What is Temporal Lift Surgery ?
Temporal Lift Surgery focuses on lifting the outer portion of the eyebrows and temple area, where aging often causes drooping and heaviness. Unlike a full brow lift, this procedure targets only the lateral brow and temples, making it a more localized and subtle upper-face lifting option.

Upper-face and brow assessment
Surgical planning focused on the temple region
Small incisions hidden within the hairline
Elevation and repositioning of temple tissues
Secure fixation and careful closure
