What is the Difference Between a Brow Lift and Temple Lift?

Most brow-lifting procedures are surgeries that elevate the entire eyebrow. These can be performed with either a large external incision, or less invasively through small scalp incisions using endoscopes and instruments below your scalp and forehead.
I currently favor a temple-lift that leaves the middle of your eyebrow alone and elevates the tail of your eyebrows which are closest to your temples. Lifting the tail, and not the central eyebrow is rejuvenating, minimally invasive, and a more favorable procedure for forehead rejuvenation.
I hope this is helpful for you.

A brow lift generally involves lifting the entire brow, including the central portion, rather than just lifting the outer portion of the brow. In my practice, I often perform a temporal lift in conjunction with a cheek or neck lift in order to improve the upper cheek and temple area. Although this may also improve the lateral brow area, I do not consider this to be a brow lift on its own. A very similar procedure would be a temple lift or a temporal brow lift, which is designed to only lift the corners of the brow. This incision may be very similar to other brow lifting techniques and also similar to the temporal lift associated with the cheek/neck lift.Each procedure can be customized to the individual patient.All the best,

Facial aging can
have a significant impact upon the brow and forehead regions.  It’s not unusual to see a wide range of
anatomic variations in response to facial aging.  For these reasons, there are multiple surgical procedures
designed to elevate the brow.

Most browlift
procedures are designed to lift the entire brow in an upward direction.  This can be done with an open technique
which involves making an incision across the top of the head or an endoscopic
approach through small incisions.

A temple lift is
probably a lateral browlift.  This
procedure does not elevate the entire brow but instead only elevates the
lateral half of the brow.  The
technique involves making bilateral temperal incisions and raising the lateral
brow in an upward direction.

Browlift
procedures are selected based on the patient’s specific anatomic
deformity.  Both of these
procedures have a role in the correction of brow descent.  If you’re considering a browlift
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.  This surgeon should be able to help you
choose the browlift option that is best for you.
