Temporoplasty is a temporal lift using the endoscopic method. Temporal lifting is an effective way to eliminate age-related changes in the face Rehabilitation after temporal lifting

Fronto-temporal lifting is a forehead and eyebrow lift surgery, the purpose of which is to correct imperfections in the upper third of the face, whether they are hereditary or caused by aging.

The upper facelift operation is performed through several small incisions (about 1 cm) located in the scalp, so no scars are visible after the temporal lift operation.

As a result of a forehead lift, the patient gets rid of a tired or stern look and looks refreshed and rested, with a more open look.

Photos before and after temporal lifting

On the picture: Temporal lifting. The patient is 45 years old. Result one week after the procedure. It is already clear that the lowered tips of the eyebrows and the skin of the upper eyelid have risen and the expression of the eyes has ceased to be sad.

Who needs a forehead and brow lift?

Fronto-temporal lifting surgery will help if you have:

omission of the tissues of the forehead,
horizontal forehead wrinkles
drooping of the eyebrows with the formation of excess skin in the upper eyelids.

Endoscopic forehead and brow lift

Endoscopic fronto-temporal lifting allows you to perform minimal intervention, without resorting to a full "opening", but only necessary to install a mini-camera that allows you to monitor the progress of actions performed using special tools on the monitor screen.

As a result, the plastic surgeon can minimize surgical trauma and reduce scarring. In aesthetic surgery, this technique is effective when it comes to forehead and temple problems.

The principle of endoscopic forehead and brow lift is to detach the entire area, weakening the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles. At the end of the operation, the surgeon repositions the tissues and secures them in their proper position with deep clamps.

Endoscopic lifting can be performed separately, combined, if necessary, with additional aesthetic procedures on the face, such as blepharoplasty (aesthetic eyelid surgery), canthopexy (lifting the corners of the eyes), cervicofacial lifting, laser resurfacing, peeling, injections, etc. ..

This operation can be performed for both men and women, starting from the age of 40. In some cases, it is carried out at an earlier age, when the deficiencies are pronounced (hereditary factor) and are not associated with age-related changes. For example, initially low eyebrows or some prematurely developed wrinkles due to muscle hyperactivity.

On video:Fragment of fronto-temporal lifting operation.
I focus on the stage of skin incision. The fact is that this is a very important moment of the operation, since it is necessary to make an incision in such a way as not to damage the hair follicles. Therefore, the cut in this case is not a perfectly straight line. If the incision is made as accurately as possible, then the scar is then practically not noticeable.

Type of anesthesia and hospitalization for temporal lift

Depending on the case, two types of anesthesia can be used:

Local anesthesia with sedation.
General classical anesthesia, during which the patient is completely immersed in sleep.

The operation can be performed "outpatient", in this case the patient can leave the clinic on the day of the operation after several hours of postoperative observation.

However, in some cases, a short hospitalization is preferable. The patient arrives in the morning (or sometimes the day before, in the afternoon), and the patient's discharge is allowed from the next postoperative day.

The course of the fronto-temporal lifting operation

Each surgeon uses his own method of work, which he adapts to each individual case in order to achieve the best results. However, I will explain the general basic principles.

Skin incisions, 5-10 mm in size (their number is from 3 to 5 pieces) will be located in the hairline, a few centimeters from the edge of the forehead hair growth. One of the incisions will allow the passage of an endoscope connected to a mini video camera, the others will open the way for various instruments specially adapted to endoscopic surgery.

The location of these incisions corresponds, of course, to the location of future scars after a temporal lift, which will be almost invisible due to the fact that they are small in size and will be hidden in the hair.

