for this elective surgery.

In Malaysia, with doctors of good standing and at quality clinics, the cost of a similar procedure starts at around AUD 1,600. That gives you huge savings of around 80%. [Please note: these prices are approximate estimates based on international data, calculated at the time of writing.]
