Temporal aesthetics is an effective procedure applied to revitalize a tired facial expression and correct brow ptosis. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure involves small incisions hidden within the scalp, through which the skin and underlying tissues are lifted upward. The eye area appears more open, and the brow line looks more refreshed. Temporal aesthetics provides a tighter forehead area, a more defined outer eye contour, and a rejuvenated facial profile. Especially when performed without affecting facial expressions, the procedure offers natural results that blend harmoniously with the face.
Temporal lift surgery is a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia to address the tired appearance that settles on the face over time, drooping of the eyebrows, and skin laxity in the temple area. The temple area, which significantly affects the overall facial expression—particularly the area extending from the outer corners of the eyes to the temples—is one of the most important regions that contribute to a youthful and dynamic look. Deformations in this area can cause a person to appear tired and aged. Temporal lift surgery offers a minimal, effective, and safe intervention to resolve these issues. The goal is to help individuals achieve more dynamic, youthful, and aesthetically balanced facial features.
The core of this process involves correcting eyebrow drooping, addressing tissue deterioration in the temple area, and lifting the underlying tissues upward. As a result, the brow line is elevated, and the eye area gains a more open and energetic appearance. During the procedure, the tissues beneath the skin are carefully lifted to create an overall tightening effect on the face. This not only eliminates the tired look but also gives the face a firmer and more youthful appearance.
Temporal lift surgery is an important step toward boosting self-confidence. It can be performed alone or combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelift and eyelid surgery for more comprehensive results. The relatively fast recovery time after the procedure has increased the popularity of temporal lift surgery. In addition to its surgical benefits, this procedure also offers a more refreshed and radiant facial expression. Suitable for both men and women, the technique can be customized according to the needs of individuals from different age groups.
Temporal lift surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. The surgery begins with fine incisions made within the hair-bearing scalp. These incisions are strategically placed to be invisible, minimizing the risk of visible scarring.
Through these incisions, the skin and underlying tissues are lifted upward. Any excess tissue is adjusted, and the area is closed using dissolvable stitches. Endoscopic methods can also be used in temporal lift surgeries, in which case the underlying structures are visualized using a camera for more precise lifting. Bandages may be applied at the end of the procedure. The process is generally not uncomfortable for the patient.
The surgical plan is tailored to the individual’s facial structure, skin quality, and desired outcome. We transform the temporal lift experience into a professional journey by creating personalized treatment plans based on patients’ expectations.

Temporal lift surgery provides an effective solution to the signs of aging, offering a younger, more dynamic, and energetic facial appearance. Notable benefits include lifting the brow line, reducing wrinkles around the eyes, and brightening the overall facial expression. It helps individuals achieve a fresher, more rested look while maintaining the natural contours of the face and ensuring aesthetic balance.
Compared to other facelift techniques, the temporal lift is less invasive. The small incisions made in the hair-bearing scalp are not visible and carry minimal scarring risk. Because it is performed under local anesthesia, the risks associated with general anesthesia are avoided, and recovery time is significantly shorter. These features make the procedure a time-saving and convenient option for individuals with a busy lifestyle, allowing them to return to social life quickly.
Temporal lift surgery can be performed alone or combined with other aesthetic procedures for more dramatic results. When planned together with procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery, or dermal fillers, the overall harmony and balance of the face are enhanced, resulting in a more holistic rejuvenation.
However, the success of temporal lift surgery largely depends on proper planning and being performed by an experienced surgeon. Collaborating with a qualified specialist ensures natural-looking results that do not interfere with facial expressions.
It should be remembered that temporal lift surgery is not just a rejuvenation method—it is also a touch that boosts self-confidence and contributes to a happier, more energetic outlook. With proper evaluation and planning, it meets aesthetic expectations and provides the most suitable outcomes for one’s facial structure.
Temporal lift surgery is a suitable option for individuals experiencing problems such as drooping eyebrows, sagging in the temple area, and a tired expression around the eyes. These aesthetic concerns are commonly seen in individuals aged 30 and above due to the loss of skin elasticity associated with aging.
