Brow & Forehead Lift

A brow and forehead lift at GISANT raises drooped eyebrows and softens horizontal forehead lines by repositioning the brow and tightening the forehead skin and underlying tissue. Incisions are placed within or just behind the hairline so scarring stays hidden. The procedure can be performed under local or general anaesthesia, with an overnight stay if general anaesthesia is used. It is often chosen by patients whose heavy or low brow position contributes to a tired or stern expression, and it pairs naturally with upper-eyelid surgery for a comprehensive refresh of the upper face. Stitches are removed at ten to fourteen days and most patients return to work within one to two weeks.

As the upper face ages, the brow descends and the forehead develops horizontal expression lines, which together can create a tired, heavy or stern appearance even in someone who feels well rested. A brow (forehead) lift corrects this by elevating the eyebrows to a more youthful position and smoothing the forehead, addressing the cause rather than masking it. At GISANT the procedure costs CZK 35,000 and is performed under local or general anaesthesia depending on its extent and the patient's preference; an overnight stay applies when general anaesthesia is used. The surgeon places incisions within or just behind the hairline so the scars are concealed, then repositions the brow and tightens the forehead skin and underlying tissue to raise the brow line and soften deep creases. Because the brow position strongly influences the appearance of the upper eyelids, the procedure is frequently planned alongside upper blepharoplasty for a coordinated upper-face rejuvenation. After surgery, stitches are removed at ten to fourteen days. Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks, and full activity resumes at around three to four weeks. Swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes settle over the first weeks, and the result becomes increasingly natural as healing progresses. A brow lift suits patients whose eyebrows have descended and whose forehead lines have deepened with age, particularly where this gives a perpetually tired or angry look. Pre-operatively, patients should avoid acute illness for around three weeks and stop blood-thinning medication two to three weeks before surgery, as advised by the surgeon. A consultation establishes the most suitable technique and whether to combine the lift with eyelid surgery.
