====== Silicone implant for temporal hollowing ======


Severe [[temporal hollowing]] [[deformity]] can occur in patients who undergo [[craniectomy]] after [[intracranial hemorrhage]]. [[Reconstruction]] surgery for cosmetic purposes using [[silicone implant]]s in patients with temporal hollowing deformities after [[craniectomy]] is advantageous because the procedure is simple and rapid, with a short [[recovery]] time, resulting in lower overall treatment [[cost]]s. Of paramount importance, this option yields highly satisfactory results for patients. Kim et al. present three cases from [[Yangsan]] of simple and fast surgery using silicone implants where highly satisfactory outcomes were obtained
