How Is Temporal Implant Surgery Performed?

Temple implant surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves placing an implant in the temple area to create volume – restoring a fuller, youthful look to this area and the overall facial profile. The procedure can be performed under general or local anesthesia at our modern and welcoming facility in Tampa and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

First, Dr. Ambay makes a small incision in the temporal area, usually hidden within the hairline, and creates a pocket for the implant. The implant is then carefully inserted, and positioned to achieve a natural shape and contour. The incision is then closed using sutures, and the patient is allowed to rest and recover.

The implants used in this surgery are typically made of silicone or similar material and are available in a range of shapes and sizes to suit the needs of each individual patient. These feel soft and natural, indistinguishable from the feel of any other muscle. Dr. Ambay will work closely with you to determine the best implant size and shape to achieve your desired aesthetic outcome.

This surgery is an excellent alternative to temple fillers, especially if you are looking for a permanent solution to hollowed or disproportionate temples.

Ideal Candidates for Temporal Implants

If you’re self-conscious about your temple area, you may be a candidate for temporal implants. Other things to consider include:

  • You must be in generally good health overall
  • You must have realistic expectations about your potential results
  • You may have hollow temples as a result of aging or fat loss
  • Your hollow temples may be making your face look disproportionat

What to Expect From Recovery After Temporal Implants

After undergoing temporal implant surgery, you can expect a short period of recovery and healing. While the length and intensity of recovery vary depending on the individual health and age of each patient, there are some general guidelines that everyone can expect.

Immediately following surgery, you may experience some mild pain, swelling, and slight bruising around the implant site. Pain medication and cold compresses can be used to manage these symptoms. You may also be advised to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous exercise for several days after surgery to ensure optimal healing.

During the first few days of recovery, it is important to keep the surgical site clean and dry to reduce the risk of infection. You may be advised to avoid washing your hair for a few days after surgery and to avoid touching or rubbing the area around the incisions, as well as the incisions themselves.

After the initial recovery period, you can gradually resume normal activities. However, it is important to avoid any activities that could put pressure on the implant site or cause injury for several weeks after surgery. You should also avoid exposing the surgical site to direct sunlight until it has fully healed.

Overall, recovery after temporal implant surgery is usually quick and straightforward, with most people able to return to work and other normal activities within 1-2 weeks. With proper care and attention, you can minimize the risk of complications and enjoy the full benefits of your new, more youthful, and proportional appearance.
