Hollow Temples and a Flat Forehead: A Softer Impression Through Fat Grafting

The impression of a face is greatly affected not only by the eyes or nose, but also by the forehead and temple line.

If the forehead slopes back or the temple area is hollow, the face may look stronger or more masculine, so many people want to improve this.

In particular, when the temple area is hollow, the cheekbones may appear more pronounced and the facial line may feel sharper.

On the other hand, when the forehead and temples naturally have volume, the entire face changes to a softer, more feminine mood.

This case shows before-and-after results of forehead and temple fat grafting in a woman in her 50s.

• What is the most natural way to improve forehead volume? -

Representative methods for filling the forehead and temple volume include the following.

• Filler (HA filler, calcium filler, etc.)

• Forehead implant (silicone implant, Gore-Tex implant)

• Autologous fat grafting

The simplest method is filler, but there are limits to how long it lasts, and repeat procedures may be needed.

Forehead implants can create definite volume, but some people worry about issues such as fluid collection or a foreign-body sensation.

That is why one of the most commonly performed methods in practice is autologous fat grafting.

Because it uses your own fat, the feel is natural, and it may help soften the overall mood of the face.

• The Important Thing in Forehead and Temple Fat Grafting Is the Blood Vessels -

A surprisingly large number of blood vessels pass through the forehead and temple areas.

• Bruising may last a long time

• Swelling may become severe

• Recovery time may be prolonged

In particular, the temple area has a relatively complex distribution of blood vessels, so careful attention is needed.

Therefore, during fat grafting, it is important not only to simply add volume,

to consider the location of blood vessels and inject safely in separate layers.

In addition, using a tumescent solution that constricts blood vessels may help reduce bleeding and bruising.

After the blood vessels are stably constricted, fat is grafted, making a more delicate and stable procedure possible.

From the front, the hollow temple area was naturally filled, and the facial line became noticeably softer.

Also, from the side and at a 45-degree angle, the backward-sloping forehead line became rounded and connected forward,

changing to a more feminine and youthful impression.

Rather than creating an overly bulging forehead, it is important to make a natural curve that harmonizes with the entire face.
