Introduction
Temple hollowing can be improved through dietary adjustments, makeup techniques, hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous fat transfer, or implant placement to achieve a fuller appearance. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and effectiveness. After the procedure, it is important to keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid strenuous activities, maintain a light diet, and refrain from smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
Generally speaking, there is no specific trick to naturally improve sunken temples. However, there are several methods, including dietary adjustments, makeup techniques, hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous fat transfer, and implant augmentation, that can help make the temples appear fuller. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Dietary Adjustments
Eat more foods rich in collagen, such as pigskin, pig feet, and chicken feet. These foods help replenish the body's needed collagen, thus improving skin elasticity and firmness, making the temple area appear fuller.
2. Makeup Techniques
For people with mildly sunken temples, makeup techniques can be used to camouflage the appearance. For example, using highlighter on the forehead and temples to create shadows can visually elongate the hairline and mask the sunken appearance of the temples.
3. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers involve injecting an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid into the sunken areas of the temples. Hyaluronic acid has strong water absorption and retention capabilities, which can increase skin volume and lift the sunken skin, making the temple area appear fuller. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid injections is 1,000-5,000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable 1-3 months after the procedure, but side effects such as redness and pain may occur.
4. Autologous Fat Transfer
Autologous fat transfer involves extracting fat from areas of the body with abundant fat stores, purifying it through centrifugation and processing, and then injecting the purified fat particles into the sunken temple area to make it fuller. This method can also improve the skin texture in the treated area. The general reference price for autologous fat transfer is 5,000-20,000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable 2-6 months after the procedure, but side effects such as swelling and hard nodules may occur.
5. Implant Augmentation
Implant augmentation involves making an incision in the temple area and implanting a customized prosthesis into the sunken area. The support provided by the implant makes the temple appear fuller. The general reference price for implant augmentation is 8,000-30,000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable 3-6 months after surgery, but complications such as infection and hypertrophic scarring may occur.
It is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of a professional physician to ensure safety and effectiveness. Postoperative care includes keeping the surgical area clean and dry, avoiding strenuous exercise, maintaining a light diet, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and refraining from pressing or squeezing the treated area to avoid affecting the final result.