The entire forehead and temples are subject to detachment to the superciliary arches and the root of the nose. Sometimes, this peeling can be done to the level of the cheekbones and upper cheeks.
Muscles are relaxed in order to get rid of the wrinkles they cause: the frontalis muscle for horizontal wrinkles, the brow muscles for brow wrinkles. In addition, depending on the characteristics of each particular case, other operations of a special nature can be performed.
The peeled tissue will be subjected to a tensile treatment to smooth out crow's feet, lift the eyebrows and remove loss of forehead tone. It will be maintained in the proper position by the application of deep fixation techniques, the type of which depends on the technique preferred by the surgeon.
Small incisions are closed most often with staples, which can be easily removed.

Operation duration from 45 to 90 minutes depending on the scope of the intervention.

Recovery after forehead lift

After the fronto-temporal lifting, pain is usually not observed, but sometimes there is some discomfort associated with a feeling of tension in the forehead, temples and eyelids.

Traces of the intervention progressively disappear, allowing the patient to return to a normal socio - professional life after some time (5 - 20 days, taking into account postoperative signs).

In the first days, complete rest is necessary and excessive loads should be refrained from. The consequences of the operation are mainly expressed in the appearance of edema (swelling) and ecchymosis (bruises), the significance and duration of which are very different depending on the individual characteristics of the patient.

The dressing is removed between the 1st and 3rd day. Staples are removed between the 5th and 15th day.

During the first weeks, there may be some loss of sensation in the forehead, in some cases itching in the skull. These sensations will gradually disappear.

Before and after forehead lift and temporal lift

It takes 3 to 6 months to evaluate the final result after a forehead lift. During this time, all edema should completely resolve, and the skin tissue should regain its flexibility.

Fronto-temporal lifting, depending on the goal, will achieve:

upper face rejuvenation effect
reducing forehead sagging
eyebrow raising
restoration of elasticity of the upper eyelids, smoothing of "crow's feet"
pronounced reduction of frontal and interbrow wrinkles.

The results may vary from case to case, but, as a rule, they have a long-term effect.

Temporal lifting - before and after photos

To rejuvenate the look and face as a whole, just one procedure may be enough - temporal lifting! The operation works real miracles, which many celebrities have confirmed in their experience.

For example, to maintain her attractiveness, Nicole Kidman carefully chooses care and cosmetic procedures. But, if they can’t cope, then skillful maters of facial plastic surgery come to the rescue. It is believed that in addition to the temporal lift, the actress also performed some other anti-aging operations.

Sofia Rotaru and Larisa Dolina, according to experts, are not far removed from their Western counterparts. They carefully hide the facts of applying to plastic surgeons, but you can’t fool the experts!

What is a temporal lift?

Loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin leads to the formation of wrinkles, furrows and folds. First of all, the aging process covers the area of the eyes and forehead.

Temporal lifting is a lateral diagonal lifting of the upper third of the face through access to the temporal fascia. Plastic surgery allows you to correct the area of the temples, eyebrows and forehead.

After the operation, the look becomes more open, the problem of impending eyelids partially disappears. An increase in the elasticity and firmness of the skin of the forehead, cheekbones, and eyes is achieved.

For a pronounced rejuvenating effect, temporal lifting is often combined with circular blepharoplasty, neck lift, neck liposuction, lifting of the lower third of the face.

Unlike other lifting methods, temporal lifting preserves the natural contour of facial features, after it the mobility of facial muscles is not disturbed, and scars are invisible.

Kinds

The classification of temporal lifting implies two types of surgery, based on the type of access to the correction zone:

Open methodology. It is used with a large excess of the skin flap of the temporal and frontal lobes. It is supposed to make a cut up to ten centimeters. It features high anatomical visualization of the operating area. The duration of rehabilitation is longer, since tissue traumatization is increased.
Endoscopic technique. It is a minimally invasive and safe way. Several half-centimeter punctures are made.

The endoscope allows you to reduce the risk of bleeding, hematomas, necrotic changes, damage to blood vessels, nerves and other complications, since the area of operation is completely controlled by the doctor. The sensitivity of the scalp is completely preserved.

The average duration of the operation is 1.5 hours.

