Temple lift is a cosmetic procedure to tighten the skin around the eyes, cheeks, forehead, and temples. It can be performed surgically or non-surgically. Non-surgical temple lifts include those using fillers, Botox, HIFU, threads, and plasma. Surgical temple lifts include open, closed, and temporal methods. Non-surgical temple lifts typically have temporary results, while surgical temple lifts are permanent and last for several years.

Types of Non-Surgical Temple Lifts

Permanent temple lift surgery stages
The process of a temporary face lift (such as a temple lift or eyebrow lift) usually involves several specific and specialized stages, which are as follows:
- Anesthesia:To ensure comfort and painlessness during the procedure, the patient is given local anesthesia or, in some cases, general anesthesia.
- Incision: A small incision is usually made in the temple area and above the hairline to remain hidden in the natural creases of the skin and leave no significant scar.
- Tissue repositioning: In this step, the surgeon carefully lifts the skin, underlying tissues, and sometimes muscles and moves them to a higher position to make the face look younger and more vibrant.
- Removal of excess skin: To improve the final results and eliminate excess lines and wrinkles, some excess skin is removed.
- Closing the incisions: The incisions are carefully closed using fine sutures or surgical staples to ensure proper healing and minimize scarring.
After the procedure, the patient is monitored and given instructions for post-operative care to reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and maintain the results of the procedure.
How Long Does a Temple Lift Last?
The longevity of a temple lift varies depending on the method used and the individual characteristics of the patient. If the lift is performed surgically, the results usually last up to 5 years and, in some cases, even longer, especially if the patient’s skin has good elasticity and post-operative care is properly followed.
In contrast, non-surgical methods such as thread lifts or other minimally invasive techniques have less longevity and usually remain effective for 12 to 24 months. Other factors such as age, genetics, skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle (such as smoking or poor diet), and even stress management also affect the durability of the results.
Suitable Candidate for Surgical Temple Lift
Suitable candidates for surgical temple lift are those who fall into one of the following groups:
- Individuals with severe eyebrow sagging, reducing the distance between their eyebrows and eyes.
- Those whose eyebrow ends are drooping and putting pressure on their eyelids.
- Individuals who have fine lines or wrinkles in the corners of their eyes.
- Those who genetically have sagging or wrinkles in the temple area.
- Individuals seeking a more aesthetically pleasing shape for their eyebrows and eyes.
However, consultation with a specialist is necessary for this surgery, and ultimately the doctor must determine whether you are suitable for this procedure.
