What is a lateral temple brow lift?

Many people get a drooping of the lateral brow as they age.  A temporal brow lift is a surgery to elevate just the outer part of the brow.  This helps to decrease the amount of excess skin in the lateral upper lid, and can help with the crow's feet.  This is a good surgery for people who don't need or don't want a full forehead lift.    

A lateral temple brow lift involves elevating the brow through an excision of hair bearing skin above the ear. It rarely has long lasting effects when performed without a facelift. An endoscopic brow lift may be a better option for you after a coronal brow lift. 

  A lateral temporal browlift involves removal of hairbearing skin  in the scalp in the temporal area in order to lift the eyebrows.  In our practice, we rarely perform this procedure due to the fact that it raises the hairline  unnecessarily.    A revision upper blepharoplasty procedure can accomplish removal of the lateral hooding on the upper eyelids.   For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below