Photos "before" and "after"

Temporal lifting is a fairly common procedure, since trauma is reduced. Many doctors have dozens of photographs in their arsenal. According to them, you can evaluate the results of plastic surgery, the skill of the surgeon. The first photo is taken before the operation. The second photo shows the results immediately after the procedure. The third photo is taken after the removal of edema at the follow-up examination.

The photo shows a rejuvenating effect in the form of smoothing the network of wrinkles, the elimination of ptosis of the eyebrows, and the elevation of the outer points of the eyes also occur. Thanks to the endoscopic technique, bruises, scars and other negative consequences are not observed.

Indications and contraindications

Temporal lifting is necessary for patients who have no changes in the middle and lower third of the face, but there are signs of aging in the upper part.

The main indications for a facelift:

A pronounced network of mimic wrinkles in the eye area of varying intensity.
The presence of crow's feet at the outer edges of the eyes.
Omission of the outer corners of the eyes (gravitational ptosis of the lateral canthus).
Changing the distance between the eyebrow and the free edge of the upper eyelid.
Ptosis of the outer points of the eyebrows. Due to the drooping of the eyebrows, the look becomes gloomy.
Furrowed eyebrows in the region of the bridge of the nose.
The development of dermatochalasis - an excess of the epidermis of the upper and lower eyelids.
Descent of the skin-fascial structures of the temples.
Furrows and horizontal folds on the skin of the forehead.
The first signs of ptosis of the soft tissues of the cheekbones and the formation of jowls.

Often, when performing a chin lift and correction of the nasolabial region, differences appear between the lower and upper parts of the face. For rejuvenation, temporal lifting is also used.

The optimal age for a facelift is from 30-35 years old, when the first withering of the skin of the face is noticeable.

Carrying out the operation under a categorical ban, if there are:

Chronic diseases of the heart, blood vessels.
Pathology of the kidneys, liver.
Oncological neoplasms.
Diseases of the thyroid gland.
Acute ophthalmic disorders.
Blood flow disorders, incl. low blood clotting.
Diabetes mellitus of the decompressed stage (presence of dependence on insulin).

The procedure should be postponed if breastfeeding, severe burns, scratches, local inflammation, infection or virus development. Even a runny nose, herpes rashes are a reason for transferring a facelift.

In addition, it is undesirable to perform the operation if there is a menstruation. During this period, the normal process of blood clotting is disrupted. It is necessary to transfer the event to the middle of the menstrual cycle.

Temporal lifting is rarely performed after 40 years, as the number of deep wrinkles increases, the skin loses its elasticity and ability to contract, and the subcutaneous layer of fatty tissue grows. These problems are an obstacle to achieving a noticeable result.

Preparing for the operation

At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon determines the need for a temporal lift. To do this, he evaluates and compares the condition of the soft tissues of the upper, middle and lower thirds of the face. The doctor reports the risk of negative consequences, if, of course, there is one.

Diagnostics
The stage of identifying or confirming the absence of any contraindications is an important step in preparation. You need to pass a standard package of tests, which includes:

Standard blood and urine test.
Extended blood test.
Coagulogram. Specifies the clotting time.
Analysis for latent sexual infections.
Examination of the chest organs. For example, fluorography or radiography.

An additional measure of checking the body: consultation and examination by an ophthalmologist, therapist, endocrinologist. In conclusion, an anesthesiologist is consulted, at which the specialist is interested in the reaction to medications, determines the type of anesthesia for each individual case.

After the diagnosis, the patient is sent with the results of the examination to the doctor. By interpreting the data, pathological conditions are refuted, permission for the operation is issued.

Preoperative measures
At the secondary appointment, the specialist gives instructions for preparing the body for surgical intervention. Despite the low trauma, it is required:

Two weeks before the due date:

Quit or limit smoking as much as possible. Nicotine thins the blood, promotes prolonged healing of tissues in the rehabilitation period, and impairs microcirculation.
Stop drinking alcohol, incl. beer, as alcohol affects blood circulation.
Limit or stop taking anticoagulants, antibiotics, hormonal drugs, drugs that affect blood viscosity, such as acetylsalicylic acid, vitamin E, venotonics.

