Brow / Forehead Lift

A brow or forehead lift raises drooping eyebrows and smooths the horizontal lines and frown furrows of the upper face, opening up a tired or heavy-looking gaze. By repositioning the brow to a more youthful height, it refreshes the area above the eyes that ageing tends to weigh down. Clinic for Luck performs the lift from 50,000 Kč and frequently combines it with upper eyelid surgery when heaviness of the lids is partly caused by a sagging brow. It suits patients whose forehead and brow position, rather than the eyelids alone, create a fatigued expression.

The forehead and brow are among the first areas to show ageing: the brows descend, horizontal lines etch across the forehead, and vertical frown lines deepen between the eyebrows, together producing a tired, heavy or even angry resting expression. A brow lift (lifting čela) elevates the brow to a more youthful position and softens these lines, restoring an open, rested appearance to the upper third of the face. The surgeon repositions the brow and releases or weakens the muscles responsible for frowning, smoothing the forehead. Incision placement depends on the technique and the patient's hairline — typically hidden within the hair-bearing scalp so that scarring is concealed. Because brow descent often contributes to apparent upper-eyelid heaviness, the lift is commonly planned alongside upper blepharoplasty; addressing the brow first ensures the eyelid surgery is not over-corrected. The procedure is performed under appropriate anaesthesia and is shorter than a full facelift. Recovery involves some bruising and swelling of the forehead and around the eyes that settles over one to two weeks, with sutures removed within the first week. Patients keep the head elevated early on and avoid strenuous activity until cleared. Results appear as swelling resolves and last for years, although the natural ageing process continues. A brow lift is well suited to patients whose primary concern is a low brow position and forehead lines rather than skin laxity lower in the face — for whom a facelift would be the wrong operation. At consultation the surgeon assesses brow height, forehead lines and eyelid position to confirm whether a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or a combination best addresses the concern.
