What Is A Temporal Lift?

A temporal brow lift (sometimes simply called a temporal lift) is a specialized plastic surgery that addresses the outer portion of your brow and forehead. While a traditional brow lift can target the entire forehead, a temporal lift focuses on lifting the outer brows and forehead area near the temples. This creates a more refreshed appearance and helps reduce the look of drooping or sagging skin, giving your upper face a smoother, younger contour.

People choose a temporal brow lift for several reasons. You might consider this procedure if you feel the outer edges of your brow are starting to sag, causing your eyes to look tired or heavy. Some patients also choose a temporal brow lift in combination with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery, to create an overall balanced result. If you’d like to address wrinkles or frown lines around your eyes without undergoing a full forehead lift, a temporal brow lift may be a good solution for you.

The Benefits Of A Temporal Brow Lift In Bellevue & Kirkland

Temporal lift surgery can bring multiple advantages that enhance both your appearance and confidence. Benefits of this procedure may include:

  • Subtle, Youthful Lift: A Targeted lifting of the outer brow can reduce sagging and create a naturally refreshed look.
  • Reduction In Crow’s Feet: By smoothing the forehead and subtly tightening the skin, you may notice fewer visible lines around your eyes.
  • Minimal Scarring: Because your surgeon will generally place the incisions within the hairline near your temples, scarring is usually well-concealed.
  • Natural-Looking Results: A temporal brow lift raises the outer brow without creating a permanently surprised facial expression.
  • Improved Facial Balance: Enhancing the brow area can help your features appear more balanced, especially when combined with other procedures.
  • Boost In Confidence: A younger-looking, brighter appearance can lead to an improvement in your sense of self-esteem.

Candidates For A Temporal Brow Lift

Before scheduling a temporal brow lift in Bellevue or Kirkland, it’s important to know if you’re a good candidate. While consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon is the best way to know for sure, here are a few signs you may be a candidate:

  • You Have Mild To Moderate Brow Sagging: If the outer areas of your brow droop, a temporal lift can help.
  • You’re In Good General Health: Like most elective surgeries, the procedure requires you to be healthy enough for anesthesia and recovery.
  • You Have Realistic Expectations: Understanding what temporal lifting can and cannot do for your appearance is crucial for overall satisfaction.
  • You’re Bothered By Crow’s Feet Or Forehead Lines: If wrinkles or creases near your temples are a concern, a temporal lift could benefit you.

Temporal Brow Lift Technique

Your Consultation

When you attend your initial consultation at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any surgical concerns with one of our knowledgeable, experienced surgeons. Because everyone’s anatomy and preferences are unique, your surgeon will evaluate your forehead, brows, and hairline to determine if a temporal brow lift is right for you. At this time, you can also explore whether you would benefit from combining your temporal brow lift with other procedures, such as an upper eyelid lift or facelift.

Temporal Brow Lift Surgery 

The temporal lift surgery typically uses small incisions that your surgeon will discreetly place near your hairline at the temples. Through these incisions, your surgeon can adjust the facial tissue and gently lift the outer portion of your brow. This elevates sagging skin around the eyes and can help smooth forehead lines. Because the incisions are concealed along the hairline, visible scarring should be minimal.

During surgery, you’ll receive either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your specific case and your surgeon’s recommendation. The procedure usually takes around one hour, though the exact time can vary if you’re combining it with other cosmetic surgeries.

Recovery 

Following a temporal brow lift, you may experience mild swelling and bruising around the forehead and eye area. Your surgeon may provide a specialized bandage or wrap to reduce swelling and help the tissues settle into their new position. Plan to take a few days to a week off from work or strenuous activities, depending on how quickly your body recovers.

During recovery, you’ll be instructed on how to care for your incisions and when to schedule follow-up visits. You should avoid heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or activities that put a strain on your surgical area for a couple of weeks.

Following these guidelines closely and keeping up with recommended follow-up appointments can help your temporal brow lift incisions heal well and create a smooth and natural final result.

What Are The Possible Risks Of Temporal Brow Lift Surgery?