However, it is also suitable for younger individuals who experience eyebrow drooping due to genetic factors. People dissatisfied with their aesthetic appearance, who have no medical conditions preventing surgery and are eligible for procedures performed under local anesthesia, are considered good candidates for a temporal lift. Having realistic expectations is also one of the most important parts of the process.
The procedure must be performed without damaging nerve or muscle functions, which requires expertise. Therefore, planning the surgery with an experienced team ensures both aesthetic success and a safe recovery.
The cost of temporal lift surgery varies depending on the technique used, the experience of the surgeon, and the facilities offered by the clinic. The use of endoscopic systems, additional procedures included in the surgery, or the duration of hospital stay can all affect the total cost.
Since each procedure is planned individually for every patient, pricing can only be finalized after a thorough consultation. When it comes to sensitive procedures that affect facial appearance, like temporal lift surgery, it is always wise to prioritize quality and expertise. Our doctor, with a high patient satisfaction rate, a successful team, and advanced technologies, is your trusted choice for this procedure.
The recovery period after a temporal lift surgery usually takes between 1 and 2 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort may be experienced in the first few days, but these symptoms gradually decrease. It is important for patients to rest and avoid strenuous physical activities during the first week. Complete healing of the tissues in the temple area and return to normal appearance may take 4 to 6 weeks.
To speed up recovery, it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. For example, sleeping with your head elevated, protecting the area from trauma, and avoiding sun exposure can help accelerate healing. Additionally, cold compresses may be recommended to reduce swelling and edema after surgery.
In temporal lift surgery, incisions are usually hidden within the hairline, making the scars unnoticeable from the outside. Surgeons use fine and strategic incisions to avoid visible scarring. Although the scars may be prominent immediately after surgery, they become thinner over time and blend with the skin. This healing process typically takes several months.
The patient's skin type is an important factor that affects the healing of scars. Additionally, the surgeon’s technique and the patient’s post-operative care play a role in minimizing scar visibility. To support the healing process, your doctor may recommend special ointments and skin care products. Since the area may become sensitive to sunlight, it is advised to use a high-SPF sunscreen. In summary, thanks to modern techniques used today, scars after a temporal lift procedure are becoming increasingly less noticeable.
A temporal lift is typically recommended for individuals who have noticeable sagging and wrinkles in the temple area. Loss of skin elasticity and the effects of gravity can cause deformations in this region, resulting in a more tired and aged facial appearance. Temporal lifting is often preferred by individuals over the age of 35, when signs of aging become more apparent.
However, due to genetic predisposition, such issues may also appear at earlier ages, and temporal lift surgery may be a solution. Sagging around the eyes, low-set eyebrows, and wrinkles are factors that increase the necessity for this procedure. The surgery is performed to enhance aesthetic appearance and give the person a more energetic facial expression. However, the final decision should be made based on the aesthetic surgeon’s examination and evaluation.
When forehead and temporal lift surgeries are planned together, the operation usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours. The duration may vary depending on the techniques used, the patient’s facial anatomy, and any accompanying procedures. If the procedure is performed using the endoscopic method, it may take a bit less time, as this technique is minimally invasive and also speeds up recovery.
When applied alone, the temporal lift takes a shorter time. When combined with a forehead lift, the process is practical and controlled since it involves the same surgical area. Depending on the surgeon’s experience and technique, the duration of the operation can be managed more efficiently. In such surgeries performed under local anesthesia, a patient-centered approach prioritizing comfort is adopted.
The results of a temporal lift surgery are long-lasting, but they cannot be guaranteed to last a lifetime. Due to the natural aging process and external factors, skin elasticity may decrease over time. The effects of a temporal lift typically last around 7 to 10 years. This duration may vary depending on the individual’s genetic makeup, lifestyle habits, and post-operative care.
The youthful appearance achieved through the surgery improves facial contours and gives the person a more dynamic expression. To maintain results longer, it is important to adopt a healthy lifestyle, follow a regular skincare routine, and protect against sun damage. If necessary, aesthetic appearance can be supported with additional procedures in the future. Therefore, temporal lifting is considered an effective solution for reducing visible signs of aging and ensuring long-term satisfaction.
