As I have read from various research, it's stated to avoid temporal regions because of the superficiality of facial nerves: - what type of risks of nerve damage exist along these regions? I understand subcision goes into the deep dermis, where some of these nerves may reside. - how likely is it that a trained surgeon will hit or worse, sever these nerves? - do these nerves ever extend into the same plane that scarring would be at? - how does one know whether he is approaching a nerve? thanks!
Answer: Subcision risks for different skin types Hello,Although mechanical subcision is a treatment option, we would encourage you to consider a deep fractionated laser option as well. With lasers, we have the benefit of heat - a good thing. This advanced technology has not disappointed with the controlled depth achieved for most types of scarring, while proving to be safe and effective for all skin types/colors. Please see our below link for further information and before/after photos using the Sciton ProFractional laser for a variety of scars.

Answer: Subcision Is A Quick, Simple, Relatively Inexpensive Tried-And-True Procedure With Few Complications I have been performing subcision for twenty-three years to treat all kinds of problems in diverse locations and diverse skin types. Conditions that I have personally treated with subcision include acne scars, traumatic scars, chicken pox scars and cellulite of the thighs and buttocks. There are no contraindications to its use in all skin types, including in skin of color. In experienced hands, bruising and swelling are the most common temporary reactions following treatment. The growth factors and wound healing factors, in fact, are desirable since they promote the new, native collagen and elastic fiber production that give rise to the improvement. I have not encountered nerve problems of any kind, even when larger bore trochars are used on the extremities and certainly not with the much smaller bore instruments typically used for lesions on the face, even in the temple regions. Make sure that you seek consultation with a board certified aesthetic physician with expertise and extensive experience in performing subcision and insist upon seeing his/her before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck. .

Answer: Subcision risks and benefits for acne scars. Yes, temple region has lots of nerves, veins and huge arteries, hence knowledge of anatomy, depth, location and experience comes into play. I suggest you see a Plastics or Dermatologist for this procedure. The depth of subcsion can be controlled. The web reference below will take you to a resource. I embedded all the videos in one page to help. You will note how superficial I am in the temples, and how deep I am in other areas.
