Augmentation of temporal hollowing can be done by a variety of materials from injectable fillers and fat to implants. Each has their advantages and the best quality of an implant is its assured volume permanence. Temporal implants are made of a solid ultrasoft silicone material which is designed to feel like soft tissue…which is exactly Read More…
Background: The natural temporal shape for most people is either a flat profile or a slight concavity. This shape is defined by a line drawn between the bony temporal line of the forehead superiorly and the zygomatic arch bone inferiorly. It may touch it (flat profile) or have a 1mm space beneath it. (slight concavity) Read More…
Background: One of the least appreciated and treated areas of the face historically is the temporal region. That has changed with the widespread use of injectable fillers and fat injections where the addition of volume can be readily accomplished. The vast majority of these temporal volumizing treatments are done in women where temporal hollowing is Read More…
Background: The temples are an aesthetically important region that is separate from the forehead above it and the cheeks below it. While the temporal region anatomically extends from the side of the forehead all the way to the back of the head, the most aesthetically recognized temporal region is anterior by the side of the Read More…

Regardless of the implant style used the traditional placement is through Read More…
Background: Temporal augmentation can be done for either a reconstructive or an aesthetic purpose. Most reconstructive temporal augmentations are either due to a craniotomy defect or loss of normal muscle fill of the concave bony temporal fossa from surgery or trauma. Such augmentations take a more craniofacial approach and use various forms of bone cements Read More…
Temporal implants are unique amongst al other forms of face and skull implants for two specific reasons. First it is a soft tissue implant as its intent is to augment the temporal muscle and not bone as the very outer surface of the side of the head is muscle. Secondly it is an implant that Read More…
Temporal implants offer an assured volume increase in correction of aesthetic temporal hollowing. They are available in two styles, standard and extended. The extended temporal implant style was developed to offer a more complete temporal augmentation effect from the zygomatic arch up to the bony temporal line. Two thickness are available from thin (3mm) to Read More…
Temporal implants provide a permanent volume enhancement of the natural and/or congenital hollowing that can occur by the side of the eye. Such implants are typically placed through a vertical incision at or behind the temporal hairline. As the procedure was originally described the incision was back in the temporal hairline. But my extensive experience Read More…
