What Is Temple Filler and Why Is It Done?

Temple filler is a medical aesthetic procedure used to replace volume lost in the temple area and to balance the lines of the face. With age the temples can become hollow, which can make the face look more tired or older. Filler can give the area a fuller look.

The temple area plays a part in how the face looks. Volume lost here can affect the facial contour.

What Is Temple Filler Used For?

  • Reducing hollowing in the temple area
  • Balancing the facial lines
  • Giving the face a younger, livelier look
  • Supporting the cheekbone and midface area
  • Making the facial contour more aesthetic

For how filler is applied, what to watch for afterwards and how long it lasts, see our article What Is Filler?

The Procedure

  • A numbing cream may be applied beforehand
  • The injection is made into the temple area with a fine needle or a cannula
  • The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes
  • You can return to social life the same day
Why the Technique Matters The temple area is sensitive because of its blood vessels. A wrong technique or depth can lead to unwanted results, so the procedure should be done by a physician trained for this area.

Looking at the Whole Face

Temple filler targets volume in the temple area and does not correct structural concerns such as the shape of the nose or sagging eyelids. For changes like these, surgical options such as rhinoplasty in Ankara or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may be discussed. Your whole face is assessed at the consultation, and the method that suits you is chosen together.
