FAQS About Temporal Lift

What is temporal Lift?
A temporal lifting is ideal for people who are noticing the first signs of ageing around the eyes. It helps to eliminate the tired look of the eyes without having to undergo major surgery. This procedure reduces crows feet lines, firms the outer area of the eye and lightens the hooding of the outer eyelid.

 What happen during surgery?
 The surgeon makes a small incision in the hairline above the temple (hence the name 'temporal lift'), restores the brows to their natural position and elevates the temporal tissues.
The incisions are small and hidden within the hair.
It can either be performed endoscopically or using an incision above the above the upper ear pole, horizontally up to 4 cm. The operation lasts about 60 minutes.

What will I expect after surgery?
 After a temporal lift facial dressings are used to reduce swelling and bruising. They are removed the following day. Some swelling may occur for 3-4 days. Sutures are removed after 10 days. 

What are the risks and Complications?
 The risks of temporal lifting include the general risks of any surgeries; including infection, bleeding or anesthesia complications. The injury of the facial nerve that is branching approximately 1.5 cm away from the eye corner in rare instances may result in the inability of opening of the eyelid completely. Developing seroma or hematoma disappears within three to six months.