If it is impossible to refuse medication, then you need to inform the doctor about it.

One week before the due date:

Follow a dietary diet. It is necessary to reduce the consumption of fried, spicy, smoked foods.
Wash hair and scalp with antiseptic shampoo.

On the appointed day:

Don't eat anything. Water intake is not possible.
Remove jewelry, piercings, contact lenses.
Wash your head and body. In this case, you can not visit the bath or sauna.
Wash with an alcohol-free cleanser.
Do not apply moisturizer, cosmetics.

Stages

The temporal lifting algorithm involves the following steps:

The hair is tied into dozens of small buns.
The marking of the main directions is applied.
The treatment area is disinfected with an antiseptic solution.
The patient is immersed in drug-induced sleep. General anesthesia is used for anesthesia. Local anesthesia with internal sedation is an extreme option when there are contraindications to general anesthesia. Safety is controlled by the anesthesiologist.
A puncture or diagonal lateral incision is made in the area above the auricles in the scalp. The puncture is about 0.5 mm long. A continuous incision of about 2.5-3 centimeters runs from the highest point of the frontal lobe to the top of the ear. Due to the cut hidden in the hair, the seam is perfectly masked.
The endoscopic equipment is introduced, the optical area is formed. Thanks to the equipment, the accuracy of the surgeon's actions is the highest, and the likelihood of damage to the structures of nerves or blood vessels is impossible.
The upper region of the temporal fascia is exfoliated, the ligaments are dissected using a thin cannula. The soft tissues of the forehead, areas of the eyelids to the orbital margin, temples, bridge of the nose, and part of the zygomatic zone are affected.
Dissection (the degree of depth of dissection) can be subcutaneous, subperiosteal, subgaleal, based on the severity of existing problems.
The designated zones are pulled up to the desired state. The tissues are fixed with special titanium staples, small medical screws or endotines. The latter are the safest.
A section of the superficial temporal fascia is sutured to the deep structures.
Excess skin is resected.
The dissected tissues are joined with internal and external sutures. Biodegradable threads are used for internal seams.
A drainage system is being installed.
A pressure sterile bandage is fixed.
A compression bandage is applied. He keeps his face in the new position.

Rehabilitation

After the operation, it is necessary to stay in the hospital for a day, where the medical staff and the surgeon monitor the condition after recovering from anesthesia.

The compression bandage is worn for at least 5 days. At this time, it cannot be removed. The stitches are removed after 7-10 days. At the control appointment, the doctor evaluates the process of tissue healing, the likelihood of the formation of a keloid scar.

In the postoperative period, a slight headache, a feeling of tightness of the skin in the temple area, and swelling are possible. Symptoms are short-term and disappear after 3-7 days on their own.

The recovery period is quick and easy if the patient follows the doctor's recommendations, including:

The ban on visiting the bath, sauna, swimming pool.
Refusal to take a bath with different water temperatures.
Limiting physical activity, lifting weights, visiting the gym.
Avoid using a hair dryer to dry your hair.
Prohibition of drinking alcohol and smoking.
Restrictions on tilting the head and torso down.
Use of soft massaging combs. Do not use combs with metal teeth.

The restrictions apply for two months. Already after five days it is allowed to wash your hair, but you need to remember about the vertical position of the head. Foam should not get on postoperative wounds. After 10-14 days, it is allowed to return to the usual way of life, to go to work. Light makeup is allowed.

During the year, you should not take ultraviolet baths, stay in the sun, otherwise the formation of age spots at the site of suturing is possible.

After a few months, the severity of scars can be reduced with the help of physiotherapy sessions. Microcurrent procedures or lymphatic drainage massage have a positive effect on tissue regeneration.

results

After two weeks, you can evaluate the preliminary effect. A rejuvenated, open look is noticeable.

