Temporal Brow Lift Surgery - Cosmetic Surgery Guide


Cosmetic Surgery Enquiry

A traditional brow lift surgery can completely redefine how your brow and forehead are shaped, and while this is exactly what some people are looking for, others want a smaller adjustment to get a certain look or rejuvenate their face in a more natural manner. Temporal surgery is more widely known as the mini face lift, or the weekend face lift, because it provides you with an opportunity to make a smaller adjustment to your brow quickly and effectively.

What is a temporal brow lift?

A temporal brow lift surgery is so named because your surgeon will achieve his or her aim of adjusting the appearance of your brow by tightening muscles around your temple and lifting or removing skin from that area. This pulls the ends of your eyebrows up, and can do wonders despite its simplicity compared to other methods. A temporal brow lift surgery will often make use of endoscope technology, where a very thin optic tube with a camera and other precision instruments are manoeuvred via a small incision to perform the surgery. The recovery and procedure time are extremely short for the procedure, and coupled with the success of this type of surgery, make temporal brow lift surgery extremely attractive.

Is a temporal brow lift for me?

If you are hoping to adjust the appearance of your brows from the side, then the temporal method might be the one for you. Because the work is done in and around the temple, it is the skin to the sides of your eyes that will be lifted and smoothed, leaving your eyes looking younger and fresher than before. Your suitability for any plastic surgery always comes down to your general health and how well you will be able to cope with the pressures of surgery. While the temporal procedure is very straightforward, and if done through an endoscope not very invasive, there are risks to any surgery and you need to be healthy to undergo an elective procedure. Your surgeon will make sure that you are physically and mentally suitable for the procedure, and if he or she also suggests that the temporal brow lift is the best way to give you the appearance you want, then this is probably the route for you.

Pros and cons of temporal brow lift surgery

The major benefits of temporal brow lift surgeries are in its convenience and the easy delivery of the procedure over an outpatient's appointment. The procedure's quick recovery time is also a huge benefit, and means that you can be back to your normal routine in no time, albeit with a renewed appearance.

The downsides to this type of surgery are simply that it is a bit limited in terms of what can be achieved. Because your surgeon works on the area around the temple, the eyebrows are lifted from one end, often giving an exotic patient with some people might not be looking for.
