For temporal filler placement with silicone implants, only a small incision in the temporal region is required to insert the implant. However, post-surgery, the implant may cause mild irritation to surrounding tissues, potentially leading to swelling and discomfort. Proper postoperative care can minimize these discomforts and enhance the final aesthetic outcome.
Key postoperative care for temporal filler augmentation includes:
1. Avoid all supplements or medications that may accelerate blood circulation, reduce clotting mechanisms, or impair wound healing—such as ginseng, aspirin, blood-activating agents, weight-loss drugs, or menstrual regulators. Consult your surgeon if needed.
2. Minimize physical activity after temporal filler placement to promote recovery and reduce swelling, though bed rest is not required.
3. Promptly inform your doctor if fluid accumulation occurs post-temporal silicone implant surgery.
4. Avoid getting the surgical area wet and refrain from manual pressure for one week post-surgery.
5. Avoid seafood, spicy foods, beef, lamb, tobacco, alcohol, and other irritating foods for one week after temporal silicone implant surgery.
