Aesthetic augmentation of the side of the head is designed to increase its fullness or convexity. From the side of the eye (lateral orbital rim) all the way to the back of the head is known as the temporal skull area. While most people think of the temples as to the side of the eye, Read More…
Head width refers to the bitemporal diameter above the ears at the side of the head. Technically this is posterior temporal width. This is different than anterior temporal width which refers to the correction of a hollowing or a concave shape. The relevance of head width has come more into play these days as more Read More…
Temporal hollowing has become a target for aesthetic treatments with the expansion of injection therapies. Injectable fillers and fat injections are the most common temporal augmentation methods. The ease of their use as non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments makes them very appealing to patients and doctors alike. However the temporal region is one of the Read More…
Augmentation of the temporal region is a new area for synthetic facial implants. While every other facial implant designed is for bony augmentation, temporal implants provide enhancement of the soft tissue (muscle) region of the side of the forehead and eye. While injectable filler and fat provide a less invasive approach, they do not offer Read More…
Temporal augmentation with implants is done by inserting them through a small vertical incision in the temporal hairline. They are placed on top of the muscle but below the overlying fascia. They are composed of a very soft and flexible silicone material that feels like soft tissue (muscle or fat) and not hard like Read More…
There are a large number of available implants that seemingly provide aesthetic augmentation for every conceivable facial location. Most facial implants are made of a soft flexible silicone elastomer material whose physical properties allow them to be relatively easy to surgically place and remove if necessary. Also, a silicone elastomer material allows for any Read More…
One of the last facial areas to be cosmetically enhanced is that of the temples. Not to be confused with places of worship and even having slightly different Latin word derivations, the temples anatomically are to the side of the eye along the side of the head. Aesthetically, it is a near isosceles triangle with Read More…
A recent news story out of the UK in London headlined the transfer of fat from a man’s stomach to his head to reshape it. Given that fat injections to the face, breast and buttocks have become so popular over the past decade, such a story is at the very least noteworthy. The patient was Read More…
The temporal region of the face, technically the side of the head, occupies an often overlooked aesthetic area. It is bounded superiorly by the anterior temporal line of the forehead, anteriorly by the lateral edge of the bony brow and eye socket, inferiorly by the zygomatic arch and posteriorly by an indistinct margin in Read More…
The temple is a small and often unappreciated region of the face. The most visible part of the temporal region is situated between the side of the eye and the hairline behind it. It is vertically bounded by where it becomes part of the forehead (anterior temporal line) and the zygomatic arch below. (back Read More…
