Risks of Fat Grafting on Temple Area?
What are the risks associated with Fat grafting the temple area?

Contour irregularity may be common complication
Fat grafting in the temporal area needs to be done judiciously and using small amounts. The skin is generally thinner and sits against hard bone. This area will show even the smallest bumps. Trying to mold the fat using finger pressure after the injection doesn't work well. So, in addition to the serious conditions that the previous answer described, I would be mindful of irregularities.
