Temporal aesthetics is a surgical procedure that tightens the upper facial tissues that have loosened with age, providing a younger and more dynamic appearance. It particularly corrects the tired expression caused by the downward drooping of the outer edges of the eyebrows. The procedure is performed through small incisions made within the hairline, leaving no visible scars and preserving facial expressions. The result is a naturally refreshed, upward-lifted, and brighter upper face contour.
Highly popular in the field of aesthetic surgery, a temporal lift is a procedure aimed at eliminating signs of aging. Over the years, the skin loses its elasticity, and with the influence of environmental factors, sagging occurs in the facial area. Focusing on the temple region, a temporal lift helps to correct sagging and lift the outer edges of the eyebrows, resulting in a younger and more dynamic facial appearance. By addressing issues caused by aging or genetic factors, a temporal lift provides a visible and impressive enhancement in aesthetic appearance.
The results of a temporal lift are not limited to physical changes. It also adds a sense of freshness and vitality to the facial expression, positively impacting self-confidence. Today, both men and women prefer temporal lift procedures to achieve a younger look while preserving their natural appearance.
A temporal lift is an effective procedure offering both aesthetic and practical benefits. Though it primarily targets sagging around the temples, it provides several additional advantages:

A temporal lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing signs of facial aging and creating a more youthful appearance. Depending on the surgeon’s expertise and the patient’s needs, it may be performed using traditional or endoscopic techniques. Nowadays, the endoscopic method—being minimally invasive—is most preferred. It involves smaller incisions and typically allows for a shorter recovery time with minimal scarring.
Before surgery, the patient’s overall health is thoroughly assessed to identify and mitigate potential risks. The surgeon reviews the patient’s medical history and conducts necessary tests, such as blood work and allergy screenings. Detailed discussions are held regarding the patient’s expectations and surgical goals.
The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s recommendation. During the surgery, small incisions are made within the hairline. The skin and underlying tissues are carefully lifted through these incisions. The outer parts of the eyebrows and temple area are repositioned aesthetically and secured in place. Special instruments used in endoscopic surgery allow for precise control, ensuring a symmetrical and balanced result.
Excess tissues are removed, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures. The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours. Thanks to the minimal scarring associated with the endoscopic approach, patients can return to social life more quickly and experience less postoperative discomfort.
A temporal lift is suitable for many individuals experiencing signs of aging. However, the surgeon must thoroughly evaluate the patient for optimal outcomes. Ideal candidates typically:
Proper pre-operative preparation is crucial for a successful temporal lift. Key points include:
The cost of a temporal lift varies depending on the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and the extent of the procedure. Since every individual has unique needs, it’s not possible to provide a standard price.
Our expert team combines advanced technology and extensive experience to deliver customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s aesthetic goals. If you’re looking to achieve a more youthful and dynamic appearance, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
A temporal lift surgery typically takes between 1 to 2 hours. The technique used can affect this duration. Endoscopic methods may be completed in a shorter time. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions within the hairline. Through these incisions, the tissues in the temple and surrounding areas are lifted and fixed in the desired position. The preparation phase and the application of anesthesia are included in this timeframe. In surgeries performed by our specialist doctor, both patient comfort and aesthetic outcomes are prioritized.
The recovery period after a temporal lift usually lasts between 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling and bruising may be observed during the first few days post-operation, which are natural signs of the healing process. It is important to avoid strenuous activities at the beginning of the recovery phase. Stitches are typically removed within 5-7 days. During this time, the incision areas also begin to heal. Complete recovery may take several weeks to several months depending on the individual's skin structure and the technique used. A personalized care plan is provided for our patients to ensure a fast and comfortable recovery.
Most patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days after a temporal lift. For jobs that do not require physical effort, such as office work, this period is usually sufficient. In cases where bruising and swelling have not completely subsided, they can often be concealed with light makeup. For those in physically demanding jobs, a recovery period of 2 weeks is recommended. Our expert team provides follow-up care and guidance throughout the recovery process, helping patients quickly return to their natural appearance.
A temporal lift is particularly effective in the temples, the outer parts of the eyebrows, and the areas around the eyes. It eliminates sagging, tightens the skin, and repositions the outer edges of the eyebrows upward. This restores a dynamic and refreshed appearance around the eyes. Additionally, the procedure may have an indirect effect on the forehead, helping to reduce wrinkles in that area. Thanks to advanced techniques applied by our experienced and specialized team, a balanced appearance in harmony with the overall facial aesthetics is achieved.
A temporal lift and a facelift target different areas. A temporal lift focuses on correcting sagging in the outer eyebrows, temples, and eye area. A facelift, on the other hand, comprehensively addresses issues in the jawline, cheeks, and neck. While a temporal lift provides a more localized intervention, a facelift offers a broader rejuvenation effect across the entire face. A temporal lift is generally less invasive and has a shorter recovery period. When deemed necessary for the patient, both procedures can be combined to achieve more comprehensive results. We evaluate each patient’s needs and expectations individually to provide the most suitable solutions.
