Temporal augmentation
Concavity in the temporal area is often referred to as “temporal hollowing.” It reflects a deficiency in the bulk of the temporalis muscle, the temporal fat pad, and/or an underlying bone defect (Fig. 6.1).
ETIOLOGY OF TEMPORAL HOLLOWING
When the temporal area has not been surgically violated, concavity gradually appears with senescence.1 It may appear in patients with low body fat, hence less temporal fat, and after massive weight loss. It may occur as a result of HIV-asso­ciated lipodystrophy and radiation-induced soft tissue atrophy. In other healthy patients, prominent adjacent skeletal contour may diminish the relative projec­tion of the temporal soft tissues. Therefore, augmenting the contours of the tem­poral area can have a rejuvenating and/or a balancing effect on facial appearance.
Both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures that involve the temporal area may result in temporal hollowing. Aesthetic surgeries that access the midface via separation of the temporal fascial planes can also result in depression in the temporal fossa. Temporal depressions also occur after neurosurgical procedures during temporal or pterional craniotomy where detachment of the temporalis muscle from its origin at the temporal crest or the lateral orbital rim is required. Reattachment of temporalis muscle often yields suboptimal results, leading to significant depressions beneath the temporal line. Moreover, the deformity is exaggerated by the overlying soft tissues that are thinned out due to atrophy or posttraumatic scarring. Temporal augmentation can restore the presurgical appearance in these patients.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Several procedures have been described to augment the contour of the temporal area. These include the use of various alloplastic implants, free fat grafting, injec­tion of various absorbable and permanent filler materials, and in some instances, vascularized flaps.
Temporal augmentation with autologous fat grafting has been associated with difficult irregularities.2 In fact, the temporal region is one of the subunits with the lowest satisfaction rate after facial fat grafting.3 Patients with thick skin generally experience the best results with fat injection; however, thick skin is not a typical quality in patients with temporal hollowing due to senescence. Besides skin irregularities and edema,2 other severe, but rare, complications such as blindness and cerebral fat embolism have been reported. knowledge of the clinical anatomy of the temporal region is crucial for the safe performance of temporal fat grafting.

Similarly, temporal augmentation with filler materials (e.g., hyaluronic acid) produces similar contour irregularities. Adopting the technique of diluting calcium-based fillers for the dorsum of the hand, Lambros described a tech­nique for filling the temples with highly diluted hyaluronic acid.2 This dilution method allows the filler to be distributed more evenly in the temporal area, resulting in a more satisfactory outcome.

Augmenting the temporal region with various alloplastic materials has been described. Contour irregularities at the interface of the implant edge and native anatomy are not uncommon. This chapter describes the senior author’s use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) to fill depressions in the temporal area.8 In instances when no previous surgery has been performed or when the temporal area has served as a dissection plane to access adjacent areas (e.g., subperiosteal facelift), the implant material is placed beneath the temporal muscle through a limited incision in the hair-bearing scalp. When previous reconstructive surgery has been performed in the temporal area, the surgi­cal incision scars are used to access the area of depression for placement of PMMA over the temporal muscle. The author’s techniques using PMMA to reconstruct temporal contour depressions have been reliable, durable, and relatively free of complications.

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE: AESTHETIC TEMPORAL AUGMENTATION
Access
A 5- to 6-cm vertical incision is made above the helix, within the hair-bear­ing temporal scalp. The scalp flap is undermined anteriorly for 2 to 3 cm before the deep temporal fascia and the underlying temporalis muscle are incised along the direction of the vertically oriented muscle fibers. The tem­poralis muscle is split and dissection is continued to reach the temporal fossa (Fig. 6.2A).

Formation of submuscular pocket
After reaching the temporal bone, a space between the temporalis muscle
and the underlying temporal bone is created (Fig. 6.2B). The dissection is done directly on the temporal bone using the coagulation mode of the elec­trocautery device. The dimensions of the pocket will define the extent of aug­mentation. Transversely, the area of undermining will extend from the lateral orbital rim anteriorly to just behind the hairline posteriorly. Vertically, the dissection extends from the temporal crest to just above the zygomatic arch. Extending the dissection beneath the zygomatic arch can result in impinge­ment of the temporal implant on the condyle or coronoid process of the mandible. 
Shaping the implant
PMMA is prepared by mixing the powdered polymer with the liquid polymer. After the mixture has achieved a putty-like consistency, it is placed in the sub­muscular pocket (Fig. 6.3). Before the PMMA hardens, it is molded to its desired shape by manipulating the overlying soft tissues so that they project to the same

