title: [Temporal lift].
abstract: The temporal lift belongs to the traditional face lift which is in fact temporo-cervico-facial. It also forms part of the face lift "upper part of the face" which is in fact temporo-frontal. It is to say that it relates to a junction zone between the superior and inferior part of the face.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  In a first part the authors recall the essential anatomical data including the eyebrow, the Charpy's fat pad, the galea and the temporoparietal fascia, the nerves (temporo-facial branch of the facial nerve and supra-orbital nerve) and the veins (sentinel vein). Then they expose the various surgical techniques (galeapexy, endoscopic temporal lift, brow lift, facial threads, standard fixing Endotine forehead, botulinic toxin. This makes it possible to define in a more precise way the indications and counterindications of the temporal lift.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The indications of the temporal lift are the lateral ptosis of the tail of the brow. On the other hand, the total ptosis requires a frontal lift. In this case one can associate a concomitant blepharoplasty. The temporal lift is frequently carried out in a way combined with a cervico-cheek lift. The prospects for technical progress to improve perenniality of an isolated temporal gesture are large and will allow us to widen the indications.
