Temporal Lifting — is a procedure aimed at rejuvenating the upper part of the face, correcting and restoring its contours, with an emphasis on the temple area. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and sagging appear, which affects the overall appearance of the face. Temporal lifting helps restore freshness and harmony to the face, and this method is less invasive, providing natural results.
What is Temporal Lifting?
Temporal lifting — is a surgical or minimally invasive procedure designed to lift the skin and muscles in the temple area and upper part of the face. The main goal is to eliminate sagging tissues, as well as correct the loss of clarity in the face's oval, which can occur with age. The feature of temporal lifting is its impact on the upper part of the face, helping to improve not only the appearance of the temples but also the area around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks.
When is Temporal Lifting Recommended?
The procedure may be recommended in the following cases:
- Loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin in the temple area.
- Sagging skin on the upper eyelids and forehead wrinkles.
- Sagging tissues around the eyes, giving the face a tired appearance.
- Loss of clarity in the eyebrow line.
- Wrinkles and age-related changes in the temporal area.
- Deep folds or "crow's feet" around the eyes.
Types of Temporal Lifting
There are several techniques of temporal lifting, depending on the patient's condition and desired result:
1. Surgical Temporal Lifting
The classic method, where a small incision is made in the temple area through which the muscles are lifted, and excess skin is removed. This method is ideal for significant age-related changes and provides long-lasting results.
2. Endoscopic Temporal Lifting
Endoscopy — a less invasive method where an endoscope is used to lift the tissues, reducing the size of the incisions. This procedure is suitable for patients with moderate signs of aging, requiring moderate correction.
3. Thread Lifting
A minimally invasive procedure where special threads are inserted under the skin to lift the tissues. This method is ideal for eliminating early signs of aging and is suitable for those not ready for a full surgical operation.
4. Ultrasound and Laser Lifting
Modern technologies, such as ultrasound and laser, target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving tissue elasticity. These methods are suitable for preventing aging and light correction.
How Does Temporal Lifting Work?
The procedure begins with a consultation with a plastic surgeon who assesses the condition of the skin and selects the optimal technique. The surgeon also creates an individualized surgical plan depending on the patient's characteristics.
Steps of temporal lifting:
- Anesthesia: Depending on the method, local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used.
- Incisions: For surgical lifting, incisions are made in the temple area or behind the ears. The endoscopic method requires less noticeable incisions.
- Lift of tissues: Muscles are lifted, excess skin is removed, and in some cases, liposuction is used to improve contours.
- Completion of surgery: Stitches are applied, and the patient receives a special bandage to minimize swelling.
Recovery After Temporal Lifting
The recovery period depends on the chosen technique, but in general, it is quite fast. After the procedure, it is important to follow these recommendations:
- Wear a compression bandage to reduce swelling.
- Avoid physical activity during the first weeks.
- Do not expose the skin to direct sunlight.
- Follow all skin care instructions from the doctor.
Swelling and bruising subside after 1–2 weeks, and the final results become visible after 1–3 months.
