I'll be having a coronal incision for another procedure so the implants could be easily placed under the muscle. Otherwise, I would have fat grafted to the area at a later time. I'm concerned about headaches, possible visibility or palpability of the implant, and the unpredictability of fat.
Answer: #RealselfQ: What are the pros and cons of temporal implants vs. fat grafting? Temporal implants are not my first preference for improving temporal concavities. I believe fat grafting is far more superior because it's safer and it's easier to correct asymmetries between the two sides. Temporal implants have the potential for infection and extrusion, and at times can be unnatural looking too. On the other hand, with fat grafting, the patient may experience fat re-absorption or lumpiness.

Answer: What are the pros and cons of temporal implants vs. fat grafting? Thanks for your question. Fat transfer to the breast has become more popular in the press, but we do not perform this procedure as we do not believe that it has been properly proven as a safe, dependable, and cost effective means of performing breast augmentation. There are also possible side effects that one must consider, including the risk of scarring on a mammogram that can complicate detection of breast cancer. Other side effects are possible infection, fat resorption necessitating more sessions of fat grafting, and possible asymmetry.

Answer: What are the pros and cons of temporal implants vs. fat grafting Thank you for sharing your excellent question. One of the best facial rejuvenation treatments is the addition of volume through the use of a patient’s own tissues. Fat grafting provides soft, supple results that can be tailored to each patient with little risk of infection, malposition, or palpability that accompanies a solid silicone implant. Hope this helps.

Answer: Temporal grafts and implantd I share your concerns. I seriously doubt either procedure will work well enough to be worthwhile st all. Just stick with the coronal lift. The other procedures are losers.
