A temporal lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin around the temples to improve wrinkles and sagging around the eyes. It is especially effective for addressing the mid-cheek groove, also known as the diagonal line running from the under-eye area to the cheek. When combined with other facelift procedures, it can produce synergistic results.
Ideal for anyone who feels they have…
- Overall facial laxity
- Sagging cheeks
- Drooping around the eyes
- Nasolabial-fold laxity
- Mid-cheek groove
Procedure Details
