What is a Temple lift?
A temple lift, also known as a temporal lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and rejuvenate the upper face, particularly the outer brow and temple areas. This procedure helps restore a youthful and refreshed appearance by addressing sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles and restoring the natural position of eyebrows. The temple lift is a minimally invasive surgery that provides natural-looking results with a more defined and lifted brow.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The temple lift involves making small incisions hidden within the hairline at the temples. Through these incisions, the surgeon lifts and repositions the underlying tissues, tightening the skin and smoothing out wrinkles. Often this is done with the assistance of an endoscope -a small camera –for better view of the tissues. The procedure especially enhances the contour of the Eyebrows, especially their tails which tend to descent by time.
