TEMPORAL LIFT
Lift sagging and drooping around the temples
For a youthful and bright-eyed look
- Lift sagging skin at the outer corners of the eyes, eyebrows, and upper eyelids
- To make the incision near the hairline, ensuring a natural finish with minimal scar visibility.
- It can also be expected to lift sagging and drooping in the mid-face area.
Pursuing high durability and a natural, beautiful finish
Temporal lift surgery involves surgically lifting the skin and underlying tissues, so the surgeon's skill and experience significantly impact the outcome.
Particularly, the area near the zygomatic arch, located immediately beside the temples, is characterized by the passage of the facial nerve and a dense concentration of important tissues such as facial muscles and blood vessels. Therefore, careful treatment based on anatomical knowledge and experience is required.
At BIANCA CLINIC, procedures are performed by physicians with extensive case experience and a deep understanding of anatomy. We assess each patient's skeletal and muscular structure while also considering the overall balance and harmony of the face to propose natural and beautiful designs.
Additionally, our clinic employs techniques that target not only the skin's surface but also the SMAS layer, the root cause of sagging. We are also committed to ensuring the longevity of the lifting effect.
We strive to provide meticulous treatments tailored to each individual, ensuring not only beautiful results but also minimizing discomfort during the procedure and post-treatment tightness or discomfort.

CHARACTERISTICSTemple Lift
A temple lift is a rejuvenating procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin around the temples (temporal region) by making incisions, removing excess skin, and pulling it upward. As we age, the skin's supportive components like collagen and elastin diminish, causing a loss of elasticity and making sagging more likely. This applies to the eye area as well; over time, the outer corners of the eyebrows and eyes droop, creating a heavy appearance.
The temple lift lifts these sagging areas, refining the eyelid and brow lines to create a refreshed, bright impression around the entire eye area. It is ideal for concerns such as upper eyelid sagging, drooping brows, and fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes, and is chosen by those seeking a natural, youthful look around the eyes.
Target areas where scars are less noticeable
The temple lift involves making incisions in areas naturally concealed by hair, such as the inner hairline or hairline itself. This results in a characteristic feature where postoperative scars are less noticeable. Since hairline shape, hair volume, and hair flow vary from person to person, the most natural-looking incision location is carefully determined and selected for each patient. Furthermore, by finishing the incision line and suture line in a zigzag pattern rather than straight, the scars become even less conspicuous.
Another key point is that the incision area is generally small, typically around 4 to 6 cm. Suture removal is typically performed about one week after surgery. The fact that the results are discreet and have minimal impact on daily life is another appealing aspect of the temple lift.
For those concerned not only about the eye area but also nasolabial folds and marionette lines
The temple lift is a procedure that addresses not only sagging around the eyes but also concerns in the midface area, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. These signs of aging are primarily caused by the weakening of facial muscles and orbicularis oculi muscles with age, along with a decrease in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. They are one factor contributing to an overall aged appearance.
The temple lift elevates the cheeks by diagonally lifting skin and tissue from the temple area upwards, creating a higher cheek position and a youthful contour. It also offers a volume-reducing effect on the cheeks, resulting in a more defined mid-face appearance. It is chosen not only for addressing current concerns about sagging but also as a preventive measure against future sagging, with some considering it a proactive investment in beauty.
Benefits
MERITLong-term effects can be expected to persist
By firmly securing the fascia and skin, long-lasting effects can be expected.
Makeup may be applied starting the day after suture removal.
Sutures are typically removed around one week after surgery, and makeup can be applied starting the following day. Even if some swelling or bruising remains, it can be covered with foundation or concealer.
Reduce anxiety about pain through the use of anesthesia
Temple lift procedures are generally performed under anesthesia. At our clinic, we use local anesthesia, but we can also discuss sedation or intravenous anesthesia upon request.
Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSPost-Temple Lift Procedure Progress
After surgery, you will rest at the clinic until the effects of anesthesia subside. If there are no issues, you may return home the same day. Downtime varies by individual, but swelling, pain, and warmth typically peak within 3 days post-surgery. Swelling generally subsides in about a week, and bruising typically resolves around 10 days.
