About this procedure

An assessment of the outer third of the brow - its tail - and of the temporal tissues on both the vertical and lateral axes, and a reordering of the tissue that gathers around the eye.

Surgical approach and technique

Through an incision within the hair-bearing scalp of the temple, the deep fascial tissues that carry the outer canthus and the tail of the brow are directed upwards. Tissue laxity in the temple is taken up.

Who is it for?

May be planned, after clinical examination, in people with descent of the brow tail or tissue laxity at the outer corners of the eye.

Recovery

A mild sensation of tightness may be felt in the temple in the first days. Once the swelling settles, patients generally return to social life within 5-7 days.

Back to desk work: approx. 5 days. Social recovery: approx. 10 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is the structure of the eye affected by the operation?

Where the work keeps to the anatomical planes, the natural form of the eye is preserved.

Are the incisions noticeable?

The incision line is placed within the hair-bearing scalp of the temple, so no conspicuous scar remains.
