Temple Filler is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to restore volume to hollow or sunken temples. By replenishing lost volume in this area, temple filler helps improve upper-face balance, soften angular contours, and create a smoother, more youthful facial appearance.

What Is Temple Filler?

Temple Filler involves injecting dermal filler—most commonly hyaluronic acid—into the temple region to correct volume loss caused by aging, weight changes, or genetics. The temples play an important role in overall facial harmony, and restoring volume here can subtly lift and balance surrounding facial features.

Benefits of Temple Filler

Temple Filler may provide several aesthetic benefits, including:

• Restoration of hollow or sunken temples
• Improved upper-face balance and proportions
• Softer, more youthful facial contours
• Subtle lifting effect to surrounding areas
• Non-surgical treatment option with minimal downtime

Who Is Temple Filler Suitable For?

Temple Filler may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have hollow or indented temples
• Notice facial aging despite cheek or jawline treatments
• Want improved facial symmetry and balance
• Prefer non-surgical facial rejuvenation

This treatment is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

Common Areas Treated With Temple Filler

Temple Filler is typically applied to:

• Temporal hollow areas
• Upper lateral face near the hairline
• Temple–forehead transition zones

Treatment plans are customized based on facial anatomy and volume needs.

1. Facial assessment and volume analysis

When to Expect Results

Results are often visible immediately after treatment, with continued refinement over several days as mild swelling subsides and the filler integrates with surrounding tissue.

How Long Temple Filler Results Last

Results typically last 9 to 18 months, depending on filler type, injection technique, and individual metabolism. Maintenance treatments may help sustain results.

• Does not affect facial expression
• Often complements cheek, forehead, or under-eye fillers

• Avoid pressing or massaging the temple area for 24 hours
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for 48 hours
