Temporal augmentation for a contoured face provides a permanent solution for hollow temples.

Temple augmentation surgery to reduce the deep concavity of sunken temples will help enhance the sweetness and gentleness of the face, making it look more prominent. Temple augmentation helps adjust the face shape to be ideal for people with sunken temples. Permanent temple augmentation surgery with silicone sheets can solve these problems, making the temples look full and making your face look younger and more radiant.

What are the methods for temple augmentation?

According to Chinese beliefs, individuals with a prominent, full forehead and well-rounded temples—without hollows or depressions—are thought to have good fortune. This belief has made temple augmentation a popular cosmetic procedure. Currently, there are several options for achieving fuller, well-defined temples, including the following.

• Filler Injection

Filler injections are a highly popular method for temple augmentation, as they provide immediate results without the need for surgery or downtime. Fillers, specifically Hyaluronic Acid (HA), are a type of dermal filler known for their high flexibility and hydrating texture. Their molecular structure closely resembles the naturally produced collagen in the skin, helping to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and create a youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Once the filler is injected, the results typically last for a short period, around 6 to 12 months, before naturally dissolving. However, if non-standard or counterfeit fillers are used, they may not break down on their own. This can lead to inflammation or other complications, potentially requiring surgical removal in the future.

• Fat Grafting

Fat grafting to the forehead or temples involves harvesting fat from other areas of the patient’s body and injecting it into the forehead or temple area.

The procedure uses small amounts of fat, strategically injected into multiple layers of tissue as designed by the doctor. This technique allows the fat to evenly distribute, filling deep grooves and restoring volume to flat or hollow temples. However, the procedure requires a recovery period, as there will be small incisions at both the fat harvesting site and the injection site.

The results of fat grafting can be long-lasting, with the injected fat becoming permanent after about six months. However, if the injection technique is not performed properly, multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.

• Silicone Implants

Silicone implant temple augmentation is a popular method for correcting hollow, sunken, or depressed temples. This procedure provides a precise and permanent solution, as the surgeon selects the appropriate implant size based on the patient’s needs and facial structure.

The surgical incision is made above the ear and hidden within the hairline to ensure no visible scarring on the face.

The results of silicone temple augmentation are permanent, with no risk of volume loss over time. This method also has fewer complications compared to injectable fillers.

One of the key advantages of using silicone implants is minimal swelling compared to filler injections. Additionally, if the patient is not satisfied with the results, the implant can be surgically removed completely.

Temporal augmentation process

Currently, temple augmentation surgery is a safe and uncomplicated procedure. Using silicone implants to enhance the temples provides a permanent solution to hollow temples, creating more definition and giving the face a youthful appearance.

The steps involved in the procedure are as follows:

• The surgeon will administer local anesthesia to the area to be operated on, and general anesthesia may be used by an anesthesiologist to ensure the patient feels no pain during the surgery.
• The surgeon will make an incision on the scalp, approximately 1-2 cm away from the hairline, creating a 2-3 cm incision to place the silicone implant.
• The silicone implant is carefully inserted into the desired position, with the surgeon adjusting its shape for the best fit.
• The incision is then closed using medical staples, and there is no need to shave the hair.
• After the surgery, the patient can return home the same day without needing to stay overnight in the hospital.

Preparation Before Surgery

Inform the doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, medications for chronic illnesses, surgical history, allergies to medications, or food (if you have a medical record from a hospital, bring it with you on the consultation day or inform the clinic before scheduling the surgery).
If you are taking blood thinners, medications affecting blood clotting, pain relievers, or any other medication for chronic conditions, consult with the doctor before the surgery or notify the clinic before booking the surgery.
Avoid all supplements and vitamins, such as Vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, ginseng, etc., at least 1 month before the surgery.
Wash your hair thoroughly before the surgery day and avoid makeup on the day of surgery. Do not wear contact lenses on the day of surgery; if you have vision problems, wear glasses instead.
Remove all jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, and rings, on the day of surgery (if unable to remove them, inform the staff).
Stop smoking at least 4 weeks before and after surgery, as nicotine can reduce oxygen levels in the blood, impair wound healing, and increase the risk of infection.
Avoid alcohol 1-2 days before the surgery and for at least 1 week after surgery.
Clean your nails thoroughly before the surgery and avoid nail polish or nail extensions on both fingers and toes.
Prepare your mindset by staying calm and understanding that some swelling and bruising around the incision area, as well as changes in appearance, are normal and will take time to heal and adjust to the new look.

Temple Augmentation Cost

The cost of temple augmentation varies depending on the method used, such as filler or fat injections and silicone implant surgery. The expenses may also include the doctor’s consultation fee before the procedure. It is recommended to check for further details and get a personalized estimate based on the chosen method and doctor’s assessment.
