What filler is best and safest for temple filler? Also would temple filler help to lift up my face a little? (photo)

Temples getting filled in look great and usually need about 1 syringe per temple at a minimum. 3 for both temples is very common. Radiesse diluted or restylane defyne or lift are very good for this.

Hi @Sexyslew69. I recommend a hyaluronic acid based filler which can be reversed if you are not happy with the outcome. Restylane Lyft is a great option. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Many different fillers can be used in the temple area, depending on the amount of correction you need and how long you would like your results to last. I often recommend that patients begin with a hyaluronic acid filler, since these don’t last as long and can even be reversed if you don’t like the results. If you want a longer-lasting option, both Radiesse and Sculptra can be safely used in this area as well. No matter which filler you choose, make sure it is administered by a board-certified dermatologist with extensive training and experience in this procedure. The area does feature many blood vessels and expertise is needed to achieve an optimal outcome without unwanted risks or side effects. 

Thank you for your question and pictures. For immediate improvement in temple volume, fillers are a great option. My favorite fillers for the temples are Voluma and Restylane Lyft. For a more gradual improvement that is longer lasting I would consider Sculptra which works great for the temples. When performed by an expert, these injections are very safe. I would recommend an in-person consultation and examination with an experienced physician to determine which would be best for you. Best wishes.

As we age, the face naturally loses volume, specifically in areas like the temples and brow area. Soft tissue fillers like Radiesse are great for lifting the brow, filling out the temples, and making the face appear more youthful. Sculptra is an alternative. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

All injectable fillers have been used in the temple area. A very common choice is to use a biostimulator called Sculptra, which helps generate your own collagen to soften areas of minor hollowing. Typically a series of 4-5 are performed monthly for best results, however in younger patients 2-3 may suffice for the temples. 

I would suggest a hyaluronic acid based filler which is reversible should you not be completely thrilled with the results. More importantly, you need an expert physician injector with training and experience (e.g. dermatologist) to know the anatomy (avoiding nerves and blood vessels) and be able to optimize your results and safety. Typically there is a bit of a lift that occurs which is subtle but notable. Several different HA fillers are good options here.

As we age the temple area hollows out. Treating this area can add lift and softness to a face.  This area is considered a high risk area to inject as there are a lot of important structures and vessels in this area.  Make sure that your injector is very experienced in treating this area.  Most fillers can be used to treat this area.  I prefer to use vollure or voluma but have used all of the products mentioned previously with good results.

I like to treat the temples with Restylane Refyne or Restylane Defyne injected superficially using a microcannula or Sculptra aesthetic injected deep on bone using a needle. In experienced hands, I believe both are safe. The key is to see someone who does a lot of these treatments.
