gauze roll
Explanation:
My guess is that it's a gauze roll/rolled up gauze, used for leverage, lift or support; probably placed underneath the cutaneous flap, but it's hard to know without more context.

rolled up tissue


Explanation:
Googling "muscular roll" gives a few results in which tissue (muscle) of the patient is apparently rolled up to be inserted under the skin during plastic surgery. This may be referred to as a "roll". Where it could be placed I do not know exactly. It could be the lip, given your reference to the temporalis muscle. In the example it found they did it for a nose.

"The nasal lining was released from the piriform aperture, and a new maxillary platform was created on the cleft side by rotating a muscular roll underneath the cleft nasal ala."

neutral  Dr. Andrew Frankland: Surely such a roll wouldn't be "placed". To my mind "placed" means "inserted".

neutral  Lirka: I would be very surprised if it were indeed "tissue". VERY.
