Temple Filler

Dermal fillers can restore temples and take years off your face.

About Temple Filler

Overview

As we age, the temples lose volume due to a decrease in fat pads, collagen, and bone. The natural concavity of the temples can cause them to sink faster than other parts of the face. Sunken temples can worsen crow’s-feet, create a heavy brow, and alter the overall shape of the face. Dermal fillers are a way to restore volume to the temples, resulting in a more youthful appearance. This procedure softens the face and promotes a subtle rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidate

Ideal candidates for temple fillers are healthy adults seeking to treat:

lines/wrinkles in the area
lift their eyes
add volume to their temples

Individuals with round faces may not see positive results from plumping the temples, as it could make their faces more full.

What to Expect

Prior to the procedure, patients will consult with a healthcare professional to address their specific requirements.

The process is generally straightforward and usually not associated with significant discomfort.

However, as with any injection procedure, patients may experience some mild discomfort due to the use of a needle during the process, as well as potential temporary discomfort at the site of injection post-procedure.

Furthermore, healthcare providers may opt to administer topical anesthesia or an injected numbing agent to mitigate any discomfort.

The entire procedure typically lasts less than 20 minutes.

Recovery

It is advised to refrain from disturbing the treated area following a cosmetic procedure. Touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the area can potentially displace the filler or lead to complications.

Additionally, it is recommended to avoid facials or massages for the first two weeks post-treatment.

Similarly, intense physical activity should be minimized for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Vigorous exercise can increase blood flow, potentially causing the filler to move from the treatment area.

Common side effects such as mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site can be alleviated by using a cold pack. It is suggested to avoid aspirin and alcohol, as they can exacerbate bruising.

Furthermore, exposure to sun and heat should be limited as they can worsen swelling or discomfort post-treatment.

It is advisable to strictly follow the aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Results

You can typically see results from temple filler immediately after the procedure, as the filler adds volume to the treated area and smooths out the appearance of wrinkles and hollows.

The results of temple fillers are typically long-lasting 12-24 months, although touch-ups may be required to maintain results.

Safety Profile

Certain areas of the face are riskier than others for filler injections due to the vasculature of the region. The temples, in particular, are considered high-risk for complications. Blood vessels in the temple area can have connections to vessels that feed the retina, posing a significant risk.

It is crucial for injectors to have a thorough understanding of temple anatomy and to target specific planes when injecting filler to avoid complications.

Filler should only be placed at safe depths where there are no vessels present.

Cost

The cost of filler is subject to variation based on the quantity required and the geographical location of the procedure.

Typically, the average amount of filler required for temple areas ranges from 2 to 4 syringes.

The average cost of filler used in temple areas falls within the range of $700 to $1000 per syringe.
