Temporal Lift

The Temporal Lift at V CLINIC Brno elevates the outer third of the eyebrow through a 5 cm incision hidden within the hairline, with concurrent repositioning of the eye muscle creating a subtle volume shift in the cheekbone region and a mild 'cat eye' effect. The technique addresses drooping brows, reduced eye-to-brow distance, and facial asymmetry while simultaneously adding subtle lateral cheek volume — a combination difficult to achieve with single-target procedures. Performed under local anaesthesia in approximately 45 minutes with same-day discharge.

The temporal lift is a nuanced procedure that achieves two distinct aesthetic changes from a single 5 cm incision hidden within the temporal hairline. By accessing the outer brow region directly, the technique lifts the tail of the eyebrow — the lateral third — which commonly descends first and most visibly with age, causing a heavy, drooping appearance at the outer eye corners. What distinguishes the temporal lift from other brow techniques is the concurrent muscle repositioning component: by adjusting the position of the eye muscle in the same session, the procedure creates a subtle lateral shift of cheekbone-area volume and a gentle upward tension at the outer eye corner — the 'cat eye' effect — without any incision near the eye itself. This makes the temporal lift an option for patients who want lateral brow elevation combined with a subtle eye-opening and cheekbone-enhancing effect in a procedure smaller in scope than a full brow lift or mid facelift. At V CLINIC Brno, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or local plus analgosedation in approximately 45 minutes, with same-day discharge. The post-operative protocol includes a 24/7 support hotline for the recovery period, suture removal at day 7, and activity restrictions for two to three weeks. Final results are visible at one to two months. The temporal lift is performed as a standalone procedure or combined with upper eyelid surgery, mid facelift, or other facial corrections for patients addressing multiple concerns simultaneously.
