Why the Face Can Look Bigger If Temple Filler Is Done Wrong in Hongdae

Hello, I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, and I’ve been seeing patients for 10 years.

I have a peanut-shaped face, so I got filler in my temples,

but now my face looks even bigger ㅠㅠ

How upsetting must it be if you get filler for a smoother line and your face ends up looking bigger instead.

Some people even come to me asking me to dissolve filler they received at another clinic.

Today, under the topic “Why the Face Can Look Bigger If Temple Filler Is Done Wrong in Hongdae,”

I’ll explain the mechanism by which temple filler can make the face look bigger, and the essential tips you must check for a successful procedure.

If you read just this post, you won’t end up dissolving expensive filler you paid for and regretfully losing money.

1. Why does the temple area look sunken?

There are three main reasons the temples look sunken.

First is aging.

As we get older, the fat in this area atrophies and volume decreases.

Second is prominent side cheekbones.

As shown in the photo below, when the side cheekbones are naturally prominent,

the area just above them looks relatively more deeply hollowed out,

making the face look like a peanut-shaped face.

In addition, there may be other causes, such as rapid weight loss that quickly reduces facial fat.

2. Why the face can look bigger if temple filler is done incorrectly

The temple area is a very sensitive region that determines the horizontal width of our face.

So if you focus only on filling the hollow, it can easily make the face look bigger.

If you ignore the overall three-dimensional balance of the face,

the visual center of weight shifts outward,

creating a flat, broad impression as if the face has widened horizontally.

Also, the effect can be counterproductive when it does not blend naturally with the cheekbone line.

The key to Hongdae temple filler is to design it so that the protruding side cheekbones appear relatively smaller through an optical illusion.

If too much volume is injected by mistake,

the outer facial line may drop straight down in a flat line,

or it may protrude outward, making the face look overall dull and large.

Lastly, there is also the issue of the product’s properties and the layer into which it is injected.

If a product that is too soft is used in an area with frequent muscle movement,

or if it is injected too close to the skin,

the filler can spread sideways or downward due to gravity or muscle movement.

This spread-out filler adds heaviness to the lower part of the face,

making the face look droopier and wider overall.

So the first thing to check is the clinic’s sense of design.

The temples serve as a bridge from the forehead to the cheekbones.

Therefore, before the procedure, the doctor should directly assess the skeletal structure and skin elasticity,

as well as the degree of muscle development, and design the treatment from multiple angles.

This area is especially visible from the side.

It is also important to see whether they recommend products primarily for their high stability,

and whether they have a strong understanding of anatomy.

The temple area is a passage where important blood vessels, such as the temporal artery, run.

Therefore, not only should a product with verified safety be used,

but also the use of a cannula and the practitioner’s skill are extremely important to minimize vascular damage.

The filler’s duration and shape are determined by the depth and angle of injection.

Choosing medical staff with extensive clinical experience is important in reducing side effects.

You should also look at the details of the molding process performed immediately after Hongdae temple filler treatment.

The quality depends on the process of making the injected filler blend seamlessly with the surrounding tissue,

and shaping it so it is smooth without any uneven areas.

Oh, and in particular, the balance must be adjusted well so that asymmetry does not occur.

In any case, the important thing is to choose a clinic carefully from the very beginning.

If you look at the post below, you may be able to reduce the chance of failure.
