Phuket is one of Asia-Pacific’s most popular medical tourism destinations for facial rejuvenation. Visitors choose Phuket for modern private hospitals, experienced plastic surgeons used to caring for international patients, and meaningful cost savings compared with Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. English-speaking care teams, clear price quotes, and easy resort-style recovery help keep the process straightforward.
Beyond the operating room, Phuket offers a relaxing environment for gentle walks during early recovery, healthy food options, and hotels that understand post-op needs (elevators, quiet rooms, firm mattresses). Many clinics coordinate airport pickup, pre-op testing, and post-op checkups, so logistics are simple even if this is your first procedure abroad.
An eyebrow lift—also called a brow lift or forehead lift—raises the position of the brows and smooths forehead lines to create a more awake, refreshed look. It can open up the eyes, soften a ‘tired’ or ‘worried’ expression, and reduce deep creases.
Candidacy is typically based on visible brow descent (brow ptosis), forehead wrinkles, and skin laxity. Your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, hairline position, and goals to recommend the safest technique.
Friendly disclaimer: This guide is informational only. Your surgeon will recommend an approach based on your measurements, skin, hairline, and goals.
Most patients notice eyes that look more open, a softer forehead, and a more rested expression. Results appear gradually as swelling fades over weeks, with scars maturing over months.
A brow lift cannot stop aging, but it can reset the clock by several years. Longevity varies with skin quality, lifestyle (sun protection, smoking), and your chosen technique. Many patients combine a brow lift with upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) for the most open-eyed look.
Phuket delivers substantial value versus private care in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Pricing depends on technique, anesthesia, operating time, hospital/facility fees, and whether you combine procedures (e.g., upper eyelid surgery). Medical Departures’ verified clinic pages indicate that eyebrow lift prices in Phuket can start around A$2,100, compared to A$6,000–A$6,500 or more in Australia (private). Always request an itemized written quote that lists surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility, implants/devices (if any), medications, garments, and follow-ups.

Medical Departures lists vetted hospitals and clinics with surgeon bios, facility photos, maps, verified prices, and patient reviews. A few popular options for facial procedures in Phuket include:
Why pick it: Well-rated cosmetic center serving international patients; clear pricing and range of facial rejuvenation services.
Why pick it: Part of a national brand with multiple branches; offers surgical and non-surgical facial treatments, including brow and eyelid options.
Why pick it: High-volume plastic surgery hospital setting; multidisciplinary backup and international patient services.
Brow lifts are widely performed and generally safe in trained hands, but all surgery carries risks: bleeding, infection, fluid collection, delayed healing, asymmetry, numbness or nerve irritation, hair thinning near the incision, visible scarring, and the potential need for revision. Discuss your medications (especially blood thinners), smoking status, and medical history with your surgeon. Report any fever, increasing redness, or sudden vision changes urgently.
Technique matters: Endoscopic lifts suit many patients seeking natural elevation with smaller incisions; open lifts can remove more skin or adjust a high/low hairline. Your surgeon will explain trade-offs so you can decide confidently.
Phuket International Airport (HKT) connects via nonstop and one-stop flights from Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and Asia. Many clinics can arrange private transfers. Pick accommodation within a 10–20 minute drive of your clinic, ideally with elevator access and quiet rooms.
Check destination health advice before travel. Keep copies of your operative report and details of any fixation device used. For long flights soon after surgery, follow your surgeon’s mobility and hydration advice, and consider compression stockings if recommended. If you combine tourism with surgery, schedule excursions after early healing—avoid swimming or strenuous activities until you’re cleared.
Short answer: Plan 7–10 days for checks before flying home.
More detail: Most patients attend 1–2 post-op visits in Phuket. Many are cleared to fly between Day 7 and Day 10, depending on swelling, comfort, and whether you combined procedures (e.g., eyelid surgery).
Short answer: Surgical outcomes aren’t guaranteed, but clinics may have revision policies; devices may carry manufacturer warranties.
More detail: Ask your clinic about (1) any device/implant warranty if a fixation device is used, and (2) the clinic’s revision policy for early complications or asymmetry. Request the terms in writing, including any fees for hospital, anesthesia, or surgeon time.
Short answer: Most accept major credit cards and bank transfers; some accept cash and select e-wallets.
More detail: Confirm card brands, any surcharge, deposit/balance schedule, and exchange-rate policy. Bring two payment methods as backup.
Short answer: Incisions are usually hidden in or near the hairline or eyelid crease.
More detail: Endoscopic and limited temporal techniques use small hairline incisions. Open lifts have a longer incision, but surgeons place it to blend with hair or natural creases when possible. Scar care and sun protection help them fade.
Short answer: Yes—commonly paired with upper blepharoplasty.
More detail: Combining can maximize the ‘open-eye’ effect and may share recovery time. Your surgeon will advise on sequencing and safety.
Short answer: Clinic transfers, metered taxis, ride-hailing apps, and private drivers.
More detail: Many facilities include airport pickup. Post-op, pick door-to-door cars and avoid scooters. Ask whether your clinic provides shuttle service for follow-ups.
Short answer: Walk gently right away; resume workouts in 3–6 weeks; avoid swimming until incisions fully heal.
More detail: Light walking helps circulation early on. More strenuous exercise returns gradually after your surgeon’s clearance. Pools, hot tubs, and the ocean are off-limits until incisions are sealed and you’re risk-cleared for infection.
Short answer: Match the method to your hairline, skin, brow shape, and goals.
More detail: Endoscopic lifts suit many patients seeking subtle, natural elevation with minimal scarring. Open lifts can remove more skin or adjust a high/low hairline. Your surgeon will explain trade-offs so you can decide confidently.
Use Medical Departures to compare clinics, request multiple quotes, and secure your surgery date. Ask for operating room photos, anesthesia plan, procedure notes (technique, incisions, fixation), and a sample day-of-surgery schedule. Get all terms in writing, including cancellation windows, revision policies, and exactly what your fee includes.
