How is a temporal brow lift different from a traditional brow lift?

Question:

How is a temporal brow lift different from a traditional brow lift?  Is it true that it can be performed in a doctor’s office?

Answer:

A temporal brow lift  is something that is usually done with small incisions in the temporal area and  the temporal hair.  It hides very nicely  and it works beautifully to get rid of brow ptosis or sagging in the lateral  aspect of the eyebrows. The big advantage of a temporal brow lift is most  people primarily have problems with sagging of their eyebrows on the lateral  aspects and do not want a big incision or a major operation just to correct  that problem.  Also, since it is hidden  in the hair, the operation hides very nicely. Again, the big difference is  that, unlike a traditional brow lift, it does not involve an incision across  the whole scalp and can certainly be done in a doctor’s office in about 35 or  40 minutes under local anesthesia.
