Didn’t she say she got a temporal brow lift surgery for her migraines?!?
From my research this is why people get that surgery. A temporal brow lift, also called a lateral brow lift, is a cosmetic procedure that raises the outer portion of the eyebrows and tightens the skin around the temples and upper eyes. People usually get it for appearance-related reasons, although some also do it because sagging brows affect their vision or make them feel tired-looking.
The most common reasons people choose a temporal brow lift are:
Drooping outer eyebrows.
As people age, the outer part of the brow often starts to sag first. This can make the eyes look heavy, hooded, or tired.
Hooded upper eyelids. A lowered brow can push skin downward over the outer upper eyelid. Some people get a temporal brow lift to open up that area and make the eyes appear larger or more awake. Tired, sad, or angry appearance.
Even when someone feels fine, sagging brows can create a constant “tired,” “mad,” or “sad” expression. A brow lift can soften that look. Smoother forehead and crow’s feet area. The procedure can slightly tighten the temple area and reduce wrinkles around the outer eyes.
More youthful eye shape.
Some people want a subtle lifted “cat-eye” or almond-eye appearance. A temporal brow lift can create a mild upward angle at the outer eye area.
Better symmetry. If one brow sits lower than the other, the procedure can help balance them. Vision concerns.
In some cases, sagging brows or excess skin can partially block peripheral vision, especially at the outer corners. A lift may improve that. Compared to a full brow lift, a temporal brow lift is usually:
• Less invasive.
• Focused only on the outer brow area.
• Quicker recovery.
• More subtle in result.
People sometimes combine it with:
• Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).
• Botox.
• Facelift procedures.
• Skin tightening treatments.
Risks can include:
• Scarring.
• Numbness.
• Hairline changes.
• Asymmetry.
• Overly “surprised” appearance if overdone.
• Temporary swelling or bruising.
Recovery is often around 1–2 weeks for major swelling/bruising, though subtle healing continues for months.
I won’t list what I found when I searched if that surgery she got is used for migraine relief and it said, no. That surgery is called Migraine Decompression Surgery to help with migraines. She didn’t get this surgery for her migraines. Which is her business…just tell the truth!
