Endoscopic Temporal Lift

What is endoscopic temporal lift?

It’s a small lift with a big impact.

An endoscopic temporal lift (sometimes called a lateral brow lift) focuses on the outer part of your brows and temples. It provides your eyes a more open, refreshed look without changing your whole face.

Surgeons make a few tiny cuts, usually hidden in your hairline. Then they use a small camera to guide the lift from underneath. They gently reposition the tissue, lifting the tail of your brow and smoothing out the skin at your temples. No big scars, no pulled look.

You still look like you, just less tired.

This is great if your brows have started to droop at the sides or your upper eyelids feel a bit heavy. It's especially popular with people in their late 30s to 50s who want a cleaner, brighter eye area but don’t need (or want) a full facelift.

Recovery is quick. Results are subtle but super refreshing. People might not know what you did, but they’ll definitely notice you look more awake.

So... is it worth it?

If you're looking for a low-key glow-up around the eyes, absolutely.

How is endoscopic temple lift done?

Step What Happens:

  1. Small cuts are made in the hairline.

  2. A tiny camera (endoscope) is inserted.

  3. The surgeon lifts the outer brow and temple area.

  4. Tissues are gently repositioned upward.

  5. Internal stitches or anchors hold the lift in place.

  6. The cuts are closed carefully.

  7. Bandages may be placed for support.

  8. You go home the same day (in most cases).

Alright, here’s how it works - super simple.

The surgeon makes a couple of tiny cuts, usually hidden in your hairline. So, don’t worry, no one’s going to see them.

Next, they use a tiny camera to look under your skin. That’s what “endoscopic” means. It helps them see exactly what they’re doing without opening up too much.

Then comes the magic part:

They gently lift the skin and deeper tissues near your temples and the outer part of your brows. Not pulled. Not fake. Just softly lifted, like when you brush your hair back and everything looks smoother for a second.

They fix the lifted tissue in place and close up the small cuts, and that’s it.

The whole thing usually takes about an hour or two.

No big scars. No dramatic “I had surgery” look.

Just a fresher, more awake version of you.

How long does a temporal facelift last?

On average, it lasts around 5 to 7 years.

Yes, that's long! But of course, it’s not the same for everyone. Some people keep their results even longer, while others may notice changes a bit sooner.

So what makes it last longer?

Good skin care. Sunscreen, moisturiser, the basics - they really help.

Healthy lifestyle. No smoking, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated.

Gentle facial movements. Constant pulling (like rubbing your face too hard) can wear things down faster.

Touch-up treatments. Think Botox or fillers. They don’t replace the lift, but they help keep the look fresh.

And what shortens it?

Sun damage. The sun ages skin faster than anything.

Smoking. It breaks down collagen and speeds up sagging.

Significant weight changes. Gaining or losing a lot can affect the skin’s tightness.

So, the lift itself is solid, but how long will it look great? That part’s totally up to you.

This kind of lift gives your face a little refresh - nothing over the top. It mainly lifts the outer part of your eyebrows, so your eyes look more open and rested. You know that tired look that sometimes settles in as we get older? This helps take that away.

One of the best things is that there are no big scars. The cuts are tiny and hidden in your hair, so no one sees anything.

It also smooths the fine lines around your eyes and gives a gentle pull to the temples. It’s not a huge change, but you definitely feel the difference when you look in the mirror.

And recovery? It’s usually quick. You’re not stuck at home for weeks like with more invasive surgeries.

If the outer part of your brows has started to droop a little...

And if you catch yourself pulling your temples back in the mirror thinking, “That looks better,”

Then yes, you’re probably a great candidate.

Most people who get this lift are in their 30s to 50s. They’re not ready for a full facelift (and don’t want one). They just want to freshen up. To look a bit more open, rested, and naturally lifted without anyone knowing exactly what changed.

Your skin should still have some stretch to it. You should be generally healthy. But most of all, you should be someone who wants a subtle boost, not a total transformation.

How long does endoscopic temporal lift procedure take?

Usually around 1 to 2 hours. That’s it.

