Temporal depression means that the temporal area (temple) of the face is low and flat, and it is not full enough. Thin people often have this kind of performance, because there is less subcutaneous fat. But some people are caused by the genetic characteristics of the skull itself. Temporal depression is often accompanied by adjacent frontal depression. The fullness of "Heaven" is not a perfect symbol in China. More and more people are trying to make temples full, that is, temples are sunken and filled.
The incision of this operation is mostly chosen behind the hairline of the temporal bone, and sometimes combined with frontal filling, a long coronal incision at the top of the temporal bone will be chosen. The surgical methods vary according to the filling materials.
(1): silicone prosthesis filling
According to the severity of temporal depression, an oval silicone prosthesis was carved, and an incision of about 3 cm was made in the temporal area to cut the scalp, fascia and temporal muscle, and a cavity with a suitable size was made near the temporal bone. Insert and fix the silicone prosthesis in an accurate position, and sew the muscles, fascia and skin in layers for external application. Antibiotics were used for 5-7 days after operation, and bandages and stitches were removed after 7 days. It will not be too swollen after operation, so it is necessary to pay attention to the displacement of the prosthesis, resulting in uneven filling on both sides.
(2): PTFE filler
Polytetrafluoroethylene is a new type of facial filling material, which has the characteristics of stability and flexibility, and the filling effect is natural and realistic. However, the incision needs to be large, and the material should be fully flattened during filling to prevent folding and curling. High price is also a big disadvantage.
(3): Autologous dermal fat transplantation
Adipose tissue with dermis can be cut from the buttocks and abdomen and transplanted into the temporal depression. The advantages are that autologous tissue is used, which is not exclusive and easy to obtain. The disadvantage is that some of it will be absorbed and affect the effect, and the donor site will leave a big scar.
(4): Autologous fat granule injection transplantation.
There is not much difference between injecting autologous fat particles into temporal area and other parts. The main problem is that it will be partially absorbed after injection and needs repeated injection. (2-4 times with an interval of 2-3 months).
The incision filled with temporal depression is hidden, even if it is operated again, there will be no obvious surgical scar, and the postoperative effect will be ideal.
