An eyebrow lift in Mexicali is recommended if you want to improve the look of frown lines between your eyebrows and banish wrinkles across the forehead—all for a much more affordable price than you’d pay at home.

Over time, most people begin to notice sagging brows, frown lines, and other facial wrinkles. Such lines and wrinkles are a common part of the aging process. The appearance of frown lines between the brows can create a frown or even an angry appearance. As skin relaxes as we age, the eyebrows may also begin to droop and even cause a hooded look over the upper eyelids, which may cause you to look tired.

An eyebrow lift may be the right solution if you are looking to do something about these signs of aging and want a more alert, youthful appearance. Read about how you can get an eyebrow lift for less with Medical Departures.

For patients in the United States and Canada, traveling to Mexicali for an eyebrow lift could be the perfect solution, offering affordable pricing along with the chance to recuperate in a resort-like environment. As the cost of healthcare has continued to increase, particularly in the United States, more and more people have begun to research medical tourism options. Mexico can be easily reached, either by flying or driving, making the country a convenient choice.

Along with providing affordable pricing, Mexico also offers expert medical care. Numerous destinations in Mexico, including border towns like Mexicali, as well as fly-to destinations like Cancun, are now popular choices for patients traveling from the United States, as well as Canada.

While there are certainly many excellent clinics in Mexico, you should do the research to vet and select a reputable surgeon and clinic. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it is important to choose a surgeon whom you can trust to perform your eyebrow lift. This includes selecting a surgeon who has completed a minimum of education and surgical training.

We understand the importance of experience and reputation at Medical Departures. In consideration of that concern, we only list clinics and doctors with whom we feel completely comfortable. Our quality-checked clinics have all been thoroughly checked, including confirmation of professional memberships and qualifications. Additionally, we visit facilities in person and check criminal and legal records. We also conduct real patient interviews to verify the quality of each facility and physician.

An eyebrow lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. This procedure can be performed in several different ways, for instance:

• Some doctors prefer to use a thin tube equipped with a camera known as an endoscope, where small incisions are usually made within the hairline.
• An incision within the anterior hairline may be recommended for patients with high hairlines. This type of incision makes it possible to lift the brow without changing the height of the hairline.

During your eyebrow lift procedure, your surgeon will likely tape your forehead. Additionally, your head may also be wrapped to assist in minimizing bruising and swelling following your procedure. The surgeon may also insert a thin tube to help drain excess fluid and prevent it from collecting under the skin. Incisions used in an eyebrow lift may be closed using absorbable or removable sutures.

Surgical tape, skin adhesives, or special clips may also be used. Staples and stitches will need to be removed within about one week of your procedure. Any temporary fixation screws that may have been used to hold your new brow line in place will need to be removed within two weeks.

Following a forehead lift:

• Patients should expect to experience some bruising and swelling; this may also include the eyes and cheeks. Swelling should dissipate within approximately one week.
• It is important to keep your head elevated for a minimum of two days following your eyebrow lift. This will help to ease swelling.
• Cold compresses may also be used in affected areas.
• Your doctor may prescribe painkillers to help ease any discomfort or pain you might experience.
• Patients should also expect to experience some itching following an eyebrow lift.
• Numbness is also a common side effect of an eyebrow lift.
• Most patients are able to return to work and their normal activities within 10 days of having an eyebrow lift performed.

The average cost of an eyebrow lift in Mexico is $2,200 (GBP £1,516, AUD $3,100, EUR €1,975) compared to $6,900 (GBP £4,755, AUD $9,726, EUR €6,196) in the United States.
