Forehead, Temple augmentation
Hi Dr. Kim, I've heard you specialize at fat graft in this clinic. I am planning to do the temple and forehead augmentation in addition to the eyelid surgery. However, I don't see temple augmentation included in the list, do you do that area as well? What is the fat absorbtion rate? What is the chance of the touch-up is needed? Which method would you use to do the fat graft? How long would you recommend me to stay in Korea for this type of surgery? Thank you. Jennifer |
Hi I'm Dr Kim of Teuim. I do perform temroral(temple) augmentation with fat graft. It is very common procedure. Fat injected over temporal area provides volumetric fulfillment like other areas as well. Fat absorption rate is just a bit higher that that of forehead, but if the patient is young, then it will be less than that of old people. Slight amount of re-touch is usually needed in a few month in some patients, but I cannot guarantee because there is no such a rule. Also, patients should understand that the hollowness of temple is sometimes due to protrusion of zygoma relatively. In this case zygoma reduction is helpful. Only for fat graft, 3-4 days of staying will be enough, but if affordable, I recommend you to visit again in 6 month time for minor re-touch. Anyway, thank you for informing that we haven't listed temple augmentation on our web. Thank you.
