What is Temple Filler?

Temple Filler is a non-surgical technique which uses Dermal Filler to add volume to the temples, as well as adding a subtle lift to the upper face.

As we age it is normal to lose volume around the temples and for this area to become sunken and hollow. This is partly due to the skin in this area being delicate, and the underlying muscle being very thin, so ageing is more noticeable. Significant weight loss can also be a factor which causes the temples to hollow.

Hollowed temples can also exacerbate the appearance of ageing around the eyes, and contribute to sagging cheekbones. By injecting Dermal Filler into the temples it can help to improve the appearance of the overall face through one minor and effective procedure. 

Where Are Your Temples?

The temples lie to the side of your eyes, above your cheekbones and between your ear and forehead. Their appearance can have a dramatic impact on the rest of your face as hollowing temples can make ageing in other areas of the face look more extreme.  

The temples are a very sensitive area of the face and head as they contain many blood vessels and nerves. This means it is very important to find an experienced and qualified medical professional to carry out any injectable treatments around the temples.

Benefits of Temple Filler

Many people choose to undergo Temple Dermal Filler for a number of reasons and the treatment has many benefits:

• Lifted upper face – By injecting Dermal Filler into the temple area of the face, it results in a subtle lift to the upper face. This is less invasive than options such as a surgical Facelift, Brow Lift or a Fox Eye Lift but offers a natural looking, youthful lift to the eyes and cheeks. 
• Restored facial proportions – As we get older, the temples are one of the first areas we normally lose volume and notice the signs of ageing. Hollowed temples can make the face look noticeably older and can also exacerbate other concerns in the mid and upper portions of the face. Temple Fillers restore the youthful appearance of the face in the upper and mid-sections. 
• High impact treatment – The temples are a relatively small area of the face, however the impact that ageing has here can be quite dramatic. This is because this area is close to other areas such as the eyes and cheeks which are also impacted by ageing, but also because hollowing around the temples can change the shape of the upper face. Injecting a small amount of Dermal Filler into the temples is a very quick treatment, however it has a positive impact on the whole appearance of the face. 
• Immediate results – Something that makes Dermal Filler an incredibly popular treatment is that the results are almost immediate. Although you will need to wait for any swelling or bruising to subside, you will be able to see an immediate improvement in volume and facial contours as soon as the injections are completed. 
• Minimal downtime – Following Temple Filler, you can expect some swelling and bruising, but this will resolve within 10 days. However, this won’t impact your ability to carry out your normal day to day activities or prevent you from returning to work. 

What Conditions Can Temple Filler Treat?

Temple Filler has a highly positive impact on the whole face, although it is only treating a small area. This means it can improve and address a number of concerns patients may have.

Sagging Cheeks and Dropping Cheekbones 

Loss of volume in the temples causes the skin in the upper area of the face to sag and push down on the cheeks. In turn, this causes the cheeks to begin to sag and the cheekbones to drop. High cheekbones are another marker of youth and as the cheeks sag, it can create a sad, or closed appearance to the face which affects people’s confidence. A small amount of Dermal Filler in the temples provides support for the tissue in the upper face, which helps to create a lifted appearance to the cheeks.

Crow’s Feet 

Crow’s Feet are the fine lines which develop with age that radiate out from the outer corner of the eyes. When we smile, they can make the eyes look smaller. Sagging skin around the temples can make Crow’s Feet appear much stronger. By carrying out a Temple Lift using Dermal Filler this can lift the outer eyes smoothing and reducing the appearance of Crow’s Feet.

Eye Bags 

Undereye Bags are a common concern for many people regardless of age – although ageing and weight loss can worsen their appearance. Their severity can vary from minor sagging and wrinkles under the eye, to Festoons which can have a serious impact on someone’s confidence and wellbeing. Filler in the temples to lift the eyes, can help to reduce the appearance of minor eye bags and support the skin and muscle around the temple area, which in some cases, with regular maintenance may help to stop the eye bags from getting worse.
