Injections for temporal area

Stella Desyatnikova, 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?

 I prefer hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm. You are much more likely to have soft smooth results. Radiesse is used frequently, but it is more prone to develop lumps. Sculptra injections are really expensive, you need to have them done several times, and the risk of developing hard permanent nodules is much too high.
