Category: Treatment

In facial aesthetics, balance and symmetry form the cornerstones of the perception of beauty. Although the temple area is often overlooked in achieving this integrity, temporal hollowing that occurs over time can negatively affect the face's overall appearance. Temple filler is an effective and non-surgical aesthetic procedure applied to alleviate the effects of aging and to make the face appear younger, more vibrant, and more proportionate.

Performed with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, this procedure provides effective results in a short time while naturally supporting the facial oval. So, what exactly is temple filler, how is it applied, and for whom is it suitable? Here are all the details you're wondering about…

What is Temple Filler?

Temple filler is an aesthetic filling procedure applied to add volume to the temple area of the face and to eliminate hollowness. The most commonly used substance in this procedure is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, known for its water-retaining properties. When injected into the skin, it provides volume and gives a younger appearance.

How is Temple Filler Applied?

Before the application, the temple area is cleaned and a local anesthetic cream is applied to numb the area. Then, the filler material is injected under the skin using fine-tipped needles or cannulas. The procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes, and the patient can return to their daily life after the procedure.

Why is Temple Filler Done?

With age, the fatty tissue in the face decreases, and volume loss is observed, especially in the temple area. This can create a sunken and aged appearance in the upper part of the face. Thanks to temple filler:

  • The facial oval is accentuated,
  • A youthful and plump facial appearance is achieved,
  • The eyebrow area is supported upwards,
  • Overall facial symmetry is balanced.

Why Does Temple Hollowing Occur?

Temple hollowing usually occurs due to aging. Besides that:

  • Weakness in bone structure,
  • Genetic factors,
  • Excessive weight loss,
  • Smoking and environmental factors

Volume loss in the temple area can also occur due to reasons such as those.

How Long Is Temple Filler Effective?

The permanence of temple filler varies according to the type of filler used and the individual's metabolism rate. Generally, hyaluronic acid-based fillers are effective for 12 to 18 months. The person's lifestyle and skin type can also affect this duration.

Things to Consider After Temple Filler

There are some important points to consider after the procedure:

  • Makeup should not be applied for the first 24 hours.
  • Pressure should not be applied to the temples and massage should be avoided.
  • Aşırı sıcak duş, sauna ve solaryumdan uzak durulmalıdır.
  • Drinking plenty of water and keeping the skin moisturized supports the healing process.

How Many Sessions Does Temple Filler Take?

Effective results are generally obtained in a single session. However, a second session may be needed depending on the individual's needs. A control session is usually performed 2 weeks later, and additional filler can be applied if necessary.

Who is Temple Filler Suitable For?

Temple filler is suitable for anyone who has volume loss in their face, hollowing in the temple area, and prefers non-surgical aesthetic methods. It is generally applied to individuals over 25 years of age.
