Temporal hollowing is a hallmark of facial aging as it promotes a skeletonized facial appearance with exposure of the midfacial and periorbital bony regions. Therefore, increasing the volume of the temple via minimally invasive soft tissue filer injections have become a safer method to address this aesthetic condition. However, the temple can also be used to reposition the midface and the lower face; newer injection techniques that have surfaced following intensive clinical research. In this module, standard injection techniques (like the Gun-Shot technique) and advanced techniques like the Interfascial Technique or like the Temporal Lifting Technique are shown.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the layered anatomy of the temple.
- Appraise the complexities of the temporal arterial and venous vasculature as it pertains to soft tissue filler injections.
- Compare the dangers and benefits of using a needle versus a cannula injection technique when treating the temple.
- Evaluate the 3-dimensional anatomy of the pathway of the facial nerve in the temple.
- Analyze the most suitable injection technique for lifting versus volumizing.
- Distinguish between superficial versus deep temporal injections techniques and relate this to the clinical outcome.
Included Videos
The temple has a total of 10 layers, 4 major arteries, 1 major vein, and an abundance of motor and sensory nerves.
