The temple is the area between the top of the cheekbone and the brow bone that is next to the eye. Volume loss in this area is often overlooked. Through the aging process, you can develop sunken, hollow temples. Most temples do have a slight concavity, but excess concavity disrupts the frame or contour of the face. You can replace volume loss and contour the temples using dermal filler. Dermal fillers used in this area include, Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, and Radiesse. Treating hollowing of the temples with filler will give your face a more youthful appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is temple augmentation?
Temple augmentation is a dermal filler treatment that restores volume to hollow or sunken temples. Replacing lost volume can improve facial balance, soften hollowing, and create a smoother transition between the forehead, temples, and cheeks.
Why do temples become hollow?
Temple hollowing is a natural part of aging. Over time, collagen, fat, and even bone volume decrease, causing the temples to lose structural support and develop a more concave appearance. Genetics and significant weight loss can also contribute to temple hollowing.
What filler is used for temple augmentation?
Depending on your anatomy and treatment goals, Michelle may recommend Restylane Lyft or Radiesse. The product selection is individualized to provide the safest, most natural-looking outcome.
How long does temple filler last?
Results vary depending on the filler used and your body’s natural metabolism, but many patients enjoy results lasting 9 to 12 months before considering maintenance treatment.
Does temple filler lift the face?
Restoring volume to the temples can create the appearance of a subtle lift by improving facial balance and supporting the upper face. However, temple filler is not a replacement for a surgical facelift or skin-tightening treatment. During your consultation, Michelle will discuss what type of improvement you can realistically expect.
Is temple augmentation safe?
Temple filler is an advanced treatment that requires a thorough understanding of facial anatomy because important blood vessels travel through this area. Michelle carefully evaluates each patient and uses advanced injection techniques to prioritize both safety and natural-looking results.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for several days after treatment. These effects are temporary, and most patients return to normal activities shortly after their appointment.
Am I a good candidate for temple augmentation?
If you’ve noticed hollow temples, a narrowing of the upper face, or an overall loss of youthful facial contours, you may be an excellent candidate. During your consultation, Michelle will evaluate your facial anatomy and determine whether temple filler should be performed on its own or as part of a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
