How is a Temporal Brow Lift Different from Other Lift Methods?

Temporal Brow Lifts, often called Lateral Brow Lifts, are limited dissection Brow Lifts for elevating the outer segment (lateral section) of the eyebrows. These lifts are less invasive but don't affer the lasting results that a full Coronal Brow Lift does, IMO.

Temporal brow lift vs other lifts

Temporal brow lifts are a limited lift for the outer third of the brows. They can be performed under local anesthesia. The incision for the temporal brow lift is not always as hidden as desirable

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift is a lift of the outer portion of the brow. It can be done in conjunction with an endoscopic brow lift or as stand alone procedure. In some patients, the lateral lift is all you need. There is less down time and patients really like the results. Good luck!

It is a limited procedure.

Hello, Temporal browlifts are small incision procedures that are used to lift the outside portion of the eyebrows to decrease the hooding that occurs above the outside area on the upper eyelid. It is a lower risk procedure than can often being combined with upper blepharoplasty (eyelid tuck) to optimize the look of the upper eye region. If a patient needs the central portion of the eyebrows, or the central and outside portion of the eyebrows lifted, then procedures such... more

Temporal brow lift

Temporal brow lift is used when people only need a lift in the lateral temporal area of the brows. This is not used for a medial brow elevation. A temporal lift is simply an excision of skin and cannot address any of the muscle function such as the corrugator and frontalis muscles and the glabellar frown lines.

Depends on who is performing the surgery, terminology is variable amongst surgeons

It depends on who is performing the surgery. Generally speaking, temporal brow lift only addresses drooping of the outer portion of the eyebrow (which is the most important region to be treated). The terminology is variable and not consistent amongst surgeons.

Temporal Brow Lift vs Other Lifts

The Temporal Brow Lift addresses the lateral brows, temporal areas and the lateral orbits (crow’s feet areas). In many people this is all that is needed. Additionally, with the new, more vertical facelifts, the temporal ares becomes crowded when the face is lifted and needs to be elevated also. This is basically the lateral part of a standard brow lift. If you have significant transverse lines in the forehead or significant lines between the eyebrows or descent of the entire eyebrow,... more

Temporal browlift versus other lifts

I personally prefer to do an endoscopic lift and undermine the area down past the zygomatic arch. This allows you to free the entire area and simply shift the brow back into it's original pre aging state. From this approach you may select the amount of lift deciding on the patients aesthetic needs.

Who is a candidate for a temporal lift?

When I evaluate the position of the brow, there are two basic things that I look for: the height of the brow in relation to the orbital rim and the shape of the brow. These two factors guide the selection of the best approach for a brow lift. In those patients where the medial brow is in good position but the lateral brow is flat to downsloping, the temporal lift is a great procedure to improve the aesthetics of the eye. A further benefit of the procedure is that it can... more

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift just addresses the outer one third position of your eyebrow. It is a wonderful procedure and often times I find the only lift most patients need is the outer one third of the brow. It gives the eye an elegant more open eyed look without the surprise component..
