What is a Temple Lift Surgery? Who is it for and How is it Performed?

Signs of aging on the face usually begin around the eyes, the outer parts of the eyebrows, and the temple area. Sagging skin and wrinkles in these areas give a tired, unhappy, and aged appearance. Temple lift surgery is an aesthetic surgical method that eliminates this appearance, providing a younger, more dynamic, and lively expression. Thanks to endoscopic temple lift, scarless facelift, and upper face lift techniques, natural, long-lasting, and scar-free results can be achieved.

What is Temple Lift Surgery?

Temple lift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that lifts the outer parts of the eyebrows and the eye area upwards, eliminating sagging and reducing wrinkles. This procedure not only benefits the temple area but also has positive effects on the forehead and eye surroundings.

• In the endoscopic temple lift technique, the operation is performed through small incisions with the help of a camera.
• Thanks to the advantage of scarless facelift, there are no visible stitch marks after the procedure.
• It can often be combined with upper face lift and forehead lift surgeries.

Who is it for?

Temple lift surgery is especially suitable for:

1. People with drooping outer eyebrows – which creates a tired and stern facial expression.
2. Those with sagging and wrinkles around the eyes – to reduce crow’s feet lines.
3. Individuals experiencing sagging in the upper face area – especially effective for people over 35.
4. Those who want a natural but effective rejuvenation – providing a youthful expression without loss of facial mimicry.

Note: It may not be suitable for people under 18, those with serious health issues, or with very low skin elasticity.

How is Temple Lift Surgery Performed?

The operation is generally performed using the endoscopic method. This technique is both safe and accelerates the healing process.

Surgery steps:

1. Anesthesia: Usually sedation or general anesthesia is applied.
2. Incisions: Small 1-2 cm incisions are made inside the scalp in hidden areas.
3. Endoscopic imaging: Tissues and muscles are visualized with the help of a camera.
4. Tissue lifting: The skin and muscles in the temple area are lifted upwards.
5. Fixation: The new position is secured with special stitches or fixation devices.
6. Closure: Incisions are closed with aesthetic stitches.

Thanks to this technique, no visible scar is formed from the outside, providing the advantage of a scarless facelift.

What is the Process Like?

• Surgery duration: Approximately 1-2 hours.
• Hospital stay: Usually discharged the same day.
• Pain: Mild and easily controlled with painkillers.
• Bruising/Swelling: Noticeable in the first 5-7 days, significantly reduces within 2 weeks.

Before and After Surgery

Before surgery:

• Smoking and alcohol should be stopped at least 2 weeks prior.
• Blood-thinning medications should be discontinued.
• Expectations and desired results should be discussed thoroughly with the doctor.

After surgery:

• Keep your head elevated for the first 48 hours.
• Avoid trauma and pressure.
• Light exercises can be started after the 2nd week.
• Full recovery is achieved in 3-4 weeks.

Recovery Process

• Mild swelling and tightness during the first week are normal.
• Stitches are removed within 7-10 days.
• Swelling and bruising significantly decrease within 2 weeks.
• The face regains a completely natural appearance after 1 month.
• Results can last between 5-10 years.

Thanks to endoscopic temple lift, the recovery period is much faster compared to traditional methods.
