- Different areas of the temple, which are drawn to make the face look better, are marked and cuts are made in these areas.
- The skin is stretched to the extent that causes the eyebrow and temple drooping, and if needed, it is stitched with special threads.

Temple lift with plexer
You must have heard the name Plexer a lot, because these days there are a lot of advertisements related to the Plexer temple lift and it has many applicants. This method is done using a device called plasma jet. This device is similar to a marker with a very fine head.
The doctor selects points behind the eyelid and the superficial layer of the skin is burned. Don’t worry, there is no damage to the eyes and eyelids and the penetration power of the device’s rays is only up to the middle layer. Depending on the amount of sagging, your doctor may prescribe you several Plexer sessions. Plexer sessions are usually done with an interval of one to two months.

Surgical temple lift
If your doctor has diagnosed you with a surgical temple lift, there is nothing to worry about because this procedure is simple, does not require hospitalization, and takes one to two hours.

The cost of surgical temple lift depends on the location of the operation, anesthesia method, expertise and skill of the doctor, etc.

Temple skin lift
This method is suitable for removing small wrinkles and slight drooping of the eyelids and eyebrows, and in it, only the skin of the temple is stretched, so it does not work for deep wrinkles.

With the endoscope, the eyes and eyebrows are lifted to the right amount and there is no possibility of non-redness
SMAS method or temple lift by pulling the middle layer under the skin

Pay attention that working on the muscles under the skin is specialized and requires skill and experience, so avoid visiting non-reputable centers and inexperienced doctors.
MACS method or temple lift by pulling a very deep layer under the skin
This method is very similar to the previous method, with the difference that in this method, very deep muscles are also stretched, so it is effective for removing deep wrinkles.

In all surgical procedures, the price of temple lift depends on various factors that will be explained to you in the consultation sessions.
Eyebrow lift with botox injection

To achieve positive results of eyebrow lift, the muscles in the corners of the eyes that create crow’s feet wrinkles and the procerous and wavy muscles that form the frown line are weakened with Botox. Botox lift is mild and temporary and is more suitable for young patients who are at the beginning of the skin sagging process.
