Temporal Lift Surgery

What is a Temporal Lift?

A Temporal Lift is a refined surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate the upper face. The incision is discreetly made along the natural hairline, allowing the surgeon to gently lift the skin, brow area, and—if necessary—the underlying SMAS layer. Excess skin is carefully removed, and the incision is seamlessly concealed beneath the hairline.

 

This meticulous technique helps restore firmness and youthful contour to the forehead and temples, resulting in a naturally refreshed and elegant appearance. Scarring is minimal and well-hidden, while results may last up to five years, depending on individual factors. As a minimally invasive procedure, downtime is typically brief and recovery is comfortable.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Temporal Lift?

  • Individuals experiencing mild to moderate facial laxity
  • Those with drooping eyebrows or excess skin around the eyes
  • Anyone seeking subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation without an overly tight appearance

Benefits and Precautions of a Temporal Lift

At One Surgery & Aesthetics Clinic, we offer two advanced techniques for temporal lift surgery — the Open Temporal Lift and the Endoscopic Temporal Lift.
Each technique possesses its own distinctive benefits, depending on individual facial structure and skin condition. Our board-certified surgeons will conduct a detailed evaluation to determine the most suitable approach for every patient, ensuring results that are both refined and natural.

Benefits of a Temporal Lift

  • Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the forehead, around the eyes, and at the outer corners (crow’s feet).
  • Elevates sagging brows and eyelids, and improves midface laxity for a more youthful contour.
  • Incisions are discreetly hidden along the hairline, making scars virtually unnoticeable.

Precautions and Considerations

  • The temporal area contains delicate facial nerves and muscles; therefore, the procedure should be performed only by highly experienced surgeons to prevent complications such as facial asymmetry or temporary muscle weakness.
  • A personalized surgical plan should be created for each patient, carefully considering the proportions of the forehead, brows, eyes, and temples to achieve a harmonious and natural-looking result—without excessive tightness.

How to prepare for the Temporal Lift

Schedule a direct consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to assess facial structure and discuss expectations.

Discontinue certain medications or supplements—such as those that may affect blood clotting—at least 7 days before surgery (as advised by your surgeon).

Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for 1–2 weeks prior to the procedure, as these can delay healing and affect results.

Discuss any personal health conditions or specific surgical considerations with your physician to tailor the treatment precisely to your needs.

Post op care

Get adequate rest, keeping your head slightly elevated for the first 1–2 nights after surgery.

Avoid water contact with the incision area until advised otherwise by your surgeon.

If minor bleeding occurs, gently dab with sterile gauze—avoid pressure or rubbing.

Cleanse the incision carefully and take prescribed medication as directed by your doctor.

Apply a cold compress during the first 48 hours post-surgery to minimize swelling and discomfort.