While temporal lift surgery is generally safe, every surgical procedure carries potential risks. Possible risks of a temporal lift include:

  • Infection: Though rare, infections are possible if your incisions don’t receive proper care.
  • Scarring: Minor scarring is possible, but it is typically well-concealed within the hairline.
  • Nerve Injury: A slight risk of nerve damage that may temporarily affect sensation or muscle movement.
  • Bleeding Or Hematoma: Excess bleeding or bruising can happen, particularly if you have a bleeding disorder.
  • Anesthesia Complications: Any procedure involving anesthesia carries a small risk of complications.

Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon like those at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery and closely following your post-operative instructions can help minimize these risks.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who is a candidate?

    Patients with outer‑brow droop, lateral hooding, or crow’s feet who want a subtle, natural refresh. 

    Will it change my eye shape?

    The goal is gentle lateral elevation—not a “surprised” look. We customize vector and degree of lift. 

    Anesthesia and recovery?

    Often performed with local anesthesia plus sedation; most return to social activities in 7–10 days. 

    How long do results last?

    Many enjoy long‑lasting improvement; aging continues naturally. Skincare and sun protection help maintain results. 

    Can it be combined with eyelid surgery?

    Yes—upper blepharoplasty or Botox can complement the lift for a comprehensive result.

    Will A Temporal Brow Lift Change The Shape Of My Eyes?

    A temporal brow lift generally focuses on lifting the outer brow and forehead, so it might subtly improve the area around your eyes. However, the main goal isn’t to change your eye shape but to reduce sagging and wrinkles near your temples. 
    If you’re concerned about eyelid drooping or other specific eye-related issues, you could discuss combining the procedure with an eyelid lift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

    How Long Do Results Typically Last?

    You’ll likely enjoy the benefits of a temporal lift for several years. How long your results last will depend on factors like your natural aging process, genetics, and lifestyle choices (s sun exposure, smoking, and skincare). 

    While a temporal brow lift won’t stop aging altogether, it effectively rewinds the clock by repositioning and tightening the outer brow. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help extend the life of your results.

    Can I Combine A Temporal Brow Lift With Non-Surgical Treatments?

    Absolutely! Many patients choose to pair a temporal brow lift with non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, or laser skin resurfacing. Combining these surgical and non-surgical treatments can address fine lines, volume loss, and skin texture issues, enhancing your overall facial rejuvenation.

    At your consultation, discuss your cosmetic goals with your surgeon to create a comprehensive plan that delivers better overall results.

    Is A Temporal Lift Noticeable To Others?

    The goal of a temporal brow lift is to craft a natural, refreshed appearance without making your face look overdone. Because incisions are carefully placed near your hairline, scarring is usually well-hidden. While close friends or family might notice that you appear more rested or revitalized, they usually can’t pinpoint exactly what changed, making the results both effective and subtle.

    How Soon Can I Go Back To Work After Surgery?

    Recovery times can vary, but most people feel comfortable returning to work or daily activities within one to two weeks. You may experience mild swelling and bruising around your forehead and eyes, which typically subside over the course of a week. Your surgeon will provide personalized instructions on managing discomfort and caring for incisions, helping you get back to your routine as soon as possible.

    How long do temporal brow lift results last at your Bellevue clinic?

    Temporal brow lifts performed at our Bellevue and Kirkland offices typically last 7-10 years. The endoscopic technique
    we use creates strong tissue repositioning that resists gravity better than non-surgical alternatives, making it an
    excellent investment for patients in their 40s-60s.

    What’s the cost of temporal brow lift surgery in Kirkland?

    Temporal brow lift procedures at our Kirkland and Bellevue locations range from $4,500-6,500. When combined with upper
    eyelid surgery, packages start at $7,800. We offer consultations at both locations to provide personalized quotes.

    Can I combine temporal brow lift with other facial procedures?

    Absolutely. 70% of our Bellevue and Kirkland brow lift patients combine it with upper blepharoplasty for comprehensive
    upper face rejuvenation. Adding fat transfer to temples enhances results. Our surgeons expertly plan combinations for
    natural harmony.

    How is recovery for temporal brow lift in the Seattle area?

    Recovery is surprisingly comfortable. Most Bellevue, Kirkland, and Lynnwood patients return to remote work within 5-7
    days and full activities by 2 weeks. We use long-acting nerve blocks and provide detailed aftercare through our patient
    app.
