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 implants 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 costs. 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 ¹⁾.
