“…15 However, our previous study showed that there is a possibility of perforation of the superficial and deep temporal arteries. 16 Our sonographic findings showed that the anterior branch of the deep temporal artery could be interrupted when deeply injected into the temple area (►Fig. 7).…”

Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect almost all arteries of the face before injecting the hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. The relatively more dangerous sites of filler injection are the glabellar wrinkle, forehead, temple, nose, and nasolabial fold area, and it is recommended to map the vasculature of these areas by Doppler ultrasound before performing filler injection. The Doppler ultrasound detection method is included as a video. Internal carotid arterial branches, the supratrochlear, supraorbital, and dorsal nasal arteries, and external carotid arterial branches, the superficial temporal and facial arteries, are very important arteries when injecting HA filler; thus, Doppler ultrasound detection is recommended.

“…The temple vessels can be detected using Doppler ultrasonography, and we believe that the safest layers for the temple augmentation are those between the STF and DTF. In our previous study, pre‐injection Doppler ultrasonography allowed immediate pre‐procedural identification of the blood vessels located in a relative, objective, and straightforward manner to avoid complications in the patients receiving the temple injections 16 …”

“…In our previous study, pre-injection Doppler ultrasonography allowed immediate pre-procedural identification of the blood vessels located in a relative, objective, and straightforward manner to avoid complications in the patients receiving the temple injections. 16 The first limitation of this study is that the anatomical variability between races was not considered.

“…4 HA filler (Joonghun Pharmaceutical) was used in this study. A hockey stick probe (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) MHz, E cube, Alpinion Co.) was used to identify the anatomic layers of the temple for precise targeting. (Figure 1) When performing ultrasound to locate the desired temple augmentation area, multiple layers were observed.…”

Background Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection is easy and effective for augmenting the temple. However, there are multiple layers in the temple and multiple guidelines regarding the optimal layer for administering these fillers. In this study, we used ultrasonography to reveal relatively safe layers for augmenting the temple and selected the space between the superficial temporal fascia (STF) and deep temporal fascia (DTF) as an injection site. Methods Doppler ultrasonography was used to differentiate anatomic layers of the temple and detect the blood vessels. HA filler was injected in the space between the STF and DTF. After filler injection, ultrasonography was used to detect the proper filler location. Patient satisfaction and complications were evaluated. Results Hyaluronic acid filler was injected into the space between the STF and DTF in all patients. An average of 1.08 ml of HA filler was injected into one side of the temple. In 15 out of 50 patients, the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery was detected at the hairline or on the anterior side of the hairline, which was the location where the temple augmentation was performed. Forty‐nine patients were satisfied with the results after 3 months postoperatively. No serious complications were observed. Conclusions Hyaluronic acid filler injection in the space between the STF and DTF is a relatively safe and easy site for temple augmentation.

Background: With the growing popularity of rejuvenation, people are giving more concerns on their temporal depression which makes them look older and wishing to improve it by injection. The complex structure of the temporal region leads to a higher risk of failed injection. The temporal region is well understood based on cadaver anatomy, but few studies have described its spatial structure. The purpose of this study was to improve the efficacy and safety of temporal injection by studying the spatial structure of the soft tissues and major blood vessels in each layer of the temporal region. Methods: A total of 30 volunteers (24 men and 6 women, 60 temporal regions) were investigated. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the thickness of the temporal layers at the selected measurement points (A, B, C, D, E, and F). The maximum thickness of the temporal fat pads was also measured, and the layers, depths and diameters of the major temporal vessels (frontal branch of superficial temporal artery and vein, middle temporal vein and deep temporal artery) were measured. Results: At the various measurement points, the thickness and position of the skin, subcutaneous fat superficial fascia, and temporalis muscle did not differ significantly, whereas the superficial temporal fat pad and deep temporal fat pad differed significantly. The diameter and depth of the superficial temporal artery, superficial temporal vein, and deep temporal artery did not differ significantly, whereas the diameter of the middle temporal vein differed slightly, whereas the depth differed more obviously.Conclusions: The temporal structure is very complex, and understanding the spatial position of each layer of tissue plays an important role in improving the efficacy and safety of temporal filler injection. Ultrasound can help us to understand this information and assist in therapy.
