A Subtle, Lateral Lift for a Refreshed Look

Temporal Brow Lift

What Is a Temporal Brow Lift?

A temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral brow lift, is a minimally invasive procedure that focuses on lifting the outer portion of the brow to enhance the arch and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.


This technique smooths the outer forehead and opens up the eye area while maintaining a natural look. It’s an excellent option for patients seeking subtle results with less downtime compared to a full brow lift.

Who Is a Candidate for a Temporal Brow Lift?

You might be a good candidate for a temporal brow lift if you have:


  • Drooping of the outer brow that creates a heavy or tired appearance.
  • Fine lines or sagging around the outer corners of the eyes.
  • A desire for subtle lifting and enhancement without extensive surgery.

This procedure is particularly popular among individuals looking to gently rejuvenate their look while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.

How Is a Temporal Brow Lift Performed?

Temporal brow lift is performed through small incisions hidden within the hairline near the temples. The surgeon lifts and repositions the brow tissue, securing it in a higher, more youthful position. By focusing on the lateral brow, this procedure creates a soft, refreshed look without affecting the entire forehead. It’s often performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.

What Are the Benefits of a Temporal Brow Lift?

  • Natural results: Enhances the brow and eye area without a dramatic change.
  • Minimal scarring: Incisions are hidden within the hairline.
  • Quick recovery: Less invasive than traditional brow lifts.
  • Targeted improvement: Focuses on the lateral brow and outer eye area for subtle refinement.
