Temporal Lift in Turkey — Refreshing the Outer Brow & Eye Area

Temporal Lift in Turkey with Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu is a local with sedation-anaesthesia procedure performed in a fully accredited private hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. Dr. Barutcu is a board-certified female plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon and an ISAPS member. Pricing starts from €3,800 (all-inclusive), with a ambulatory (same-day) hospital stay; most international patients stay 7–10 days in Istanbul.

A subtle lateral lift that opens and refreshes the eyes.

A temporal lift addresses the earliest, most visible signs of ageing around the outer brow and lateral eye area — drooping brow tails, heaviness and deepening crow's feet — through small incisions concealed within the hairline. The result is a fresher, more rested look.

Surgical Technique

Minimal-Incision Temporal Lift

Short incisions are placed within the temporal hairline. The deep temporal plane is released and the lateral brow is elevated and secured, avoiding any tension on the skin. Often combined with upper blepharoplasty for complete eye-area rejuvenation.

Temporal lift vs brow lift

A temporal lift is a lateral (side) brow lift — it targets the outer brow and eye area with minimal incisions. A full endoscopic brow lift addresses the entire forehead and central brow. Dr. Barutcu will recommend which is right for you at consultation.

Combining with other procedures

A temporal lift is frequently combined with upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a facelift for a fully harmonious result. Combined procedures are planned to keep total operative time safe.