Immediately after surgery, the eye area may appear slightly lifted temporarily, but it will gradually blend into a natural expression over time. Additionally, since this procedure involves making an incision in the temple area to lift the skin, some patients may experience a tight feeling post-operatively. This typically subsides within 1 to 3 months. Sutures are usually removed approximately one week after surgery. Makeup can be applied starting the day after suture removal. During the downtime period, daily life is rarely significantly disrupted, making this a procedure that generally allows for a relatively smooth recovery.
How to Spend Your Time After Surgery to Minimize Downtime
The estimated downtime period for a temple lift is approximately 1 to 2 weeks. However, depending on how you spend your time after the procedure, the recovery period may be prolonged. Therefore, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions.
After your procedure, please rest for several days and avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area. Showering may resume the following day, but washing your face and hair should wait until the gauze dressing is removed. Bathing is permitted the day after suture removal. Additionally, please refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, or any activities that promote blood circulation for about one week, as these may worsen swelling or pain. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided for approximately one month.
By correctly following post-operative instructions and diligently practicing proper aftercare, you can expect a smoother recovery and a more natural result.
The Difference Between Temporal Lifts and Brow Lift Surgery and How to Choose
Temporal lifts and brow lifts both address upper eyelid sagging, but they differ in procedure and how results manifest. The temple lift involves making an incision and removing skin in the temple area to lift it, aiming to create a refreshed, youthful appearance around the entire eye area. Its appeal lies in the fact that it does not directly involve the eye area, resulting in less noticeable scarring and a more natural-looking outcome. It is also said to offer lifting effects for the cheeks and midface.
On the other hand, brow lift surgery is a procedure that removes excess skin beneath the eyebrows. It is suitable for individuals seeking to reduce sagging or heaviness in the upper eyelids, or those wishing to naturally widen their double eyelid crease. However, since brow lift surgery can sometimes cause the eyebrows to appear lower in some individuals, careful assessment of suitability is crucial.
Both methods can achieve a natural-looking result, but the most suitable treatment varies depending on skin thickness, degree of sagging, and the desired outcome. At our clinic, our doctors conduct thorough consultations and recommend treatments tailored to each individual.

Frequently Asked Questions About Temporal Lift
Q&AWhen can I start wearing makeup after a temple lift?
You may apply makeup starting the day after your stitches are removed.
Is there any pain during the surgery?
Our clinic prioritizes pain management during procedures and uses anesthesia. For patients concerned about pain, we offer both local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. When combined with other procedures like facelifts, general anesthesia may be used. Post-operatively, we prescribe pain medication and antibiotics, and administer suppositories when necessary.
When will the stitches be removed?
Sutures are typically removed approximately one week after surgery.
When can I start exercising after surgery?
Please refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, or any activities that promote blood circulation for about one week after surgery, as they may increase the risk of side effects such as pain or swelling.
How long is the downtime for a temple lift?
Individual results may vary, but the typical downtime period for a temple lift is usually about 1 to 2 weeks. After the procedure, you may experience pain, swelling, or bruising, but these symptoms will subside over time. If symptoms persist, please contact our clinic promptly for an examination.
Can a temple lift improve droopy eyes?
Yes, the temple lift is a procedure that lifts sagging skin around the outer corners of the eyes and the eye area, and it is also considered effective for droopy eyes. If you have droopy eyes due to sagging in the temples or outer corners of the eyes, please feel free to consult with us.
How long will the tightness after surgery last?
Temporal lift surgery involves making an incision in the skin of the temple area and lifting it. Some patients may experience a tight feeling after the procedure, but this gradually subsides over approximately one month, or up to three months in longer cases.
How long do the effects of a temple lift last?
The effects of a temple lift vary from person to person, but generally last for several years, and in some cases, up to about 10 years. Because the fascia and skin are firmly secured, the effects can be expected to last for an extended period.
Are there any recommended treatments that can be combined with a temple lift?
The temple lift is a procedure that addresses not only the eye area but also sagging in the midface. For individuals with significant cheek sagging or those seeking more pronounced results, it can be combined with a facelift. This approach allows for treatment of a broader area of sagging compared to a temple lift alone, leading to a more satisfying outcome.
