The shape and position of the outer eyebrows and outer corners of the eyes have a significant influence on the overall impression of the face. A slightly elevated outer brow and upward outer eye contour can create a more elegant, youthful, and defined appearance, while downward positioning of these areas can make the face look tired, sad, or aged.
As we age, the tissues around the temples and outer brow gradually lose their support. This may cause:
Some younger patients may also naturally have lower-set outer brows or downward-facing outer eye corners and desire a more refined eye shape, such as a fox eye or cat eye appearance.
A Temple Lift, also known as a Temporal Lift, is a targeted lifting procedure designed to elevate the tissues around the temple area, outer brow, and lateral eye region. Unlike facelift procedures that focus on the lower face and jawline, a Temple Lift primarily enhances the upper facial contour and eye aesthetics.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, our surgeons customize the degree and direction of lifting according to each patient’s facial proportions to achieve an elegant, natural-looking enhancement without creating an overly pulled appearance.
A Temple Lift can help improve:
By gently elevating the outer brow and temple tissues, the procedure can create a more open and lifted eye appearance while maintaining harmony with the rest of the face.
One of the increasingly popular aesthetic goals among younger patients is creating a more elongated and lifted outer eye shape, often described as a fox eye or cat eye appearance.
This look is characterized by:
A Temple Lift can help achieve this appearance by repositioning the tissues around the temple and outer brow area. However, the final result depends on each patient’s natural anatomy, eyebrow position, eye shape, and facial balance.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, our surgeons focus on creating a refined enhancement that complements the patient’s existing features rather than forcing an unnatural eye shape.
During a Temple Lift, small incisions are made discreetly within the hairline near the temple area. Through these incisions, the surgeon accesses the deeper temporal tissues and carefully elevates and secures the tissues supporting the outer brow and lateral eye region.
The lifting direction is carefully planned according to the patient’s desired outcome:
The procedure focuses specifically on the upper facial area and does not involve significant lifting of the cheeks or lower face.
A Temple Lift can be performed alone or combined with other upper facial procedures such as:
Combining procedures may be recommended when multiple areas around the eyes require improvement for a more balanced result.
Although these procedures may appear similar, they address different areas and aesthetic concerns.

Choosing the right procedure depends on which facial area is contributing to the patient’s concern.
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, a Temple Lift is generally performed under Sleep Sedation with Local Anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
The procedure usually takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether it is performed alone or combined with other procedures.
Recovery is generally shorter compared with larger facelift procedures. Patients may experience:
Most swelling improves significantly within one to two weeks, and patients can usually return to normal daily activities within approximately 7 to 14 days.
The final refined result becomes more natural as swelling decreases and the tissues settle over the following months.
The outer brow and eye area are small but highly influential parts of facial aesthetics. Even a subtle change in brow position can significantly affect the overall expression of the face.
