What is the long term prognosis for using temporalis fascia over the tip to thicken thin skin?

Bella Vita
I am seeing differing opinions amongst doctors involving the treatment of thin skin using temporalis fascia. However it seems that placing temporalis fascia is a better option than using implants to thicken skin? Please share your thoughts on the pros and cons and especially long term prognosis and also the recovery period of what to expect.