level as the lateral orbital rim. Any areas of overcorr ection (not uncommon lat­erally after molding the material to be flush with the lateral orbital rim) are revised with a contouring burr. The muscle and the temporal fascia are reap­proximated and the scalp incision is closed in layers after a satisfactory tempo­ral contour has been achieved. 
Clinical example
A 35-year-old man presented with asymmetry and imbalance of his facial con­tour. He was displeased with the bitemporal hollowing, which he felt was exag­gerating the excessive width of his preauricular contour. In two procedures, he underwent augmentation of the posterior/inferior mandible, augmentation of the infraorbital rim, superficial parotidectomy, facelift, and temporal augmen­tation using PMMA via the submuscular approach (Fig. 6.4).

It is better to underaugment the temporal contour – since any implant undercorrection will be an improvement, while any contour excess is distracting.

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE: POSTSURGICAL TEMPORAL MUSCLE VIOLATION
Access
Surgical scars from the previous procedure are utilized to access the temporal depression. A scalp flap is raised extending to the lateral orbital rim. The level of dissection is determined by the clinical situation but the path of the frontal branch of the facial nerve is always protected. 
Temporalis muscle reattachment
Postsurgical detraction of the temporalis muscle from the temporal crest results in two contour deformities: a depression at the superior aspect of the temp­oral fossa (between the temporal crest and the retracted superior border of the temporalis muscle), and a bulge just above the zygomatic arch as a result of the descent of the temporalis muscle belly. Mobilization of the temporalis muscle and its reattachment at the temporal crest eliminates the inferior bulge, but only mildly improves the more superior temporal depression. 
Implant placement and immobilization
Prior to implant placement, two titanium screws (8 to 10 mm in length) are placed into the lateral aspect of the lateral orbital rim, such that the screw head and a portion of the screw shaft protrude from the rim surface (Fig. 6.5). These screws will become embedded in the PMMA and serve as anchors to prevent implant movement. The PMMA is prepared and allowed to cure until it is putty­like in consistency. It is then placed over any contour deficiencies to abut the lateral orbital rim (Fig. 6.6). The scalp flap is placed over the reconstructed area and molding of the PMMA is performed over the soft tissues. This maneuver

allows all the deficiencies in the temporal area (bone, muscle, and scalp) to be addressed and corrected during implant contouring. Areas of overcorrection are revised with a contouring burr. A suction drain is placed, which exits from a separate stab-wound incision. The scalp incision is closed in layers. 
Clinical example
A 36-year-old female presented with temporal hollowing after craniotomy to repair a cerebral aneurysm. The temporal hollowing was corrected, filling the depression with PMMA over the temporalis muscle (Fig. 6.7).

a predictable and permanent result. When it is placed beneath the temporalis muscle, the risk of damage to the frontal branch of the facial nerve is minimized.
Similar to that described by Ousterhout,9 the senior author’s experience has shown that it is better to undercorrect than to overcorrect temporal contour; almost any small amount of implant material placed beneath the temporalis muscle results in contour improvement. Augmentation beyond the normal limits of the temporal projection results in an easily recognizable abnormal contour (Fig. 6.8). Ousterhout also recommended augmenting each side of the temporal area at a time. Simultane­ous augmentation of areas on opposite sides of the head with a semi-liquid, rapidly curing material is technically challenging. It predisposes to contour imperfections resulting from gravitational and head-positioning effects on the curing material.

Internal orbit
The size and shape of the internal orbit determines orbital volume and the posi­tion of the eye. An increase in orbital volume results in enophthalmos – the recession of the ocular globe within the bony orbit. The principal mechanism in its development is the displacement of a relatively constant volume of orbital soft tissue into an enlarged bony orbit. Posttraumatic fat atrophy and scar con­tracture are real, but less important, factors in causing a mismatch of soft tissue and orbital volume. on the globe, tending to deepen the superior tarsal fold and cause a lowering or pseudoptosis of the upper lid (Fig. 7.1). Two to three millimeters of enophthal­mos is clinically detectable, and more than 5 mm is disfiguring.
Enophthalmos may result from fractures involving only the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. These are termed “pure blowout” fractures. More often, enophthalmos is part of an orbital deformity whereby not only the internal orbit is disrupted, but also the adjacent facial skeleton. The internal orbit disruption is referred to as an “impure blowout” fracture in these situations.
Because posttraumatic enophthalmos is primarily due to damage of the inter­nal orbit, the treatment strategy for restoring eye position is anatomic skeletal reconstruction. This is best accomplished by defining the location and extent of injury preoperatively with computed tomographic (CT) scans, widely expos­ing the injured area, retrieving displaced orbital soft tissues, and replacing the invariably comminuted fractured skeleton.

