The operation called temporal lift is an operation in which outward and upward lifting process is done transversely. During the aging process, external side of the brow may show a significant ptosis than the internal side. The reason is that external side of the brows has much more smaller muscles than the internal side. At this point, sagging may occur in temples.

Temporal lift provides you a relaxed, attractive appearance. Upper side of the face is lifted during the process. This significantly reduces the number and depth of the wrinkles and gives attractive features. This technique has become popular in beauty industry and has helped numerous people for struggling with aging symptoms. Average time of operation is only 1 hour.

How is Temporal Lift Done?

Surgeon explicitly sees the tissues and muscles, applies the lifting process, corrects the position, and removes the excess fat. The operation provides the lifting of temples and even correction of the wrinkles. This method is not recommended for people tending to alopecia. The reason is that the suture marks will be obviously seen without hair.
