I know it's common knowledge here that subcision of the temples (sides of the head) is a big no-no because of the location of an important facial nerve however how exactly do you treat this area with the scars on this part of the body have volume loss or are tethered? I've seen some of Dr. Davin Lim's videos where he doesn't subcise the scar but uses filler instead. Is that the MO for scars in this area? On the other hand I saw a dermatologist subcise the temples with no filler whatsoever, pulling the syringe in-and-out and using the fan like motion to break up the scar. I could only watch in anxiety!
Previously, I tried to dermastamp using the Derminator at 2.5 mm/fast settings and then suction for two weeks straight as much as I could. Ikindasaw results but now and again not really. Has this worked better for you?
How did you dermatologists approach this area if you have scars here? I've already tackled the icepicks and narrow boxcar scars on my temples with TCA Cross so no problem there.

What type of scars are we talking about? For the most part, you can usually feel the scar bands underneath the skin if they're tethered. But with so little skin to begin with, temples and the forehead don't have as much tethering as the cheek, for example,where there are more meat.

I've had some success afterapplying 100%. It took a few tries though. So I suggest you keep applying TCA cross to wherever there are pits. For rolling scars, stretch the skin tight and apply 50% as close to the pits.

Whowas your Doctor'?
