Travelling for a brow-lift is a rewarding way to fully enjoy the benefits of this rejuvenating procedure. All those creases that have accumulated over the years can be smoothed away by the time you return from your journey. Costa Rica and South Africa are at the more exotic end of the travel spectrum or maybe you would prefer a European destination, in the Czech Republic or Belgium? Whatever the destination, talented, fully qualified surgeons are available to give you a new fresher look.
Members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons performed over 38,000 brow-lifts in 2005, alone*.
An audit of members of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons revealed that brow-lifts accounted for 3% of all cosmetic surgical procedures**.
Allow at least two weeks for the most visible after effects of the surgery to recede. Do not spend time in the sun following the procedure: ensure this is possible in the destination of your choice. Plan no strenuous activities while abroad.
