What Is Temple (Temporal) Filler?

Temple filler is an aesthetic procedure applied to restore volume to the temples that have lost fullness over time and to eliminate the hollow look in the upper face. With this treatment, we achieve a more balanced, youthful, and healthy facial appearance.

Why Does Volume Loss Occur in the Temple Area?

With aging, there is a decrease in subcutaneous fat and regression in the bony structure. This leads to hollowing in the temple area and a harsher facial contour. Genetic predisposition, weight loss, and stress can accelerate this process.

How Is Temple Filler Performed?

A topical anesthetic cream is applied beforehand. Then, the filler is carefully injected into the temple area using a cannula or fine needle. The procedure takes about 15–20 minutes, and patients can typically return to daily life immediately afterward.

What Are the Benefits of Temple Filler?

With temple filler:

  • The face appears more oval and balanced,
  • The eye area looks more refreshed,
  • The eyebrows can assume a slightly lifted position,
  • The overall expression appears younger,
  • The eye area looks more revitalized,
  • The “tired and hollow” look of the face is significantly reduced.

Who Is a Candidate for Temple Filler?

Any adult experiencing volume loss or hollowness in the temples, or facial disproportions related to this area, can be a good candidate. It is more commonly performed in individuals aged 30 and above.

Who Is Not Suitable for Temple Filler?

We do not perform this procedure on individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active skin infections, people with known allergies to filler substances, or those with immune system disorders. A preliminary evaluation is always necessary.

Is Temple Filler Suitable for All Skin Types?

Yes, temple filler can be safely applied to all skin types. Skin type is not an obstacle for this procedure; however, overall skin health should be good.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Usually a single session is sufficient. In some cases, a second session may be recommended to reinforce the result. This depends on the individual’s skin structure and needs.

How Long Do the Results Last?

The fillers we use generally last 12–18 months. Lifestyle, metabolism, and facial expressions can influence this duration.

Appearance After Temple Filler

After the procedure, the temples look fuller and the face appears more proportionate. Most people feel their face looks younger and more refreshed when they look in the mirror.

Post-Procedure Considerations

For the first 24 hours, avoid lying face down, taking hot showers, and massaging the area. Also avoid strenuous exercise and activities such as sauna for a short period after the procedure.

Possible Side Effects

Mild redness, swelling, and rarely bruising may occur after the procedure. These generally resolve on their own within a few days. Serious side effects are rare and are minimized with proper technique.

Is Temple Filler Harmful to Health?

When performed with CE-approved, safe filler materials, it does not harm health. It is a very safe procedure when applied by a specialist physician using the correct technique.
