What is a temporal lift?

The temporal lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure targeting the temple area for a lifting and smoothing effect. Unlike a full brow lift, this technique acts locally to lift the eyebrows and reduce wrinkles around the eyes.

Advantages of a temporal lift :

  • Natural effect: Opening and rejuvenation of the eyes, without a rigid appearance.
  • Rapid results: Visible correction as soon as post-operative oedema is reduced.
  • Discreet scars: Placed in the hairline, they are virtually invisible.

Fast recovery: A light procedure with moderate post-operative effects.

Indications for a temporal facelift

The temporal lift is indicated to correct :

  • Sagging eyebrow tails.
  • Crow’s feet or lateral eye wrinkles.
  • Loss of tone in the upper face.
  • Tired or drooping eyes.

This procedure is ideal from the age of 35-40, depending on the signs of aging.

Procedure

1. Pre-operative consultation

During your consultation at our Antibes office, we’ll assess your facial morphology and expectations. We also welcome patients from Nice, Cannes and the surrounding area to propose a customized plan.

2. Anesthesia

The temporal lift is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the complexity of the procedure.

3. Procedure

  • Discreet incisions: These are made in the hairline near the temples.
  • Repositioning of tissues: The skin and underlying tissues are re-tensioned for a natural, lifted effect.
  • Duration: The procedure lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours.

4. Post-operative course

  • Moderate swelling and bruising for 5 to 10 days.
  • Resumption of social activities: approximately one week after surgery.
