This article describes a new technique that is completely different from superficial temporal facelift (also referred to as the mannequin facelift), which is associated with well-known failures and sequelae. The principle of the deep temporal facelift is to approach the deep surface of the musculo-aponeurotic plane by remaining in contact with the bone and to attach the ascension of this plane by means of sutures anchored to the temporalis muscle and fibrin sealant. Essential indications for this technique are:
drooping of the tail of the eyebrow
dropping of the external canthus of the eye
crow's-feet.
