What is Temporal Lift Aesthetics? How is temple lift surgery performed?
İçindekiler
Cosmetic surgeons sometimes perform a temple lift as a stand-alone procedure and sometimes combine it with other surgeries such as a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and facelift.
A temple lift surgery can be performed with smaller incisions well hidden in the hairline, resulting in easier healing and minimal scarring.
What is the Temple Lift Procedure?
Cosmetic surgeons perform a temple lift using sedation or local anesthesia or on an outpatient basis under anesthesia.
First, a small incision is placed in the hairline above the ear. Through this incision, the underlying tissue is mobilized. And then it is suspended to lift the outside of the eyebrow and flatten the crow's feet.
He removes excess skin and closes the incision with small stitches.
What is Temple Lift Aesthetics?
A temple lift is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a relatively short time.
Immediately after the temporal lift, sutures are placed over the incisions and a light bandage is applied to the head for about 24 to 48 hours.
You will be given instructions on the care of your dressings when you are discharged from surgery. The bandage will usually be removed 24 - 48 hours after your surgery.
For the first week following temple lift surgery, you will need to sleep with 2-3 pillows to keep your head elevated. This helps to minimize swelling and bruising.
You may have bruising on your forehead and around your eyes. This usually disappears in seven to ten days, but may persist for six to eight weeks and black eyes are possible. This bruising and swelling can be camouflaged with special makeup.
Ice packs and pillow elevation are the best methods to reduce swelling and bruising, especially when applied in the first 24 to 48 hours.
Remember not to put the ice in direct contact with the skin, wrap it in a plastic bag and towel so that it provides a pleasant coolness rather than a bitter cold.
You may also prefer to use a damp hand towel in the refrigerator for a few minutes to cool it down. You will be asked to come to our rooms as an outpatient to be monitored after temple lift surgery.
This will also ensure that any problems you may have are resolved. Stitches will be removed between the tenth and fourteenth day.
For Whom is Temple Lift Surgery Suitable?
- Those who do not need a full brow lift and only want the tip of the eyebrow to be pulled.
- Those who have deep lines at the tip of the eyebrow and on both sides of the eye and tend to reduce the visible effects of aging on the face.
- Those with drooping eyebrows and sagging skin due to hereditary or aging.
A temple lift is recommended for those who have drooping eyebrows or “hooded” eyelids that result in a sad or worried expression due to the natural aging process, but are satisfied with the rest of their forehead.
In fact, a sagging temple is a much more common sign of aging than a sagging brow, making a temple lift an ideal procedure for most people seeking minimally invasive facial rejuvenation.
For example, if you are already using Botox to revitalize your forehead and brow area, you may only need to lift the outer corners of your brow for a significantly more youthful appearance.
There are several types of surgical temple lifts,
- Skin lifting only: Applied for less saggy patients.
- SMAS facelift (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System): In this method, the layers under the skin are stretched to provide a better and longer temple lift. In fact, in this surgery, the surface layer of the muscle is pulled under the skin.
- MACS lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension): In this method, the layers under the skin are stretched, the lifting result is more permanent, the skin condition and tension of the facial skin is more natural.
What is the Difference Between Temple Lift Surgery and Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a procedure used to correct forehead wrinkles, brow lines, frown lines, fissures between the eyebrows and drooping eyebrows by lifting the entire brow and forehead area.
In contrast, a temple lift is a much less invasive procedure that lifts only the outer corner or “tail” of the eyebrow located above the temple (lateral forehead).
It does not change the brow center or forehead area at all. It also has the effect of lifting the cheek tissues and helping to alleviate sagging around the eyes.
Depending on the features of your face, a brow lift can give the eyes a more open and youthful look without looking like you have “had a plastic surgery”.
A temple lift is a subtle but powerful procedure that brightens the eyes and gives the eyebrows an elegant and youthful shape.
How is a Temple Lift Performed?
A temple lift involves making a two-sided temporary incision in the hair above the ear so that the scar is almost invisible.
The underlying tissue is then lifted up, tightened, and any “crow's feet” lines emerging from the corners of the eyes are also smoothed and softened. The skin is then tightened, any excess is trimmed away and the incision is sutured closed.
Are the Scars of Temple Lift Surgery Visible?
Your stitches are removed within 7-10 days after the procedure.
Since the temple lift stitches are completely hidden in the hair, you will be able to return to work before the stitches are removed.
Does Temple Lift Surgery Alone Give Successful Results?
A temple lift is a surgical operation to rejuvenate the face. The operation is highly effective and stretches not only the skin of the face but also the layers beneath it.
In its extended version, facial rejuvenation can be accompanied by correction of wrinkles in the neck area if necessary.
The temple lift, one of the most complex operations in aesthetic surgery, is performed under general anesthesia and takes 3 to 6 hours.
When is a Temple Lift Necessary?
In general, the age limit for a traditional temple lift is over 45 years for women and over 55 years for men.
Better results are achieved in patients with a small layer of subcutaneous fat in the facial area. A temple lift is considered a suitable procedure if there is more than 1 cm of skin on the face.
What Should and Should Not be Done Before Temple Lift Surgery?
Before the temple lift surgery, the necessary medical tests are performed; your consultation with the surgeon and your examination are completed.
You should stop taking aspirin and herbal teas, vitamins and blood thinners 10 days before surgery.
You should quit smoking 8 hours before the surgery and not take any liquids or food.
What are the Risks of Temple Lift Surgery?
There is a risk of damage to a branch of the facial nerve during the temporal lift operation, especially as a result of swelling or a peripheral lesion, but it disappears after the operation.
Infection is a postoperative risk. Postoperative scars are hardly noticeable because they are behind the ears or on the hairy parts of the head.
What Happens After Temple Lift Surgery?
The following may occur after temporal lift surgery:
- Temporary bluish color to the skin and swelling, numbness and pain.
- Swelling is at its peak 4-5 days after the operation and sometimes disappears earlier around day 10.
- The bluish color, if any, usually disappears within 10-12 days.
- Within 2 weeks you can return to work and daily activities.
