Temple Filler: The Area Almost Nobody Thinks About

Ask someone what they'd change about their face, and you'll hear about the lines around the eyes, the lips, or the jaw. Almost no one says "my temples." And yet, for a lot of people, the temples are where the change began. They just didn't have a name for it.

What people notice, without knowing why

It's often something like: "I look more tired lately." Or: "My face looks a little more angular than it used to." Or simply: "Something looks different in photos, and I can't say what."

The answer is sometimes the temples. These are the soft areas at the sides of the forehead, between the eyes and the hairline. Over time they can lose volume, and the hollowing makes the skull look more prominent and the face look a little

more drawn.

What temple filler does

A small amount of hyaluronic acid filler restores soft volume in the hollow. The upper face looks smoother and more balanced, and the eyes and brow often look more rested, even though we never touched them. It's one of those treatments where the change is easy to feel and hard to point to. People don't say "your temples look different." They say you look well.

What it isn't

It isn't a lift, and it doesn't change the skin itself. It also isn't for everyone. Some people have naturally flat temples and are perfectly happy with them, and some hollowing is better addressed in other ways.

Staying yourself

The goal is never a rounded, overfilled temple. It's a gentle, natural contour that looks like your face did a few years ago, only softer.

FAQ

Why do temples hollow? Fat and soft tissue in the area thin with time, and bone structure also plays a part.

Will temple filler change how I look? It should look like a more rested version of you, not like a different face.

How long does it last? Often many months to a year or longer, depending on the individual and product.
