Honestly, at first I also

wondered why people would fill the

temples

Before reading

please check first

Q. Is it possible for the eyes to look bigger

without even pulling them?

A. Yes, it is. If you fill the sunken temples,

the outer corners of the eyes and the brow line

will be pulled up along with it.

We call this the tent effect.

Q. So you are not treating around the eyes,

but filling the side area?

A. That's right. The cause of eyes looking small

is often not the eyes themselves but a hollow

on the side.

They may look similar, but

the key is elsewhere

The eye-lifting tent effect means

filling the hollow temple (temple area)

with volume to support the outer corners of the eyes and the brow line

from below

It refers to a non-surgical lifting method.

It's different from the thread lifting or

eye-correction surgery that you may usually think of.

It is not pulled up by threads;

rather, the hollow area is filled so that

it rises naturally.

The key point of this article

The tent effect is the principle in which the

sunken temples are supported

with volume,

allowing the outer eye corners and brow line

to rise naturally.

That is why the eyes can look bigger without surgery that pulls them.

Why do some people

still look heavy

even after eye-correction surgery?

Last month, a customer in their early 40s came in,

and they told me they had eye-correction surgery

twice at another clinic.

But when they looked in the mirror, their eyes still

looked tired and heavy.

When I looked from the side,

the eyes themselves were well corrected,

but the temples were deeply hollow,

so the outer corners of the eyes

appeared to droop downward.

When the side area hollows out, the skin is pulled

outward and downward, making the outer corners

of the eyes look drooped too.

When a volumizing filler is placed above the periosteum in the temple,

the soft tissue above it is pushed upward,

changing the angle of the outer eye corner.

Dr. Wi Young-jin's Key Summary

The reason the eyes look small

is not always in the eyes themselves.

If the side area (temples) is hollow,

the outer corners of the eyes will droop too.

In cases like this, filling the sides is the answer

rather than treating the eyes.

This is how I categorize them in

the clinic

It's rare for someone who comes into the clinic to fit just one

type.

Usually, several causes are mixed together.

If too much volume is added to the temples,

the face can look wider, so

I prefer to build it up gradually.

Three questions I get most often in

the clinic

Q1. Which is better, filler or Sculptra?

If you need volume right away, filler.

If you want long-term collagen stimulation as well,

I recommend Sculptra.

Q2. How long does it last?

Do I need injections often?

Filler usually lasts 12 to 18 months,

and Sculptra around 2 years.

After that, yearly maintenance is usually enough.

Q3. Isn't it dangerous to inject the temples?

The temples have important blood vessels running through them,

so expertise is especially important.

It's safest to precisely target the layer above the periosteum.

That was Dr. Wi Young-jin.
