Direct Brow Lift

The Direct Brow Lift at V CLINIC Brno places the incision directly above the brow, removing a carefully measured strip of skin to lift and reposition the eyebrow precisely. This approach provides highly predictable, stable results and is particularly suited to patients with significant asymmetry or marked brow drooping. The scar above the brow is visible initially but fades naturally over months. The 45-minute procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with no overnight stay, suture removal at day 9, and final results visible at one to two months.

The direct brow lift is a precise and highly controllable approach to brow elevation that differs from the hairline-based techniques in both incision placement and the mechanism of lift. By placing the incision directly above the brow and excising a carefully measured ellipse of skin, the surgeon can achieve an exact, symmetrical elevation with minimal risk of over- or under-correction — a characteristic that makes this technique valuable when asymmetry correction is a primary goal. The trade-off is incision visibility: unlike hairline-based brow lifts where scars are hidden, the direct brow lift leaves a scar directly above the eyebrow. This scar is typically visible for several months but generally fades to a fine line that blends with the brow boundary over time. For patients prioritising precision over incision concealment — particularly older patients with deeply creased skin where scars heal favourably — the direct brow lift may be the recommended approach. At V CLINIC Brno, the procedure takes approximately 45 minutes under local anaesthesia or local plus analgosedation. There is no overnight stay and patients can usually return to office work within a few days. Post-op care includes a dressing applied immediately and suture removal at day 9. Scar massage is encouraged from week two onward to improve the final scar quality. Active recovery is two weeks and final results are visible at one to two months. The direct brow lift can be performed standalone or combined with blepharoplasty and other facial procedures.
