This method is ideal for women and men seeking a gentle lift in the temple and midface region, without neck correction and with discreet scars hidden in the hairline.
It offers a youthful lifting effect without visible scars, especially suited for younger patients with early signs of skin laxity, tired eyes, and a desire for a “Fox Eye” or “Cat Eye” shape.
• You are bothered by a tired gaze or drooping outer eyebrows
• You desire a refreshed, firmer midface with enhanced cheekbone contour
• You want a natural, yet visible result – without a radical surgical approach
Through small, hidden incisions in the hairline, the tissue in the temple, cheek, and lateral eye area is gently lifted and repositioned.
The result is a subtle and youthful lifting effect – ideal for patients aged 30+ with good skin elasticity.
Note: This procedure is not the same as a classic temporal facelift or brow lift. It is a modernized technique with a targeted vector lift approach.
The procedure is performed in our clinic by Dr. Riikka Veltheim, a board-certified specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery with many years of experience in facial surgery.
