What is a temporal brow lift? What does it do and what is the average cost?

Question

I have seen some before and after pictures from Turkey of Temporal Brow Lift that look amazing. I have not found any information on Real Self. Can you tell me exactly what this procedure is, what it does, and the average cost? Other than the eyelid, does it help wrinkles around the eye? What does it do for the brow?

Thank you for posting your question. Brow lift procedures generally elevate the brow line to make the eyes appear more awake while decreasing wrinkles above the nose. With a temporal brow lift, the skin near the temples on the sides of the brow is elevated to provide the desired aesthetic result. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your cosmetic goals and help you decide on the best approach to help you achieve them.

A temporal brow lift raises the lateral part of the brow into an aesthetically pleasing shape and position without raising the inner part. It is becoming very popular in my practice. The scar is along the hairline, extending into the temple area.

Hi there! A temporal brow lift is a procedure which helps to elevate the lateral - or sides - of the eye brow. By doing so, the brow can be positioned to a more youthful, higher position. Added benefits include improvement of the hanging skin on the sides of the upper eyelids referred to as "hooding". Most often, an incision is made within the temporal hair, the brow repositioned with sutures or tacks under the skin, and the excess skin removed. Wrinkling around the eyes can soften though not be completely eliminated. The longevity can vary but past 10 years with solid results. The cost can vary anywhere from $5,000 to above $7,500 depending on complexity and area in the US. Hope that information helps.
