Temporal Silicone Implant

Improve your facial aesthetics!

Temporal hollowing, characterized by a concave appearance in the temples, can significantly impact facial aesthetics. This condition often results from aging, trauma, or genetic factors, particularly in individuals with low body fat.

Importance of Temporal Augmentation

Rejuvenating the temporal area through augmentation can restore balance to the facial features. The temples are crucial in defining the natural “triangle of beauty,” which extends to the chin, hosting a visual importance that may not be immediately recognized.

Methods of Augmentation

  • Filler Injections: Commonly used to enhance the temporal fat pad, fillers provide a temporary solution. However, they require regular maintenance every 6-12 months and carry risks of rare complications such as blindness or skin necrosis.
  • Temporal Implants: For those seeking a more permanent option, silicone implants offer a reliable and lasting solution. This method has shown to reconstruct contours effectively with minimal complications.

Choosing the right method for addressing temporal hollowing is crucial. While fillers are effective short-term solutions, implants represent a more permanent route for individuals committed to maintaining fuller temples and enhancing their facial aesthetics.

Temporal Implant Procedure

The temporal implant procedure is designed to restore volume and contour to the temporal area, enhancing overall facial aesthetics. Here’s an overview of the process.

Procedure Overview

  • Anesthesia: The procedure can be performed using either general or local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic setting, ensuring patient comfort.
  • Incision: A small, vertical incision is made just in front of and above the ear, typically within the hairline. For individuals with potential balding, the incision can be strategically placed behind the ear to minimize visible scarring.

Implant Placement

  • Dr Turowski inserts the implant through the incision, positioning it above the temporal muscle in the hollow area on both sides of the head.
  • Care is taken to ensure that neither the incision nor the implant is noticeable after healing.

Recovery from Temporal Implant Surgery

Post-Operative Experience

Most patients report minor discomfort, with occasional bruising and swelling being common.

Recovery Timeline

Patients typically can return to work within 2-3 days. Since the temporal implants are muscle-based rather than bone-based, patients often experience a quicker recovery. Swelling tends to dissipate relatively fast, allowing for the early visibility of final results.

Important Notes

Individual Variations: It’s essential to acknowledge that individual results can vary. There are no guarantees that every patient will experience the same outcome as described. This procedure offers a lasting solution for those looking to enhance their appearance and restore youthful contours to the temples.
