Temporal Tuck

THE TYPICAL PATIENT

  • Anyone with heaviness of the upper outer eyelids, crows feet, and sagging to the outer eyebrows.
  • This can be done to correct some unevenness from one side to the other.
  • Temporal tuck test: Look straight ahead in the mirror and pull up and back gently on the forehead above the eyebrows. If you see a change in the eyebrows and the upper eyelids that you like, then you are an excellent candidate for the surgery.
  • It is much less extensive than a formal browlift and may provide the same or nearly same results, depending on your anatomy and expectations.

THE PROCEDURE

  • A small incision is placed about one inch behind the hairline and follows the curvature of your hairline for several inches. A space is made through the incision down to the eyebrow to release the ligaments and allow for elevation.
  • Excess scalp is removed and the incision is closed. There is no hair shaved.
  • Anesthesia is a local, or sedation (twilight) or general.
  • The operation takes about 45 minutes for both sides.
  • You see your results immediately.
  • No dressings, drains, or garments are needed.
  • This can be combined with other plastic surgical procedures.

THE RECOVERY

  • You can go back to work or your usual activities within several days.
    You can shower and wash in two days.
  • There is minimal to no pain.
  • Swelling is mild to moderate and peaks at two days then disappears rapidly.
  • Minimal or no bruising is the usual.
  • Makeup can be applied within two days.
  • There is no numbness.

THE RESULT

  • Beautiful, balanced and proportioned elevation of the outer eyebrows and bright youthful look to the eyes.
  • No visible incisions.
  • A natural result that does not look artificial or unusual or surprised.
  • A long lasting result that always looks better than if you did not do it.
