The Gliding Brow Lift at V CLINIC Brno uses two small incisions hidden within the hairline to access deep facial tissues and vertically reposition the brow, secured with fine sutures to the underlying muscle. The technique lifts drooping eyebrows that create a tired or heavy-lidded appearance and is often proposed as an alternative to upper eyelid surgery when the root cause of excess lid skin is actually brow ptosis rather than eyelid skin excess. The 45-minute procedure uses local anaesthesia with no overnight stay, and sutures in the hairline are virtually invisible once healed.
About this treatment
Brow ptosis — the downward migration of the brow with age or genetics — is frequently misidentified as excess upper eyelid skin, leading patients to request blepharoplasty when the appropriate intervention is actually a brow lift. At V CLINIC Brno, surgeons assess the brow position during consultation and recommend the gliding brow lift when brow descent is the primary driver of the perceived upper eyelid heaviness.
The gliding brow lift accesses the brow via two small incisions placed within the natural hairline, where any resulting scar becomes invisible once healed. Through these access points, the deeper brow tissue is released from its underlying attachments and repositioned upward, secured with fine sutures to the underlying muscle to maintain the new position long-term. The technique causes minimal disruption to adjacent anatomy and produces a natural-looking…
The 45-minute procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or local plus analgosedation and requires no overnight stay. A small hemostat drain is removed at days 2–3, external sutures are removed at day 7, and active recovery is two to three weeks. Final results are visible at one to two months. The gliding brow lift is suitable as a standalone procedure or combined with upper eyelid surgery (where residual true skin excess remains after brow elevation)…
