Filler Applications

Temple (Temporal) Filler

Supporting temple volume loss aims for a soft, balanced transition between the forehead, temple and cheekbone.

Overview

Temple filler is the application of hyaluronic acid based filler to appropriate anatomical areas in order to support volume loss in the temples that is either structural or becomes more pronounced with age.

Age-related changes in bone, muscle and fat tissue in the temple area can make this region look more hollow. In some people, temple hollowing is a natural feature of facial anatomy from a young age.

By supporting volume loss in the temple area, the aim is a softer and more balanced transition between the forehead, temple and cheekbone.

How Is Temple Filler Performed?

Before the procedure, the temple area and overall facial proportions are assessed to determine the anatomical areas to be treated and the amount of filler.

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied and left for about 15–20 minutes. Hyaluronic acid filler is then placed in the planned areas with a needle or cannula according to individual anatomy and the treatment plan.

The temple is an anatomically distinctive region containing important vascular and nerve structures. It is therefore important that the procedure is performed by a physician familiar with the anatomy of the area.

Eligibility

Who Is Temple Filler Suitable For?

Temple filler is particularly suitable for;

  • Those with hollowing in the temple area,
  • Those experiencing age-related loss of temple volume,
  • Those who want a softer transition between the forehead and the cheekbone,
  • Those whose face looks more tired or bony due to temple hollowing,
  • Those who want to balance the proportions between the upper and middle face

women and men. Suitability is determined by assessing not only the temple area but also the forehead, brows, cheekbone and mid-face structure together.

Cause

Why Does Temple Hollowing Occur?

Temple hollowing may be due to natural facial anatomy, or it may become more pronounced as a result of volume loss during ageing.

Age-related changes in the bone and soft tissues of the temple can alter the contour of the upper face and make the temples look more sunken.

Weight loss and individual facial structure can also affect how pronounced temple hollowing appears.

Scope

What Can Be Achieved With Temple Filler?

Depending on individual needs, temple filler can achieve;

  • Volume loss in the temple area can be supported,
  • A hollow temple appearance can be reduced,
  • The transition between the forehead and temple can be softened,
  • The contour between the temple and cheekbone can be balanced,
  • A more balanced appearance can be achieved in the upper face.

The aim is not to overfill the temple but to restore lost or anatomically deficient volume in harmony with the natural contours of the face.

Process

01

How Does Temple Filler Change the Face?

Marked temple hollowing can make the upper face look bonier and less voluminous.

With appropriate support of the temples, the transition between the forehead, temple and cheekbone can become softer and the overall facial contour more balanced.

The achievable change varies with the initial degree of temple volume loss and individual facial anatomy.

02

When Does Temple Filler Settle?

The effect becomes visible right after the procedure. Since mild oedema or tenderness may occur in the first days, it is usually appropriate to wait 1–2 weeks for the final appearance.

03

How Long Does Temple Filler Last?

Hyaluronic acid temple filler generally lasts about 1 year.

Duration varies with the properties of the product, the amount used and individual characteristics. Hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down by the body over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Temple Filler

Temple Filler Is Planned Individually

The temple should be assessed as a whole together with the forehead, brows and mid-face. Not every temple hollow requires the same amount of filler.

The amount of hyaluronic acid and the technique used are determined according to the degree of temple volume loss and individual facial anatomy, aiming to preserve natural facial contours.

Does temple filler puff up the face?+

The aim of temple filler is not to inflate the face but to support volume deficiency in the temple area. When applied in appropriate amounts, the goal is a softer and more balanced contour in the upper face.

Does temple filler lift the brows?+

Supporting the temple area can make the contour around the outer brow look better supported in some people. However, temple filler is not a direct brow lift procedure and the change depends on individual anatomy.

Does temple filler make the face look younger?+

Supporting age-related temple volume loss can help reduce a hollow, bony appearance in the upper face. The aim is not to change the face but to restore lost volume in keeping with natural proportions.

Is temple filler painful?+

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand. Brief stinging, pressure or tenderness may be felt during injection.

Is temple filler risky?+

The temple requires careful application because of its vascular and nerve structures. Rare but serious vascular complications can occur with filler procedures. Anatomical knowledge, appropriate product selection and correct injection technique are therefore important.

Can temple filler be dissolved?+

Yes. Hyaluronic acid temple fillers can be dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase when needed. The necessity of dissolving is assessed by the physician.

Can temple filler be applied to men?+

Yes. Temple filler can be applied to both women and men. In men the aim is to support volume loss while preserving the natural bone structure and masculine facial lines.

Can temple filler be performed during pregnancy?+

Filler for cosmetic purposes is not recommended during pregnancy. It is preferable to postpone the procedure until after pregnancy.
