Temple augmentation surgery has become an advanced, effective aesthetic solution that successfully corrects sunken, narrow temples—a condition that often makes the face look aged and imbalanced. At Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, temple augmentation procedures strictly follow standardized protocols, enabling a rapid recovery within 7–10 days thanks to modern technology. This is perfectly suited for overseas Vietnamese clients looking to return home to Vietnam for cosmetic procedures while maximizing savings on both time and costs.
Temple augmentation surgery is a cosmetic procedure that uses two silicone implants custom-shaped by the doctor according to each individual’s condition. The doctor then inserts the implant material through a very small incision near the hairline to fill out the area, creating balance and harmony across the entire face.
Silicone material is selected due to its flexibility and safety, creating soft, natural contours tailored to each region of the temple. Temple augmentation surgery can improve aesthetically lacking, hollow temple areas, restoring fullness and smoothness.
Thanks to advanced techniques and the development of modern medicine, using silicone for temple augmentation has become a popular and safe plastic surgery solution, instilling confidence in individuals seeking to enhance their appearance.
Silicone temple augmentation surgery is typically indicated for individuals with hollows on one or both temples due to genetic anatomy, or temple hollowing caused by trauma or accidents. People with sunken temples often appear to have high cheekbones, making the face look asymmetrical, aged, and tired.
Correcting sunken temples through silicone implant augmentation helps restore facial balance and harmony, bringing about a younger, brighter appearance.
Clients undergoing temple augmentation at Kangnam Hospital experience the following 5-step process:
Step 1: Examination and Consultation with the Doctor: The doctor inspects the temple region, evaluating the degree of temple hollowing to design an optimal treatment plan.
Step 2: General Health Check for the Client: The doctor checks vital health parameters and requests information regarding medical history, medication use, and other issues to ensure the client meets all conditions for a safe surgical procedure.
Step 3: Anesthetic Check and Disinfection: The doctor tests local anesthetics and performs disinfection to ensure a smooth, minimally painful surgery. The incision point for inserting the implant material is then marked to guarantee natural, long-lasting aesthetic results.
Step 4: Subcutaneous Local Anesthesia: The doctor administers subcutaneous anesthesia for pain relief before inserting the silicone material into the temple area. During this process, the doctor fine-tunes the positioning according to facial proportions to shape the implant material harmoniously with the face.
Step 5: Post-Operative Care Guidance: The client receives comprehensive care instructions and advice from the doctor. This helps minimize swelling, pain, and promotes fast recovery after cosmetic surgery.
Kangnam Hospital is highly evaluated by overseas Vietnamese clients for its attentive post-operative care service. Especially for overseas Vietnamese, Kangnam offers a specialized post-operative care regimen that helps reduce swelling and pain quickly, doubling recovery speed while saving both time and expense during their cosmetic trip back home.
Cindy Nguyen (25 years old, overseas Vietnamese from Canada), who underwent temple augmentation at Kangnam, shared: “Having cosmetic surgery at Kangnam provided me with great post-operative care. The nurses were extremely attentive, looking after my meals and sleep, helping me recover my health quickly. After just 1 week, I had an appointment for stitch removal; the surgical area was stable, and I was able to return to Canada after only 10 days. This surprised me greatly and made me immensely grateful to Kangnam’s doctors. I had originally planned for a 20-day trip to Vietnam for cosmetics, but in reality, it only took 10 days.”

Temple augmentation surgery is a relatively straightforward cosmetic procedure with high safety standards that poses no danger to health. At Kangnam Hospital, the silicone temple filling process adheres strictly to medical standards, always prioritizing client health. Kangnam also prioritizes adopting new technologies to minimize risks and deliver optimal results for every client.
If not performed under standard protocols or if performed by an inexperienced surgeon, issues such as allergic reactions, infections, or implant displacement may occur, leading to unsatisfied post-operative results.
Therefore, choosing a reputable cosmetic facility is a critical factor. Especially for overseas compatriots who have limited time when returning to Vietnam for aesthetics, choosing an unprofessional address can result in lost time and higher expenses.
Temple augmentation through surgery is not dangerous to health
Master, Doctor Victor Vu (Vu Huu Chinh), states that temple augmentation at Kangnam Hospital does not cause pain because doctors perform pain management techniques via local anesthesia. The surgical process proceeds gently without discomfort, allowing clients to feel completely at ease.
Post-surgery, clients may experience mild soreness or a burning sensation in the surgical area. However, this is typically managed effectively with pain medication and will diminish rapidly as the wound heals (within just 5–7 days).
Sandy Khuong (27 years old, overseas Vietnamese from Germany) asked: “I am planning to return to Vietnam for high temple augmentation but don’t have much time. Taking advantage of a short 2-3 week vacation, I want to choose a reputable facility with good technology for faster healing. I wonder if recovery time after temple augmentation at Kangnam takes long? Please help answer this for me.”
Master, Doctor Charlie Tran further shared that at Kangnam Hospital, most clients undergoing temple augmentation surgery recover quickly within 1–2 weeks. Kangnam utilizes high-quality implant materials from reputable sources that easily stabilize within the temple area without shifting. Furthermore, Kangnam applies modern techniques and offers rapid-recovery anti-swelling packages tailored for overseas Vietnamese clients.
In Sandy Khuong’s case, she can comfortably return to Kangnam for aesthetics and be ready to fly back after just 1–2 weeks. There will even be remaining time to enjoy visiting famous scenic landmarks in Vietnam.

Good post-operative care following temple augmentation ensures a rapid recovery and optimal aesthetic results. Doctors typically recommend the following precautions:
Avoid physical contact or strong impacts on the temple area during the initial post-operative period.
Use plastic cotton swabs dipped in 0.9% Sodium Chloride (saline solution) to clean the wound and remove all residue or discharge around the sutures. Afterward, disinfect the wound with 10% Povidone-Iodine, keeping the surgical site clean to minimize infection risks.
Apply a thin layer of Gentamicin 0.3% ointment to the sutured area to help prevent infection and support wound healing. If L.C.E cream is not used, Gentamicin ointment is a common alternative for post-operative care.
During the first 2 days post-surgery, apply cold compresses to the surgical area 5–7 times per day, for about 15–20 minutes each session. Cold compresses effectively reduce swelling and pain.
Avoid washing your face with facial cleansers or applying cosmetics directly over the wound. If cosmetics are necessary, avoid the temple area to facilitate fast wound healing.
Ensure adequate water intake and maintain a healthy nutritional diet post-surgery. This enhances the recovery process and supports overall health.
Avoid adventurous activities or direct physical impacts on the augmented temple region.
If prescribed pain relievers or other post-operative care medications, use them strictly according to the doctor’s dosage and instructions.
Avoid contact or strong impact on the temple area
Temple augmentation using silicone material is an aesthetic method capable of maintaining permanent results provided clients maintain scientific care habits, high-quality silicone is used, and the surgeon executes proper techniques.
Silicone material used for temple augmentation is sturdy and stable. Over time, minor subtle changes may occur in the augmented area, but this is normal and typically does not significantly impact overall aesthetic results.
Temple augmentation surgery is an advanced cosmetic method that creates balance and facial harmony. If you are dissatisfied with sunken, asymmetrical temples, temple augmentation is worth considering to help your face become harmonious, balanced, and beautifully contoured.
