Fillers for Temples

Theodore Katz, MD answers: Radiesse injections for temple area?

The area around my temple has lost its fat content and my face really sinks in there. it was recommended to me have Radiesse injected there. I am 52 with thin skin. I would like the fullness in my temple area but am concerned about it being lumpy. Have you ever heard of of Radiesse--or any other filler for that matter--being injected in this area around the temples?

The likely costs of using Juvederm and other hyaluronic acid fillers for the temples may be prohibitive considering the volume and short duration of the improvement.  Radiesse may last 9-15 months and is quite good, but again multiple  procedures over time would be necessary.  Sculptra is expensive and requires multiple treatments, although it does last several years.  The most permanent would be fat transfer, preferable microfat grafting.  Be sure to see a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon with fat grafting experience.
