Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Endoscopic temporal lift is a minimally invasive procedure that rejuvenates the temporal area (sides of forehead above ears) using an advanced endoscopic camera for precise visualization. Temporal lift is performed as part of either Bella Eyes® (which includes eye opening and lateral brow lift) or Trinity Lift (which includes midface rejuvenation). The procedure uses 2 small incisions hidden in the hairline.

No, not ideally. Endoscopic temporal lift requires “lifting points”—anchor sites that support and maintain the elevated position. These lifting points are typically the lateral brow (in Bella Eyes®) or deeper midface structures (in Trinity Lift). Without these anchoring points, endoscopic temporal lift cannot achieve stable, lasting elevation. This is why temporal lift is integrated into Bella Eyes® or Trinity Lift rather than performed as a standalone procedure.

Bella Eyes® includes complete temporal elevation as the lateral brow is lifted. Results are dramatic with significant eye opening. Trinity Lift includes subtle temporal lift as a secondary benefit from midface lifting. Results are more conservative—temporal improvement is understated but still present. Choose Bella Eyes® for maximum rejuvenation; Trinity Lift for comprehensive midface treatment with subtle temporal improvement.

Traditional temporal lift uses blind dissection (working without visualization), requires skin removal, and results in visible scars in the temporal area. Endoscopic temporal lift provides direct visualization with minimal dissection, requires no skin removal, and uses hidden hairline incisions. Endoscopic approach is safer, more precise, and produces minimal scarring.

Trinity Lift is ideal for patients wanting comprehensive midface rejuvenation (cheekbone definition, under-eye improvement) with subtle temporal elevation, without the dramatic eye shape change of Bella Eyes®. If your primary concern is the temporal area specifically, Trinity Lift may not be ideal—Bella Eyes® would be better. But if you’re concerned about midface aging, Trinity Lift’s subtle temporal component is an added benefit.

Bella Eyes® or Trinity Lift typically takes 60-90 minutes. If combined with additional procedures (medial brow lift, sunken eyes correction, etc.), surgical time extends to 90-120 minutes.

No. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia—you’re completely asleep and feel nothing during surgery. After surgery, there’s mild to moderate discomfort easily managed with prescribed pain medication.

No. All incisions are placed within the hairline and completely hidden by hair, even with short hairstyles. Scars fade within 3-6 months and become virtually invisible.

Consider your primary concerns:

• Want dramatic eye opening?→ Bella Eyes®
• Want cheekbone definition?→ Trinity Lift
• Want subtle temporal improvement?→ Trinity Lift
• Want maximum rejuvenation?→ Bella Eyes®
• Concerned about eye shape change?→ Trinity Lift (maintains eye shape)

Discuss your goals with Dr. Askeroglu during consultation for personalized recommendation.

Most patients return to normal work activities by day 7-10 post-operative. Your sutures are removed at day 10, which is when many feel comfortable in professional settings. Some return earlier depending on their job type and comfort level.

Sutures are typically removed at day 10 post-operative in the office. This is a key checkpoint where you can see the incision sites and assess your progress.

Swelling and bruising typically peak around day 3-4. Maximum swelling is usually mild to moderate. By week 2, most swelling is gone. By week 4, nearly all swelling has resolved. Most bruising fades by weeks 2-3.

Light activities (walking) can resume immediately. Light cardiovascular exercise and yoga around week 2-3. Heavy weight training and strenuous exercise around week 4-6 as tolerated.

You can gently wash your hair starting around day 3-5, being careful to keep incisions dry. Once sutures are removed at day 10, you can wash normally.

You can wear makeup starting around day 3-5 to cover bruising. Just be gentle around incision areas.

Avoid for the first 2 weeks:

• Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting
• Bending over excessively
• Hot showers, saunas, steam rooms
• Direct sun exposure (use SPF 50+)
• Smoking and nicotine products
• Alcohol if taking pain medication

Bella Eyes®: The temporal area is dramatically elevated along with the lateral brow, creating a lifted, rejuvenated temporal contour.

Bella Eyes®: The temporal area is dramatically elevated along with the lateral brow, creating a lifted, rejuvenated temporal contour.

Trinity Lift: The temporal area is subtly elevated (natural-looking improvement) as the midface is lifted and anchored.

Both create harmonious results that complement overall facial rejuvenation.

Significant improvement by week 4. Nearly invisible by month 2-3. Continued refinement over 6-12 months as scars fully mature.

Initial improvement visible within 1-2 weeks. Approximately 75-80% of final results visible by 4-6 weeks. Completely final results appear at 2-3 months when all swelling has resolved.

Results are long-lasting, typically 7-10+ years or more. You’ll maintain significant improvement long-term. Some gradual aging continues, but you remain much improved from baseline.

Yes, although most patients enjoy results for many years. If you desire further improvement years later, the procedure can be performed again. Discuss long-term planning with Dr. Askeroglu during consultation.

$8,000 USD or €7,000 EUR for either Bella Eyes® or Trinity Lift (2024-2026 pricing). This includes comprehensive surgical and post-operative care.

Yes, a deposit is typically required to secure your surgery date. The remaining balance is due before your procedure. Dr. Askeroglu’s office will explain the specific payment schedule.

Yes, we offer bundled packages for international patients that can include accommodation arrangements. Ask about all available options.

Good candidates typically have:

• Sagging temporal region or loss of temporal volume
• Drooping lateral eyebrows or temporal descent
• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations
• Adequate hair density to conceal incisions
• Willingness to follow post-operative instructions

Your suitability is best determined during a personal consultation with Dr. Askeroglu.

Thin hair is less ideal because incisions are more likely to be visible. However, incisions are very small and can be placed strategically. Discuss your hair density with Dr. Askeroglu during consultation—he can evaluate whether the procedure is appropriate for you.

No specific age limit. Many patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond have successful surgeries. Overall health is more important than age. Dr. Askeroglu will assess your fitness for surgery.

You must commit to quitting smoking entirely for at least 1-2 weeks before and after surgery. Smoking impairs healing and increases complications. This is non-negotiable for optimal results.

Serious medical conditions that would contraindicate surgery include uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, and recent blood clots. Dr. Askeroglu will review your medical history during consultation.

Ask Dr. Askeroglu’s office about virtual consultation options. Many patients do an initial virtual consultation before traveling for an in-person visit.

Yes. Popular combinations include:

• Bella Eyes® + Medial Brow Lift– Complete brow elevation
• Trinity Lift + Medial Brow Lift– Comprehensive upper face
• Bella Eyes® + Sunken Eyes Correction– Complete eye rejuvenation
• Trinity Lift + Sunken Eyes Correction– Comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Ask about combination pricing—bundling is more economical than separate surgeries.

Combining is more economical (one anesthesia, one recovery period) and creates better results (treating all aging areas together creates harmony). Separate surgeries cost more and require multiple recovery periods.
