Temporal Reduction Surgery

 

657. <Temporal Reduction Surgery>

This procedure slims the sides of the head by reducing the size of the temples, creating a narrower and more balanced facial contour. A wide temporal area can be caused by thick temporal muscles, excess temporal fat, or prominent temporal bone. A facial bone CT is often used to assess the cause.

If the temporal muscle is thick, we may partially release it from the bone or perform temporal fasciotomy—loosening the fascia to reduce muscle tension over time. Botox can also be used for a non-surgical reduction.

In cases where the temporal bone itself is thick, part of the bone can be shaved, often combined with muscle reduction, for a more dramatic and visible result.

Why does the temporal region thicken? It's often linked to chronic stress, anxiety, or clenching habits—grinding teeth or chewing hard food as a way of tension release. Over generations, a highly obedient or rigid lifestyle can lead to increased activity in the temporal lobe, possibly influencing skull development. This makes the head wider in shape, especially in cultures with vertical, top-down social structures.

Temporal reduction is not brain surgery—but it does involve the bone that protects your brain, so the decision should be made with care and self-understanding.

[Temporal reduction reshapes the bone and muscle surrounding your temporal lobe.]