The final results of the temporal lift are summed up two months after the endoscopic lift. If an open temple lift was performed, then the period is doubled.

The results are expressed as follows:

Lack of wrinkled mesh around the lower and upper eyelids.
The return of the eyebrows to their original elevated position.
Lifting the tips of the eyebrows.
Lifting the outer corners of the eyelids.
Smoothing the skin of the zygomatic zone and cheeks.
Elimination of the drooping of the upper eyelid.
Formation of the fold of the upper eyelid (if necessary).
Elimination of excess skin of the frontal and temporal lobes.
Easy smoothing of nasolabial furrows.

Such changes persist for about 6-8 years.

Temporal lifting is a popular plastic surgery aimed at correcting minor defects in appearance and wrinkles in the corners of the eyes (“crow's feet”). After this intervention, the skin is smoothed and tightened, the face becomes fresher and younger.

The essence of the technique

Temporal lifting (another name is temporal lifting) involves a lateral tightening of facial tissues diagonally. This procedure can be performed as an endoscopic lift to smooth out frown lines and create a more open look.

Temporal lifting allows you to achieve the following positive changes in the face area:

lifting of the fold over the upper eyelids;
complete elimination of shallow wrinkles on the face;
raising the tips of the eyebrows;
the formation of an eye incision of the Asian type;
lifting of sagging skin (elimination of ptosis);
correction of zygomatic contours;
smoothing "crow's feet" and nasolabial folds.

Temporal lift is characterized by a minimum of possible complications, and they occur only in rare cases. The final results of the operation become noticeable after a few weeks.

Advantages and disadvantages of the technique

The advantages of temporoplasty include:

the possibility of carrying out from the age of 18 years;
versatility of the technique (lifting the folds of the eyelids and the tip of the eyebrows, tightening sagging soft tissues, improving the facial oval and zygomatic contours, smoothing nasolabial folds and crow's feet, eliminating fine wrinkles);
the possibility of changing the image by creating a narrower (“eastern”) section of the eyes;
minimal risk of complications;
short recovery period;
quick result (after 2 weeks);
the possibility of combining with other procedures for visible facial rejuvenation (mesotherapy).

The main drawback of the technique is the rather high cost of its implementation, averaging from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles. The final price will depend on the rating of the clinic, the qualifications and experience of the specialist, the complexity of the planned work.

Also, the disadvantages of the temporal lift are a fairly large list of contraindications and the impossibility of carrying out for people over 60 years old (the technique will no longer give a clear effect).

Indications for the operation

Age-related changes are a natural process for a living organism, eventually leading to aging and fading of tissues and skin. It is impossible to completely stop it, but it is quite possible to significantly slow it down. Aging can be caused by human genetics, but in most cases, a healthy lifestyle, the absence of bad habits, and the rejection of excessive facial movements allow prolonging youth.

In such cases, for visible rejuvenation, a slight tightening of the skin at the temples is sufficient.

In general, temporal lifting is performed in the presence of the following problems:

ptosis (omission) of the outer eye corners and eyebrows;
deep and pronounced "crow's feet";

"Houndstooth"

deep horizontal forehead wrinkles;

overhanging tissues of the upper eyelid.

Contraindications for the operation

age younger than 18 years (there is no need for the procedure yet) and older than 60 years (the technique is already ineffective for correcting age-related changes);
period of pregnancy and lactation;
menstruation;
recent illness or injury;
the presence of inflammatory processes;
dermatological pathologies affecting the tissues of the face and head;
systemic infectious and viral diseases;
impaired functioning of the kidneys, liver;
impaired blood clotting, blood diseases (including hemophilia);
disruption and pathology of the endocrine system;
weakened immunity, the presence of autoimmune ailments;
cardiovascular insufficiency, hypertension;
mental disorders;
diabetes;
oncological diseases and neoplasms.

