Temporal Lift in Seoul, Korea | Grand Plastic Surgery


A temporal lift is a subtle yet powerful anti-aging procedure performed at Grand Plastic Surgery in Seoul to elevate the outer brow, smooth the temples, and refresh the eye area without changing your natural expression. This lift uses small incisions hidden in the hairline to gently reposition the tissues that cause heaviness around the eyebrows and upper face.

It is ideal for individuals who want an elegant, refreshed look with minimal downtime and discreet scars.

What Is a Temporal Lift?

A temporal lift—also known as a lateral brow lift—focuses on raising the outer third of the eyebrow and tightening the temple region. Instead of lifting the entire forehead, this targeted approach softens the tired, droopy look that happens when the outer brow and temple tissues descend with age.

This procedure helps improve:

  • Heavy or drooping outer brows
  • Hooded upper eyelids (from lateral brow descent)
  • Tired or sagging eye appearance
  • Fine lines around the temples
  • Early upper-face laxity

Because the lift is gentle and precise, the result looks natural rather than overly pulled.

Temporal Lift at Grand Plastic Surgery

Grand Plastic Surgery is known for refined facial lifting techniques that focus on natural expression, carefully hidden incisions, and a soft upward vector lift. Their temporal lift approach elevates the outer brow while preserving eye shape, eyelid function, and facial harmony.

Common goals at Grand include:

  • Brightening the eyes
  • Reducing lateral hooding
  • Lifting the outer brow naturally
  • Softening temple wrinkles
  • Creating a more awake, refreshed appearance
  • Avoiding an over-lifted or surprised look

This procedure is popular among both younger patients seeking aesthetic refinement and older patients combining it with other lifts or eyelid surgery.

How the Temporal Lift Works

Although plans vary by patient, the temporal lift at Grand typically includes:

1. Tiny Incisions in the Hairline

Placed behind the temple or scalp area for optimal scar concealment.

2. Lifting the Outer Brow Tissue

The descended tissues are gently elevated to restore youthful positioning.

3. Tightening the Deep Layers

SMAS and fascia structures are secured upward for lasting support.

4. Smoothing the Temple Area

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and creasing.

5. Natural Contouring and Symmetry

Ensures the lift blends seamlessly with the rest of the face.

Because the incisions are small and the lift is targeted, recovery is faster and scarring is minimal.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A temporal lift is ideal for individuals with:

  • Outer brow drooping
  • Hooded eyelids due to brow descent
  • Tired or heavy upper face appearance
  • Temple wrinkles or loose skin
  • Early aging around the eyes and brows
  • Desire for subtle rejuvenation without a full brow lift

Many patients in their 20s–50s choose this procedure for refinement, while older patients add it to facelifts or eyelid surgery.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery is straightforward and typically shorter than other lifting procedures.

  • Days 1–3: Mild swelling or tightness around the temples
  • Day 5–7: Stitch removal
  • 1 week: Most daily activities resume
  • 2–3 weeks: Swelling significantly improves
  • 1–2 months: Full, natural results become visible

International patients often stay 7–10 days in Korea before flying home.

Expected Results

A temporal lift at Grand Plastic Surgery delivers:

  • Naturally lifted outer brows
  • Reduced heaviness around the eyes
  • Brighter, more refreshed eye area
  • Softer lines and smoother temples
  • More youthful upper-face contour
  • Subtle improvement without changing your natural expression

It enhances the face in a balanced, refined way without obvious signs of surgery.

Temporal Lift vs. Full Brow Lift

A temporal lift focuses on lifting the outer brow, whereas a full brow lift elevates the entire forehead. The temporal technique is ideal when the center brow is fine but the outer brow and temple area have begun to sag.

For many patients, the temporal lift is enough to restore a fresh, youthful look without needing a full forehead lift.
