Temple lift to pull eyes/eyebrows outward and up. Not full blown eyelid surgery. Please help with options.

HolidayTOct 11, 2015
I posted a question about this the other day but most of the responses were referring to eyelid surgery. I am not looking for traditional eyelid surgery. I am interested in information pertaining to delicately pulling (temple lift), or a small incision only on the outer corner to lengthen the eyes. I like my eyelids. I only want to visually adjust the length and possibly pull outer angle up a bit. My eyebrow tends to sit a little low. Temple lift seems like it might work.

The postoperative management including choice of bandages and dressings will be based on each surgeon's preference. In general, there are usually bandages for the first 24-48 hours to absorb any fluid from the early incisions.