Preparatory stage before the procedure

Before temporoplasty, the patient should consult with the surgeon to clarify the indications and exclude contraindications. The doctor will also study the patient's medical history, determine the severity and extent of age-related changes in the face, inform the patient about possible complications and the approximate course of surgical procedures.

A study of the cardiovascular system and the delivery of the following tests are also prescribed:

general urine analysis;
general blood analysis;
tests for syphilis, HIV infection;
fluorography.

2 weeks before the scheduled intervention, the patient must stop taking hormonal and antibiotic medications. 3 days before the operation, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. On the last day before the temporal lifting, it is required to refuse from visiting the bath and sauna, taking a hot bath, and being in direct sunlight. The last meal should be 8 hours before the manipulation, the last water intake - 2 hours.

How is a temporal lift performed?

Temporal lifting is performed using endoscopic equipment, which reduces the risk of medical errors and avoids radical surgical manipulations and extensive dissection of soft tissues. The average duration of temporoplasty is up to 60 minutes.

The intervention is carried out sequentially in several stages:

First, the doctor administers anesthesia. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used depending on the pain threshold and the condition of the patient.
After that, the actual intervention begins. The surgeon dissects the area of the temples, making small incisions (up to 3 centimeters in length) on both sides of the forehead along the hairline.
Next, the specialist inserts the endoscope into the incisions. The use of modern endoscopic equipment allows you to display an image of the operated area on a special monitor and clearly monitor and control any manipulations.
Then tissue tightening is performed until the desired result is achieved. Tissue tension is fixed and excess skin is eliminated.
At the end of the operation, the doctor applies stitches and a special tightening bandage.

This intervention is relatively simple, while the wounds quickly become inconspicuous and heal, as a gentle operation technique and small incisions are used.

After completion of all manipulations, the patient remains in stationary conditions under the supervision of medical personnel for about 10 hours. During this period, the effect of anesthesia will completely stop. The removal of sutures and the evaluation of the results are carried out by the doctor after 2 weeks.

Recovery period after surgery

For quick recovery after surgery and achieving the maximum effect, you must adhere to the following medical rules and recommendations:

wearing a special bandage for about 2 weeks (the exact period is determined by the attending physician), refusing to try to remove it on your own (this can provoke bleeding);
careful and careful implementation of hygiene procedures, protection of the wound site from moisture ingress;
temporary refusal to visit the bath, sauna, solarium, beach, pool;
temporary refusal of physical activity, sports;
temporary (for a week) refusal to wash your hair;
exclusion of the consumption of alcoholic beverages and smoking for the entire period of rehabilitation;
refusal to use care and decorative cosmetics (together with creams and tonics, the doctor will prescribe special formulations and preparations to restore the integument).

The soreness of the operation area will pass in about a week, painkillers can be additionally used to relieve severe pain. Subject to the fulfillment of all medical prescriptions, the rehabilitation period will take from 2 to 3 weeks.

Possible complications after a temporal lift

Any surgical intervention is an invasive process associated with injury to soft tissues and integument, so it can lead to complications. Even perfectly performed surgeon manipulations leave bruises, swelling and hematomas (this is how tissues react to damage), but they are a variant of the norm and pass on their own.

But in some cases, more serious complications of temporoplasty may appear:

Suppuration of incisions in the frontal zone. It appears as a result of non-compliance with the antiseptic requirements for performing the intervention (poor-quality wound treatment, the use of non-sterile instruments). Requires immediate initiation of treatment through the use of antiseptic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Infection of the operating wound. Appears in rare cases and is the result of improper intervention technique, negligence and low qualification of the surgeon. To eliminate the risk of infection, check the rating of the clinic, the qualifications and experience of the doctor, look at certificates and documents for equipment, read reviews on the Internet.

The unique patented facelift system - Intemporal Lifting, a simple operation developed by the French plastic surgeon Peter Cumbo, forced even the most conservative plastic surgeons to urgently introduce it into practice.

