SMAS facelift Additional question: is it possible to achieve any lifting of the temple area, with a SMAS facelift? (Photo)

Thank you for an excellent question. Many patients are surprised to learn that a facelift is designed to improve the middle and lower portions of the face, but not the brow or forehead. I will often combine fat grafting to the temple areas to provide a more comprehensive outcome, and I believe you could benefit from this technique. The advantage of using a patient's fat as a facial filler is that it will last much longer than a synthetic dermal filler. Good luck!

 

A face lift is not really a 'full face' lift, it addresses the lower face.  If you have concerns about the temporal area, the facelift incision can be extended upward or a separate temporal area for a lateral brow lift may be beneficial

The typical SMAS facelift does not elevate the temporal area. You might consider filling the temples with fat or an HA filler. This may look more youthfull in the end that atually lifting it

good Luck

Facelift would not lift the area you are concerned with.  Fat grafting to the temple area might be a great option for you.  Good luck with your procedure!Dr. Konstantin

Smas lift does not lift the temple. Do NOT have an incision in front of your temple hairline as the scar cannot be covered. I need photos to give a better answer to your problem or an exam.