ORBITAL ANATOMY
The internal orbit may be conceptualized as a modified pyramid with an apex, a base, and four walls. The optic foramen, which transmits the optic nerve and the ophthalmic artery, forms the apex of the pyramid. It is located at the farthest superior medial portion of the internal orbit. The base of the pyramid is formed by the orbital rims. The roof, floor, medial wall, and lateral wall constitute the pyramid’s walls. While the entire lateral wall consists of thick bone created by the articulation of the greater wing of the sphenoid and the orbital process of the zygoma, the floor, medial wall, and roof vary in their thickness. They can be divided into concentric thirds based on bone thickness. The anterior third of the internal orbit consists of increasingly thicker bone as it merges with the orbital rim. The posterior third also consists of thick bone with relatively flat walls. The middle third consists of thin bone and allows this portion of the orbit to act as a crush zone, thereby protecting the optic nerve and globe by absorbing impact forces. The floor medial to the infra­orbital canal and the inferior portion of the medial wall is typically involved in the “blowout” fracture. This area has a convex shape that produces a

constriction behind the globe (Fig. 7.2). Loss of this convexity transforms the internal orbit shape from pyramidal to spherical, increasing orbital volume and tending towards enophthalmos (Fig. 7.3). Certain injuries, usually involv­ing the lateral orbital wall or roof, may result in inward displacement of larger fracture segments. These “blow-in” fractures decrease orbital volume, result­ing in globe proptosis.
There are nine openings within each orbit. Most important are the optic foramen, and the superior and the inferior orbital fissures. The optic fora­men, located at the apex, transmits the optic nerve. The superior orbital fis­sure, located between the roof and the lateral wall near the apex, transmits the oculomotor, the trochlear, the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal, and the abducent nerves. The inferior orbital fissure separates the lateral wall from the

poral, and pterygopalatine fossae. It transmits the maxillary nerve, its zygo­matic branch, and the ascending branches from its sphenopalatine branch. It also transmits the infraorbital vessels and the vein that connects the inferior ophthalmic vein with the pterygoid venous plexus. The supraorbital foramen, infraorbital canal, anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina, and zygomatic foramen transmit their respective neurovascular structures. There is also a canal for the nasolacrimal duct. 
PREOPERATIVE EVALUATION
Physical examination
The clinical diagnosis of significant internal orbital disruption is based on globe malposition. In the uninjured state, the cornea extends approximately 16 to 17 mm anterior to the lateral orbital rim. Immediately after injury, however, globe position may appear normal or proptotic, owing to soft tissue swelling. Without significant edema, a difference in globe position is most easily determined by viewing the globe from the worm’s eye. On frontal view, a deepening of the supratarsal sulcus and a lowering of the upper lid margin (pseudoptosis) reflects an increase in orbital volume and subsequent recession of the globe (Fig. 7.1). When the lateral orbital rim is intact (isolated floor or medial wall blowout fractures), the severity of enophthalmos can be determined with a Hertel exophthalmometer, which measures the difference between the anterior corneal surface and the lateral orbital rim. 
Operative technique
Radiologic imaging
CT imaging best determines the presence and extent of injury. Plain X-rays will confirm the presence of fractures but will not define the injury or the status of the soft tissues. The ideal preoperative evaluation consists of thin-slice axial, coronal, and sagittal CT sections using both bone and soft tissue windows. By adding together the consecutive CT slices where a defect appears, one can deter­mine the size of a floor or wall injury. Defects greater than 25% of the orbital floor will result in clinically measurable enophthalmos. Those involving more than half of the floor will result in obvious enophthalmos. Diplopia may result from eye muscle contusion or muscle entrapment. This can be differentiated on physical exam using the forced duction test and, often, by high-resolution CT scan. 
OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE
Timing
In the acute phase, CT findings coupled with forced duction testing provide the best guide to the need for surgery.
If surgery is thought appropriate, it should be performed soon after injury, when dissection is more straightforward, and soft tissue scarring and contrac­ture are less problematic. Late and secondary reconstructions are less successful than appropriate reconstruction performed in the acute phase. When indica­tions for acute management are unclear, exploration is performed if enophthal­mos greater than 2 mm develops at any time within the first 6 weeks following

injury.
