Radiesse Injections for Temple Area?

Loss of facial volume in the face as well as increasing skin laxity are two of the inevitale facts of aging. Hollowing of the temples is a common area that is affected. Depending on the patient, there are many choices for the treatment of this area. These include: Juvederm Radiesse Sculptra Fat For those patients with significant hollowing and require a lot of volume, I prefer fat as it is the most permanent solution. Most patients with significant loss of volume in the face, however... more

The temple area is a common area of fat loss. Loss of fat in this area accentuates the bony structures of the eyes. So treatment should focus on a filler that is permanent. Therefore, I recommend micro fat grafting. The use of very small cannulas, 1.2mm or slightly larger allows for very small particles of fat to be injected. This permits for better infiltration of blood supply to the grafted fat and thus a higher "take rate." If you don't want to go this route than... more

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.

Radiesse is a good choice for filling in the missing volume for the temple area. If injected in a deep plane and massaged immediately afterward for uniform placement, the risk of developing lumps is much reduced.

Radiesse is a great option for treating temple hollowing.  However, most of my patients prefer Sculptra for this condition because the effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 or more years and that it is a more natural product. I hope I was helpful.

This product is used by many physicians for this reason and makes a significant transformation quickly in some patients. Make sure you discuss the advantages and the risks of the procedure with your physician.

Radiesse is a good filler when used properly.  But to build up an area and to get volume I prefer Sculptra eventhough it requires several injections.  I feel the results are longer lasting though with the use of Sculptra. Good luck.

I have used Sculptra Aesthetic for the temple area many times. It fills in slowly, lasting over 2 years and really makes a nice difference in filling out the temples and the face naturally. You can also use this across the forehead as well. I have used Radiesse in this area but it does not last as long.

Sculptra is an excellent filler option for the temporal area which I use frequently. It also has been used for patients with temporal wasting from HIV lipodystrophy. Choose a physician who is skilled in injecting the temple area. This is a more advanced technique. Patients have been thrilled with their results. Best of luck!

 Yes, it is possible to inject Radiesse for the temple area.  We do it all the time for people with temporal wasting, such as with HIV lipodystrophy who develop significant facial wasting of subcutaneous tissue.  The Radiesse injections are effective in filling the missing volume.
