Restore a refreshed, naturally lifted appearance with a temporal brow lift that addresses sagging outer brows, hooding of the upper eyelids, and a tired expression. At DeRosa Facial Plastic Surgery, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa customizes every procedure to help you look like yourself (only better) with beautifully subtle results.
Restore a Naturally Lifted Look
A temporal brow lift is a facial plastic surgery procedure that elevates the outer portion of your eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. Unlike a full brow lift, it focuses on the temples and lateral brow, making it ideal for addressing mild to moderate brow descent and hooding near the outer upper eyelids. Dr. DeRosa carefully tailors your procedure to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring timeless, subtle, natural-looking results.
Do I Need a Temporal Brow Lift?
You may consider a temporal brow lift if you’ve noticed subtle changes around your brows and eyes that make you look tired, heavy, or less refreshed than you feel. During your consultation, Dr. DeRosa will carefully evaluate your concerns and recommend whether a temporal brow lift is the most appropriate treatment for your goals.
You may be an excellent candidate for a temporal brow lift if:
- You have drooping of the outer portion of your eyebrows
- You notice hooding along the outer upper eyelids
- You feel your eyes appear tired, heavy, or less expressive
- You want subtle facial rejuvenation while maintaining a natural appearance
- You have mild to moderate brow descent rather than significant forehead sagging
- You would like long-lasting improvement instead of relying solely on injectable treatments
- You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about your results
How is a Temporal Brow Lift Performed?
Your temporal brow lift is performed by Dr. DeRosa at our on-site QUAD A-certified surgical suite. After anesthesia is administered, Dr. DeRosa makes small incisions hidden within the hair-bearing temples. Through these incisions, she releases the tissues that have descended over time, elevates the outer brow to a more youthful position, and secures the deeper soft tissues to provide stable support. Excess skin is conservatively adjusted only when needed, allowing the brow to be lifted without creating an overcorrected appearance.
Once the desired brow position and symmetry have been achieved, Dr. DeRosa closes the incisions with fine sutures to promote healing. Because the incisions are concealed within the hairline, visible scarring is typically minimal. Throughout the procedure, every step is tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to achieve beautifully subtle, natural-looking results.

Temporal Brow Lift FAQs
Will I have visible scars?
The incisions for a temporal brow lift are often placed within your hairline near the temples, making them difficult to see once healed. While every incision leaves a scar, Dr. DeRosa plans incision placement and closure to help them heal as discreetly as possible.
When can I return to work and my normal routine?
Your recovery depends on the extent of your procedure and whether additional treatments are performed. Many patients return to desk work and light daily activities within one to two weeks once swelling and bruising have improved. More strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until you receive clearance during your follow-up visits.
