The reason why many people do not advocate filling the temples with autologous fat is because this area is a great test of the doctor's technical level.
First of all, we have to consider the issue of security. While autologous fat injections may sound like a natural, harmless filler, there are actually certain risks. One of the biggest complications is vascular embolism. If the injected fat particles accidentally enter the blood vessels, they may reach the vital blood vessels as the blood flows, causing avascular necrosis. In extreme cases, this can lead to cerebral infarction or omental embolism, and may even lead to insomnia and even serious health problems.
Secondly, it is not possible to survive 100% of the injected fat. The survival rate of fat cells is affected by a variety of factors, including injection technique, fat quality, individual differences, etc. This means that multiple injections may need to be repeated if the desired filling results are to be achieved, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and risk of the procedure.
In addition, there is a problem with the displacement of the injected fat. Especially in the temple area, there is a chance that fat will flow downwards, resulting in poor filling. In the outpatient setting, we often encounter this situation and need to make another surgical adjustment.
Finally, in appearance, after multiple fat injections, the temples may appear too full and even a little like "buns". This is clearly not what we were hoping to achieve.
To sum up, while autologous fat injections are an optional method of temple filling, it is important to find a good doctor and institution.
