Temple Lift

A temple lift, also known as a temporal lift or lateral brow lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate the outer part of the eyebrows and rejuvenate the upper face. It targets sagging at the temples and the sides of the eyes, helping to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Unlike a full forehead or brow lift, the temple lift focuses specifically on lifting the outer third of the brow and smoothing the lateral forehead area. It is ideal for individuals who experience drooping in this region but do not require a complete brow repositioning.

At Medixir Clinic, the temple lift is performed using small, discreet incisions made within the hairline at the sides of the head. Through these incisions, the surgeon gently lifts the tissues and repositions the brow arch, creating a naturally elevated and more open eye area.

The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with sedation and takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. It can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures such as blepharoplasty, facelift, or endoscopic brow lift.

Recovery after a temple lift is generally fast and comfortable. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days. Most can return to work or daily activities within 3 to 5 days.

Results from a temple lift are subtle yet impactful—lifting the outer brow, reducing wrinkles near the eyes, and creating a more youthful and expressive upper face. The incisions are hidden in the hair, making any scarring virtually invisible.

This procedure is especially popular among younger patients looking for early intervention, as well as those who want a refreshed look without undergoing more extensive surgery.

Ideal candidates are individuals with mild sagging in the outer brow area, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations about the outcome. It’s also a great choice for those who want to enhance the results of non-surgical treatments like Botox or fillers.

At Medixir Clinic, our expert surgeons use precise techniques to deliver tailored, natural-looking results while prioritizing patient safety and comfort.

If you're looking to enhance your upper facial features with minimal downtime, a temple lift may be the perfect solution. Schedule your consultation at Medixir Clinic to learn more about this effective and elegant procedure.
