TLDR Using ultrasound to guide temple filler injections improves safety and accuracy.
The document describes a technique for ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid filler injections in the temple area to improve facial balance and appearance while minimizing risks such as vascular occlusion, skin necrosis, and hair loss. The method involves using a linear ultrasound transducer and a 22-gauge cannula to place filler in the interfascial space between the deep and superficial temporal fascia layers. This approach allows for real-time visualization of the cannula and filler deposition, enhancing safety and precision. The technique requires specialized equipment and expertise but offers significant advantages in terms of safety and aesthetic outcomes.
