Temporal Lift

The temporal lift, also called the brow tail lift, mannequin lift or mannequin clip. It is a surgical technique that corrects eyebrow heaviness and their ptosis in the middle and outer parts.

The Temporal Lift, performed by a specialist cosmetic surgeon, is a safe surgery producing natural results. The specialist surgeon will work meticulously on your facial contour. Dr Weiss, specialist in facial cosmetic surgery in Paris (Hauts-de-Seine), invites you to discover the answers to the main questions about the Temporal Lift.

If skin laxity in the upper part of the face is beginning to bother you.

Ptosed eyebrows cause accentuated forehead wrinkles, as we tend to raise our eyebrows by wrinkling the forehead to clear the field of vision.

Makeup has become difficult on the upper eyelid where the eyebrows rest upon it.

Drooping eyebrows give a sad, tired and heavy appearance. Previous blepharoplasties have not achieved the desired result.

The temporal lift opens the gaze, re-tightens the upper eyelid, lifts the brow tails and smooths crow's feet wrinkles.

A well-performed temporal lift creates a harmonious eyebrow curve suited to your face.

Most frequently, the procedure is performed around age 40.

The procedure is rarely performed in isolation. It is most often combined with blepharoplasty or a cervico-facial facelift.

The procedure lasts between one and one and a half hours; when using endoscopy, the duration extends significantly to approximately 2.5 hours.

Unlike the pure mannequin clip technique which only tightens excess skin in the hairline with transient results, the temporal lift achieves a much more lasting, even permanent result.

The lift is stable over time as its action is based on re-tensioning of deep tissues and release of eyebrow adhesions on the periosteum.

Main steps:

• Intracapillary incision (in the hair),
• Dissection of the temporal fascia to the brow tail,
• Plication of the fronto-temporo-parietal fasciae (fasciopexy),
• Skin closure within the hair, the scar remains very inconspicuous.

Important:
Dr Weiss personally operates both sides using proven surgical techniques.

The main benefit of the temporal lift is opening the gaze and reshaping the eyebrows.

Surgical facelifts, unlike aesthetic medicine procedures, are stable. If the face is rejuvenated by 10 years, this rejuvenation remains for life.
