Temporal lifting

Temporal lifting is a plastic surgery procedure intended to lift the middle third of the face, in particular the temporal area and eyebrows. This surgery helps to lift the eyebrow tails, tighten the middle third of the face, reduce wrinkles around the eyes, and improve the overall facial expression, giving a younger and fresher appearance. Yurchenko Team doctors perform such surgeries regularly, turning back the clock and rejuvenating patients by 5–10 years.

Popularity of the surgery

Temporal lifting is gaining popularity among patients seeking facial rejuvenation without making radical changes. It is a relatively simple surgery with a quick recovery period, which attracts many people.

Indications

The main indications for temporal lifting include:

• lowering of the outer corners of the eyebrows;
• wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes (“crow’s feet”);
• loss of volume in the middle third of the face;
• age-related changes in the temporal area (loss of turgor, elasticity).

Expected result and its duration

Patients who choose a temporal lifting can expect the following results:

• lifting the outer corners of the eyebrows, which immediately “opens the gaze”;
• smoothing wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes;
• improved facial contour in the middle third;
• younger and fresher appearance.

Results of temporal lifting can last from 5 to 10 years, depending on the individual characteristics of the tissues and the patient’s lifestyle. Yurchenko Team doctors emphasize that temporal lifting can be combined with such surgeries as brow lifting, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, facelifting with Aptos surgical threads, or other plastic surgeries on the body. The combination of operations allows solving the issues of facial aging comprehensively and achieve optimal results.

Contraindications

Although temporal lifting is a simple surgery, this procedure has certain contraindications, including:

• acute infectious diseases;
• blood diseases and clotting disorders;
• mental disorders;
• oncological diseases;
• exacerbations of chronic diseases.

Before the surgery, it is necessary to undergo a full medical examination to exclude possible risks.

Preparation for the surgery

Preparation for temporal lifting involves several stages. Everything starts with a consultation with a plastic surgeon, discussing expectations and possible results. At this visit, which can take place online or offline, Yurchenko Team doctors assess the patient’s skin condition, and discuss the course of the surgery and the nuances of rehabilitation.

The next step is examination. Patient should undergo complete blood count, urine test, biochemical analysis (ALT, AST, urea, creatinine, total protein, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, glucose), coagulation panel, WR, HBsAg, HCV, HIV, Blood group and Rh factor, ECG, X-ray (performed not more than a year ago), and an appointment with a general practitioner and anesthesiologist.

Surgery steps

Temporal lifting surgery usually lasts up to 1 hour and includes the following steps:

1. Anesthesia is administered to the patient.
2. Surgeon makes small incisions in the scalp of the temples.
3. Tissues are tightened and fixed in a new position.
4. Cosmetic sutures are applied to the incision.

Postoperative recovery

Recovery after a temporal lifting usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. A postoperative recovery period is required.

To prevent inflammation, the sutures should not be wet, but should be treated once a day with a chlorhexidine solution. Additionally, the patient wears a compression bandage for 14 days. This is a mandatory requirement, which is the key to successful tissue regeneration.
On the Day 14, the doctor removes the sutures, and the patient enjoys the results of the surgery. After that, you can use skincare and apply makeup.

Complications after temporal lifting, causes of their occurrence and how to fix them

Although temporal lifting is a simple surgery, certain complications are possible.

• Infections: can occur due to non-compliance with hygiene standards during surgery or during the recovery period. Treatment includes taking antibiotics and careful care of the sutures.
• Hematomas: accumulation of blood under the skin that may require additional surgical intervention.
• Temporary loss of sensation can cause temporary or permanent numbness or weakness of the facial muscles. In some cases, additional treatment is required.
• Scars: improper healing of sutures can lead to the formation of visible scars. Using special creams and massage will help reduce their manifestations.

It is important to follow all of your doctor’s recommendations and carefully monitor your health during recovery to minimize the risk of complications and achieve the best results.
