Temporal lifting

Temporal lifting

Temporal lifting (another name is temporoplasty) is one of the types of plastic surgery of the upper third of the face.

As part of the surgical intervention, the area of ​​the outer corners of the eyes is corrected. At the same time, the position of the eyebrows is changed and wrinkles in the periorbital zone are also removed.

Indications for temporal lifting

The main indications for lifting the temporal region are the presence of age-related skin changes in the area around the eyes. The ideal age for the procedure is 35-40 years.

Temporal lifting does not involve any serious surgical intervention. There will be no scars, but the effect is more than significant.

Temporal lifting is ideal for women who want:

• Get an open look (carried out by “lifting” the folds of the skin over the upper eyelid).
• Remove fine wrinkles around the eyes (so called “crow’s feet”).
• Correct the shape of the eyebrows.

Also, temporal lifting will allow you to achieve the effect of the so-called “eastern” eyes. As part of the surgery, it is possible to partially reduce the ptosis of the cheeks and eliminate the nasolabial folds.

Particular features of temporal lifting

Preparation for temporal lifting  as well as for any other surgical interventions involves a preliminary consultation and laboratory diagnostics.

Laboratory diagnostics includes:

• Blood test – general, coagulogram.
• Urine analysis.

If you have vision problems, you may need additional consultation with an ophthalmologist. An anesthesiologist’s opinion is also required.

You should adhere to the following recommendations one week before the plastic surgery:

• Exclude everything spicy, fatty, salty.
• Quit smoking.
• Do not consume alcoholic beverages.

The technique of temporal lifting is determined mainly by the condition of the skin and age. It can be open or endoscopic.

• Open method

A large incision with further flap detachment is carried out. In this way, the surgical field can be visualized much better. This option is very traumatic, but, at the same time, it allows you to raise the height of the forehead.

• Endoscopic method

It is more preferred because it helps avoid unnecessary trauma. The surgeon makes small incisions that do not exceed 2 centimeters in length.

This option is aimed at tightening the soft tissues of the face which have dropped due to age-related changes.

It is carried out on the basis of the use of endoscopic equipment. The rehabilitation period is shorter in comparison with the open technique. In most cases plastic surgeons prefer this option.

Plastic surgeons make skin exfoliation in the temporal region either through subcutaneous dissection or may extend to the subperiosteal region. The second option is preferable if the adipose tissue needs to be moved and then the muscles are tightened.

Changes in the position of the flap occurs based on the destruction of the ligament, which is located at the edges of the orbit. If necessary, the surgeon corrects the glabella muscles. The next step is to fix the tissues in a new position. For this, special seams are used. The duration of the surgery is 50 minutes.

If the age-related tissues of the face are pronounced, there is severe ptosis, it is advisable to combine the lifting of the temporal zone with blepharoplasty, neck lift, lifting of the lower third of the face.

Rehabilitation period

A lot depends on the rehabilitation period, first of all, the final result of the temporal  lifting.

After the operation the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic of Andrey Leonidovich Kharkov 24 hours after the surgery. The stitches are removed 10-12 days after the surgery.

Among the general recommendations of the rehabilitation period:

1. Avoid getting water on the wound.
2. Banned – visiting beaches, swimming pools, saunas, baths, solarium.
3. Any physical activity should be excluded.
4. Smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

In addition, for a while, it is worth refusing to use cosmetic products (tonics, lotions, creams). Do not be afraid of pronounced painful sensations. They go away on their own within a week.
