Temporal Lift

A targeted surgical procedure designed to correct sagging in the temple area and the outer corners of the eyes. By lifting the temporal skin through hidden incisions within the hairline, it eliminates the "sad" and "tired" expression caused by gravity, restoring a dynamic and youthful gaze.

Right for You?
  • If you are generally over the age of 40.
  • You have sagging at the outer corners of your eyes and eyebrows.
  • You complain about looking "sad" or "tired" due to drooping eyelids.
  • The distance between your eyebrows and eyelashes has shortened.
  • You want a procedure with hidden scars (inside the hairline).

Common Myths
  • "It gives a slanted 'cat eye' look." → False. If done naturally, it only lifts the sagging tissue to its original position, not creating an artificial slant unless requested.
  • "It leaves visible scars on the forehead." → False. Incisions are strictly made within the hair-bearing scalp.
  • "It's the same as a facelift." → False. It only targets the upper third of the face (temples and eyes), not the jawline or neck.

What Is Temple Lifting Aesthetic?

When the age factor, genetic heredity and the effect of gravity are combined, some changes in the face occur. The lines on the forehead, temple and face areas are different from each other depending on the elasticity of the skin in every person. Especially after the age of 40, the elasticity of the skin decreases. This causes deformations on the skin. The skin in the forehead area cannot withstand gravity. Likewise, the temple area and the corners of the eyes begin to sag. Over time, existing lines on the skin deepen. The skin becomes loose and begins to prolapse. It causes a downward prolapsing by putting pressure on the outer part of the eyes and eyebrows at the temples. This causes a tired and sad appearance. The only solution to prolapsing in the temple area is to stretch the temple with aesthetic.

Why Do We Look Tired?

Depending on the loss of elasticity of the skin and surrounding soft tissues, the distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes becomes shorter as the eyebrows move downwards. This can make you look older, sad, and tired even when you are rested.

How Is It Performed?

The temple lifting is one of the faster and less risky operations performed in the face area. The temple lifting aesthetic starts where the temples meet the scalp. The temporal (temple) area skin is pulled upwards through the incisions made inside the scalp. If the skin in the temple area of the person is excessive, the excess skin in this section is cut and removed. It is one of the most preferred surgeries in the face area because it gives a youthful expression to the person.

The Incision: The temple lifting aesthetic starts where the temples meet the scalp. Incisions are made inside the scalp, ensuring no visible scars remain on the face.

The Technique: The temporal (temple) area skin is pulled upwards through these incisions. If the skin in the temple area of the person is excessive, the excess skin in this section is cut and removed.

The Outcome: It is one of the most preferred surgeries in the face area because it gives a youthful expression to the person immediately.

As the temple skin loses elasticity and succumbs to gravity, it puts downward pressure on the outer eyebrows and eyes. This often results in a tired or sad appearance that cannot be corrected by treating the eyes alone.
The procedure begins where the temples meet the scalp, with incisions made entirely within the hair-bearing skin. This allows the surgeon to pull the temporal skin upwards and remove any excess while keeping the resulting scars completely hidden.
No, a temple lift is recognised as one of the faster and less risky operations in facial aesthetics. It is frequently preferred by patients because it provides a significant youthful expression with a relatively straightforward surgical process.
While it can be performed on any adult, it is most common after the age of 40 when skin elasticity begins to decrease visibly. It is an effective solution for restoring the distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes that has shortened over time.
