Restore youthful support and harmony to the upper face with a Temporal Lift treatment using strategically placed injectables. Volume loss in the temples is a common but often overlooked contributor to an aged or hollow appearance. As this area deflates over time, it can lead to brow descent, shadowing around the eyes, and a narrowing of the upper face that disrupts overall balance.
At our Short Hills practice, Dr. Bev uses her deep structural understanding of facial anatomy to replenish temple volume, subtly elevate the brow, and enhance overall facial proportion — all without surgery.
What Is a Temporal Lift?
A Temporal Lift facial balancing treatment targets volume loss in the temple area using carefully chosen dermal fillers or biostimulatory injectables. As the temples lose volume with aging, this can:
- Create a hollowed or sunken appearance
- Contribute to brow descent
- Make the eyes appear tired
- Disrupt upper-face balance
By restoring support to this foundational area, Dr. Bev improves brow position and enhances the transition between the brow, temple, and midface for a more harmonious look.
How the Temporal Lift Enhances Your Features
This treatment can help improve:
- Temple hollowing and deflation
- Brow heaviness / lowered outer brow
- Under-eye shadowing caused by midface imbalance
- Overall upper-face proportion and support
This treatment, sometimes referred to as a Pony Tail lift, offers a small, structural enhancement in the temple which often improves surrounding areas naturally.

- All injections are performed personally by Dr. Bev
- Treatments may be performed with a cannula more superficially or by injection more deeply

How Long Results Last
