Temple augmentation for hollowing.
The most common aesthetic deformity of the temporal region is excessive concavity or depression. It can be caused from surgery (temporalis muscle wasting after a craniotomy), a medical condition (fat atrophy from extreme weight loss or medications) or one’s natural genetics. (congenital lipoatrophy) Regardless of its etiology, some form of an implanted material is needed to build out the temporal depression.
Methods for temporal augmentation have included injected fat, dermal grafts, bone cements or cranioplasty materials and various synthetic implants. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages and have different locations of placement, either above the fascia, below the fascia, intramuscular or on top of the temporal bone. Depending upon the cause for the temporal deformity, there may be benefits to one method of augmentation over the other.
The look is called a “peanut-head”, meaning the squeezed or pinched shape of your upper head.
Whilst in New York, last December, Dr Young was trained in a special technique to correct this change.
Technique aims-
- less bruising
-instant result
- less complications
-less pain
Within 30 minutes hollows will be corrected with dermal fillers, and the results will last up to 2 years. Please not the goal is not be convex, but rather flush, and in keeping with the contour of your face….the art of shaping!
So if this is the look you have, call in and book.
