What Is a Temporal Lift?

A temporal lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the outer brow and temple region. Over time, the skin in this area loses its elasticity, causing the brows to drop and the outer corners of the eyes to appear heavy or hooded.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes small, discreet incisions near the hairline. The surgeon then carefully repositions the underlying skin and tissue to restore a more lifted, open appearance. Because the surgeon places the incisions within the hairline, scarring remains minimal and is virtually invisible once healed.

The result is a natural-looking lift that makes you look more alert and rested, without dramatically changing your features.

Outer Brow Elevated
The outer brow and temple tissue is gently elevated and repositioned
Natural Contour Maintained
The surgeon carefully sutures the skin to maintain a natural contour
Hidden Incisions
The incisions sit within the hairline, keeping any scarring well hidden
Open Eye Area
The result is a more open, defined eye area with improved brow position

Treatment Approach

How Does a Temporal Lift Work?

The procedure works by lifting and repositioning the skin and deeper tissues in the temple and outer brow area.

Incision Placement
Tiny incisions are made at strategic locations along the hairline, giving the doctor easy access to the structures beneath the skin without leaving any visible scars.
Tissue Repositioning
The surgeon specifically designs the surgical procedure to rejuvenate the lateral one-third of the eyebrows, lifting and repositioning deeper tissues for a natural result.
Anaesthesia
The clinician typically uses local or twilight anaesthesia and performs the procedure as a day case, so you do not need an overnight hospital stay.
Recovery
Most patients are comfortable throughout and recover more quickly than with more extensive surgical alternatives.

The Temporal Lift Process

1
Consultation
Dr Tanov will assess your brow position, skin laxity, and facial anatomy. He will discuss your goals, explain what the procedure can realistically achieve, and outline the most suitable approach for your concerns.
2
Preparation
Before the procedure, the clinician cleans and prepares your skin and administers anaesthesia to keep you comfortable during the treatment.
3
Treatment
The surgeon makes small incisions at the planned positions. Dr Tanov then lifts and repositions the deeper tissue and skin of the outer brow and temple region, restoring a more elevated, natural-looking contour.
4
Refinement
The surgeon carefully places sutures to hold the new position and minimise tension on the skin. The focus always remains on achieving a balanced result that complements your natural features.
5
Aftercare
The clinician provides you with clear written aftercare instructions and arranges a follow-up appointment to check your healing and answer any questions you may have.

Potential Complications & Their Management

As with any aesthetic or surgical procedure, it is important to be aware of possible complications.

Swelling and Bruising

Common following surgery; managed with cold compresses, head elevation, and anti-inflammatory medication.

Dry or Irritated Eyes

Temporary dryness or itching may occur; relieved with lubricating drops and ointments.

Infection

Rare but possible; treated using antibiotics and appropriate wound care.

Vision Disturbance

Caused by swelling; likely to improve within days to weeks.

Scarring

Can be prevented with proper technique; revision or creams may help if scarring occurs.

Difficulty Closing the Eyes

Usually temporary; severe cases are rare and may require corrective treatment.

Bleeding or Haematoma

Requires prompt attention; drainage may occasionally be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a temporal lift last?+
The results are long-lasting and may continue for many years, depending on your skin quality, lifestyle, and natural ageing process. Whilst no surgical procedure can stop ageing entirely, a temporal lift provides long-lasting improvement that non-surgical treatments simply cannot replicate.
Will the scarring be visible?+
The incisions are placed carefully within the hairline, so scarring is minimal and well-hidden. Most patients find that once fully healed, the scars are virtually undetectable.
How long is the recovery time?+
Most patients take around one to two weeks off from work and social activities. Swelling and bruising are normal in the first week and settle gradually. Patients can usually resume light activities within a few days and generally drive from the third day.
Can a temporal lift be combined with other treatments?+
Yes, and it often is. Many patients combine a temporal lift with upper lid blepharoplasty, a brow lift, or dermal filler for a more comprehensive result. Dr Tanov will discuss the options most suited to your concerns during your consultation.
Is the procedure painful?+
The clinician performs the procedure under local or twilight anaesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during it. You may experience some discomfort, tightness, and swelling in the days following surgery, but appropriate aftercare and pain relief help manage these effects.
Is a temporal lift better than Botox for drooping brows?+
They address different degrees of the same concern. Botox can offer a subtle, temporary brow lift for those with mild drooping. A temporal lift is the better option for a more noticeable descent, providing a more significant and longer-lasting correction that injectables cannot achieve on their own.

Ready to Lift and Refresh Your Appearance?

If drooping brows or a heavier upper face are making you look older or more tired than you feel, a temporal lift could be the right step forward. Book a consultation with Dr Tanov to discuss your goals and find out exactly what this procedure can do for you.
