A temporal lift aims to lift the temple area, lifting drooping eyebrows and creating a more open and brighter look. This procedure is performed on patients who, due to aging, have drooping eyebrows. It is also performed on those who have this condition due to congenital morphological characteristics.
This type of facelift has the specific purpose of raising the eyebrows to give greater visibility to the eyes and make the first third of the face more expressive and interesting. It generally finds the ideal combination with the blepharoplasty, with the aim of illuminating and rejuvenating the eye area.
A temporal lift is recommended to correct wrinkles and creases around the eyes and forehead, as well as to lift drooping eyebrows. Generally, it is indicated for people who are beginning to notice signs of aging around the eyes and forehead and wish to improve the appearance of these areas. However, it is important to consult an experienced surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for this type of procedure and discuss available treatment options.
A temporal lift involves making incisions of up to 4 centimeters in the scalp at the temple. Once the incisions are made, the doctor proceeds with SMAS plication, one of the most frequently used methods. Additionally, depending on the area of the face requiring treatment, incisions may be made in the temporal region, behind, or in some cases even at the junction of the hairline and skin of the temporal region. The temporal and brow lift technique aims to straighten the periocular area with a transverse vector and realign it with controlled tension.
This procedure can be performed under either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The choice of anesthesia for a temporal lift depends on the actual surgical plan, the patient's medical history, and the anesthesiologist's medical considerations. It is essential, however, that the procedure be performed under the supervision of an experienced anesthesiologist equipped with the appropriate tools for administering the anesthesia and monitoring the patient.
The result of the temporal lift is particularly visible when combined with blepharoplasty Upper and lower. Although it is not a procedure performed with the aim of rejuvenating the image, the particular brightness it gives to the eye area provides an aesthetic benefit to the entire face. In fact, the temporal lift makes the gaze interesting and dynamic, also offering a better skin plane for the makeup itself.
