Background: Aesthetic augmentation of temporal hollowing, like most forms of facial augmentation, is most commonly done using injectable fillers and fat. This is certainly appropriate given that temporal hollowing is a soft tissue deformity and not as a result of a bone defect or deficiency. While different forms of such injectates exists and their advantages 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 implants have come into usage to create a permanent augmentation effect of the muscle to the side of the eye. Some temporal augmentation patients have been through injectable fillers and fat injections first while others opt right for a permanent surgical effect with implants. These soft and very flexible implants are designed to replicate Read More…
The original temporal implant, now known as style 1, was designed to treat the temporal hollowing that is located to the side of the eye. This ‘orbital’ temporal area is always the deepest part of any temporal concavity and is the most common location for aesthetic temporal hollowing. In looking at the shape of the Read More…

Temporal implants offer a smooth and volume-assured method for building out the anterior temporal aesthetic zone next to the eye. Of all the facial implants, it is the only one that augments muscle, not bone, and is very straightforward to Read More…
Like all facial implants, temporal implants comes in a number of standard sizes and styles. Standard and extended implants exist to cover either the anterior lower temporal (zone 1) or the both anterior lower and upper temporal areas. (zone 1 and 2 or extended style) Within these two styles there are also various thicknesses (sizes) Read More…
Injectable fillers, fat and implants are all options for the treatment of temporal hollowing. But the one permanent and assured smooth treatment is that of temporal implants because of their shape and non-resorbable material composition. But temporal implants do require an incision to be placed over the main body of the temporalis muscle underneath the Read More…
Temporal implants offer the only assured permanent method of treatment for temporal hollows and improving the width/convexity of the upper facial third. It is a procedure performed through small vertical incisions in the temporal hairline. This provides the most direct method for placement by going underneath the deep temporalis fascia to place the implant on Read More…