It’s a quick, focused procedure.

How long does it take to recover from endoscopic temporal lift?

Most people feel okay after a few days and are back to daily life in about a week.

You might have a little swelling or bruising, but it’s usually mild. Nothing too dramatic.

Full recovery?

That takes around 2 to 3 weeks, but you’ll look presentable much sooner.

Tip: Taking it easy for the first few days helps a lot. Ice packs, rest, and no heavy lifting. Simple things make a big difference.

Endoscopic temporal lift scars

Let’s be honest, scars are always a concern. But here’s the good news: with an endoscopic temporal lift, they’re barely noticeable.

The incisions are tiny and usually hidden inside your hairline, near the temples. So, unless someone is digging through your scalp with a magnifying glass (which… they won’t), no one will see them.

Worried about hair loss around the scars?

That’s rare. We are very careful about where they place the incisions, so your hair grows back just fine around them.

In the beginning, scars might feel a little bumpy or tight, but that softens with time. Within a few months, most people can’t even find the scar themselves.

So yes, technically there are scars. But in real life? They’re basically a non-issue.

Endoscopic temporal lift cost in Turkey

If you’re looking for a quality lift without spending a fortune, Turkey is a great choice. Most clinics charge between $1,800 and $3,000, and that usually includes everything you need.

Compared to the U.S. or Europe, it’s way more affordable, and honestly, the results are just as good.

Another nice part? No endless waiting lists. You can get an appointment pretty quickly, and most clinics are super organised.

Prices can change depending on a few things, like how experienced your surgeon is, which clinic you choose, and whether you’re adding other treatments. But overall, it’s a smart option if you want quality care, fast service, and natural results… without the crazy price tag.

Downtime: Low

Downtime: Moderate

Longevity: 5-7 years

Longevity: 7-10 years

Less discomfort post-op

Slightly more swelling and tightness

Both lifts aim to do the same thing: lift the outer brow and freshen up your eyes. But the way they get there? That’s where things change.

The traditional temporal lift uses a longer cut, usually behind your hairline. It gives strong results but is a bit more invasive. There might be a little more swelling, and healing can take longer. Some people also worry about visible scarring, especially if their hair is thinner.

Now, the endoscopic version? Much gentler. The surgeon makes a few tiny incisions and uses a small camera to lift the tissues from underneath. So, you get less trauma, faster recovery, and scars that are basically invisible.

Endoscopic is more modern, more precise, and just... lighter. It’s a great option if you want a subtle lift without looking like you’ve had surgery. Most people go back to normal life within a week.

But if you need a bigger correction or your brow has dropped quite a bit, the traditional method may still be the better call. It depends on what your face needs, not just what sounds cooler.

What is Endoscopic Temporal Brow Lift?

It’s a subtle lift for the outer part of your brows and temples.

Tiny cuts are made in the hairline, and a small camera helps the surgeon lift the tissues from underneath.

No big scars, no pulled look, just a fresher, more open expression. Think of it as a gentle reset for tired eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is endoscopic temporal lift painful?

Not really.You don’t feel pain during the procedure.

You might feel a bit sore for the first couple of days, but it’s nothing strong. Regular painkillers are usually enough, and your doctor will tell you exactly what to take.

A cold compress decreases swelling and pain.

Is temple lift safe?

Yes, it’s usually a very safe procedure.

Since it’s not too invasive, the chances of serious problems are low. You might feel a bit sore or see some swelling, but that’s expected and doesn’t last long.

As long as your surgeon is experienced and you take care of yourself after, it’s a smooth process for most people.

Does endoscopic temporal lift change eye shape?

Not really, it lifts but doesn’t reshape.

The goal isn’t to give you a new eye shape. It’s to gently lift the outer brow and open up the eye area.

Will your eyes look different?

A little. In a good way. Like you had a great sleep.

It doesn’t pull or stretch the eye. So, no “cat eye” or surprised look unless that’s what you ask for (and even then, it’s soft and subtle). The change is natural, not dramatic. Just enough to make your eyes feel lighter and your expression more open.
