According to physiognomy, individuals with sunken temples are often believed to have unfavorable fortunes. More noticeably, hollow temples create harsh facial angles and cause the forehead to appear pinched, resulting in an unbalanced look. Therefore, temporal augmentation surgery was introduced to help those with hollow temples achieve a smoother, more harmonious facial contour.
What Is Temporal Augmentation?
Full, well-contoured temples give your face a gentle, benevolent appearance. A smooth and radiant upper face also conveys vitality, sharpness, and intelligence.
However, with age, volume loss at the temples can make the face look hollow, aged, and disproportionately pear-shaped. Depending on the degree of temporal depression and the patient’s aesthetic goals, doctors will recommend the most suitable aesthetic technique.

Methods of Temporal Augmentation
+ Temporal Augmentation with Dermal Fillers
This is a popular non-surgical aesthetic choice for many clients. With this technique, after measuring and marking the treatment area, the doctor injects dermal fillers to restore volume to the temples.
Results typically last between 9 and 12 months, after which maintenance injections are required to preserve the aesthetic result.
+ Autologous Fat Grafting to the Temples
Temporal augmentation using centrifuged autologous fat is another effective method to achieve fuller temples. The longevity of autologous fat grafting is longer than dermal fillers, often lasting several years. However, touch-up sessions may still be needed over time to maintain optimal fullness.
+ Temporal Implants
In this surgical procedure, the surgeon places pre-shaped, biocompatible implants into the temporal area. The implant is inserted into the body through a tiny incision concealed within the hairline.

Treatment Procedure
To ensure optimal results and patient safety, every cosmetic procedure must follow a rigorous, closed-loop clinical protocol. Temporal augmentation surgery is no exception. At JW, doctors carry out the following standardized steps:
Step 1: Consultation and Clinical Examination
Patients are directly examined by specialized surgeons who evaluate their facial anatomy and explain the procedure in detail, recommending the most appropriate approach for each individual case.
Step 2: Pre-operative Health Screening
Patients undergo a comprehensive health check prior to surgery. Any underlying medical conditions must be managed promptly. Full health eligibility is mandatory before proceeding.
Step 3: Performing the Procedure
Sedation/local anesthesia is administered to ensure a completely comfortable, pain-free experience.
The procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes. Depending on the predetermined plan, the doctor performs injection or surgical placement to augment the temples.
For surgical temporal implants, the surgeon creates a discreet micro-incision hidden within the hairline near the temple, through which the implant is inserted. The incision is closed with delicate aesthetic sutures, leaving virtually undetectable scarring.
Step 4: Post-operative Recovery
Step 5: Follow-up Appointments as Directed by the Doctor