Indications for surgery

drooping of the eyebrows, making the look gloomy and the face tired;
sagging of soft tissues in the cheekbones, the formation of jowls;
Expression of mimic wrinkles at the outer edge of the eyelids.

Contraindications for surgery

during pregnancy and lactation,
bleeding disorder (hemophilia),
decompensated diabetes,
pathology of the cardiovascular system,
mental illness
the presence of an acute viral infection,
severe forms of oncology,
exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Operation progress

During temporal-temporal lifting, the sagging muscular-aponeurotic layer of the zygomatic and temporal zones is carefully separated and pulled up - “put in place”. Excess soft tissue is excised. The incision is made above the ear in the scalp, 2.5-3 cm from the hairline, which makes it possible to make the stitches from the operation not visually noticeable.

Rehabilitation after surgery

Temporal lifting has the fastest rehabilitation period - literally the next day, many patients return to work. For better fixation of soft tissues, a compression bandage is applied to the operated area, which is desirable to wear for the first 5 days without removing it.

There may be a slight swelling and a feeling of tissue tension in the temporal zone, which usually disappears within 5-10 days. The sutures are removed 8-10 days after the operation. You should refrain from playing sports, swimming, visiting the pool, sauna and solarium for two weeks, and ideally a month.

Operation cost

The price of temporal lifting depends on the volume and complexity of the surgical intervention. The full cost of the operation is determined by the surgeon at the preliminary consultation, when he gets to know you better and conducts an examination.

Initial appointment with a plastic surgeon - 1,000 rubles.

Operation - 60,000 rubles. (temporal lifting)

Indications for a facelift in the temple area are:

mimic wrinkles around the eyes;
crow's feet;
ptosis of the corners of the eyes;
drooping of the upper eyelids;
eyebrow ptosis, frown;
furrowed eyebrows on the bridge of the nose;
excess skin of the upper or lower eyelid;
deep wrinkles on the forehead;
flew;
ptosis of the soft tissues of the zygomatic zone.

If the patient has one of these skin changes, then the plastic surgeon will recommend a minimally invasive frontotemporal lift. The optimal age of the patient for a temporal area lift is 30, 35 years. After the patient reaches the age of 40, the temporal region lifting procedure is not performed, as a wide network of deep wrinkles appears, and the skin loses its elasticity. It will be impossible to achieve a good result of rejuvenation of the upper third of the face with temporal lifting.

Contraindications for surgery

The list of contraindications for endoscopic temporal lifting is standard and includes:

diabetes;
oncological pathologies;
blood diseases;
infectious or inflammatory process in the body;
diseases of the heart and blood vessels;
neuralgic diseases.

Temporal lifting: rehabilitation

Plastic surgery for lifting the upper third of the face lasts about 1 hour. It is performed under both local and general anesthesia. The type of anesthesia is determined by the plastic surgeon and the anesthesiologist, who evaluate the patient's condition and the extent of the surgical intervention.

Since the temporo-endoscopic lifting is a minimally invasive procedure, the rehabilitation period passes quite quickly. After surgery, a bandage is applied to the patient's face, which reduces swelling of the soft tissues. It should be worn for at least 5-7 days.

The stitches are removed by a plastic surgeon after 7 days at a consultation after an endoscopic lift of the upper third of the face.

To avoid complications after a minimally invasive plastic facelift, compliance with the rules of rehabilitation will allow:

at the time of recovery, you should refuse to visit the bath and sauna, solarium and pool;
you can not take a bath or a contrast shower;
it is forbidden to play sports, lift weights - any physical activity should be minimized;
do not lean your head or body forward;
for the period of rehabilitation after a temporal facelift, you should refuse to dry your hair with a hairdryer;
smoking and drinking alcohol are prohibited, which can increase the patient's recovery time and the healing process of postoperative sutures.
