Forehead and temple lift; restoring youth and freshness to the face
As time passes, many people notice changes in the upper part of their face, including drooping eyebrows, deep forehead wrinkles, and tired-looking eyes. A forehead and temple lift is an effective and advanced procedure for rejuvenating the upper part of the face that not only improves appearance but also boosts self-confidence.
Why is a forehead and temple lift performed?
A forehead and temple lift is designed to lift drooping eyebrows, smooth horizontal forehead lines, and reduce frown lines. It also helps lift the corners of the eyes, resulting in a more open, fresh, and youthful look. A temple lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with other surgeries, such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), a facelift, or Botox injections.

By making an incision along the hairline, the forehead skin is lifted and fixed in a new position. This procedure is suitable for more severe cases of sagging.
2. Endoscopic lift:
Using endoscopic instruments and small incisions, the skin and muscles are lifted without the need for a large incision. This technique is less invasive and has a shorter recovery period.

Perfect for focusing on lifting the corners of the eyes and eyebrows. This procedure is popular among those looking for longer, almond-shaped eyes.
