I have found that doctors are not keen to even try to put injectable fillers in the temple area. Even your own fat. I have asked three plastic surgeons in Malaysia about this and not one of them wanted to even try.They claimed that the results are lumpy and move down giving the brow a heavy appearance. I think they need to change the way this is done and the problem will no longer exist. Perhaps a gradual build up and numerous small injections to the areas. Please let me know what methods have proved successful or some photo sites.

Fillers for the Temporal Hollows
Hollow temples is common sign of aging, or severe weight loss. Fillers can be used to restore volume in that location if injected by specialists knowledgable in the anatomy and who inject quite deeply.

Sculptra is my choice for the treatment of temple hollows
Sculptra is an ideal agent for the treatment of temple hollowing that can occur with aging. The results are almost universally very gratifying and safe.

Temple fillers
I routinely inject fillers in the temple area. This is a key area for facial rejuvenation. Just as we lose fat in our face as we age, so do we in our temples. Any filler will work, but I prefer Sculptra, or autologous (your own) fat for the longest lasting and most natural results. The results are not lumpy, and they do not push the brows down. In fact, often the brow complex is filled as well, and by doing so extra skin is lifted off the upper lids. I am sure you will find the right...

Fat grafting for hollowed temples
Many of my mentors have told me we need to listen to the patient. This is one of those times. I have performed fat injection into the temples with good results and I am sure other surgeons have as well. The key is to inject the fat into the deeper layers where it has a greater chance of survival and less of a chance of shifting position or producing an uneven appearance. I see no need for a gradual build up. Again you are also right about changing the way it is done.
