Temporal lift
Surgical AestheticsTemporal lift, also known as a brow lift, is one of the most popular surgical procedures in recent times. It can bring about significant changes, especially around the eye area.
What is a temporal lift?
A temporal lift involves elevating the temporal region and brow. Depending on the individual case, the outer corner of the eye can also be lifted (cat eye or canthoplasty), resulting in a more aesthetic appearance and a youthful, refreshed look.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Who are ideal candidates for a temporal lift?
Patients who complain of a tired appearance, have a low brow line, or have a negative canthal tilt (where the outer corner of the eye is lower than the inner corner) are considered ideal candidates. There is no age limit.
What is the temporal lift surgery like?
Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure takes approximately 1.5 hours. The structures of the temple, brow, and eyelid are lifted as a unit from a deep plane and repositioned.
Where will the scar be?
There will be a 3cm scar hidden within the hairline on both temples.
"I want my brows to be lifted but I don't want to change my expression"...
This is entirely up to you. In this case, the brow and temporal structures are altered without intervening in the corners of the eyes.
"I want my eyes to look younger but I don't want to change my expression"...
Again, this is up to you. In this case, the brow is lifted as a whole without changing its shape.
What is the recovery process like?
You will spend the first night in the hospital for observation. You can be discharged the next day and take care of your personal needs without assistance. Dressings will be applied for 5 days, and this is a simple 1-minute process you can do yourself. You will have a follow-up appointment after 1 week. Healing times vary from person to person. Some swelling is expected in the first 2-4 weeks. You will receive a detailed information sheet about each day of the post-operative process.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What will I look like in the mirror after surgery?
The eye area is the most prone to swelling and bruising. In the first month after surgery, especially the first 2 weeks, there will be swelling on the face. In short, you will have a swollen appearance for the first month. After the first month, you will start to like what you see in the mirror, but the effects of the surgery may still be noticeable. The full recovery process takes about 4 months.
Are the results permanent?
The surgery works by repositioning the deep structures of the face. This creates a new shape and position in the temporal region. The effects of the surgery are permanent, but over time, this effect will age with you.
When can I return to social life?
You can return to social life after 2-4 weeks, but we recommend waiting at least 4-6 weeks for special events.
When will I see the final results?
After the first month, the surgical appearance will diminish, but the final result will be seen after the surgical healing is complete, which is approximately 3-6 months.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Depending on the situation, this procedure can be combined with a mid-face lift (where the cheek tissue is lifted), a forehead lift (where the entire forehead tissue is lifted), or a face and neck lift. It can also be performed simultaneously with rhinoplasty for beautiful results.
Is this procedure the same as a thread lift?
No. Since all tissues are released from the deep plane, it provides a much smoother, more harmonious, and more permanent lifting effect.
