Restylane Defyne or Voluma for hallow temples?

Question

I workout a lot and have very little body fat. I have noticed my temples look very sunken in. Which filler would be best for my temples? Is Restylane Defyne thick enough? I have read that Voluma can look lumpy in people who are thin.

Hi @chj93. Sculptra, Restylane Lyft, and Juvederm Voluma work great for filling the hollowness in the temples. Best of luck, Dr. Nima

For hollow temples, I prefer to use Sculptra because it has the most volume restoration and it has one of the longest duration.  However, it will take 4-6 months to show and it may take 1-3 treatments depending on the degree of hollowness.  If you are not willing to be patient, then this will not be the product.If you want instant gratification, then Radiesse would be more efficient than Voluma or Restylane Defyne.  It is thicker than HA fillers which provides more lifting and has 50% more in each syringe.If you prefer an HA (hylaronic acid) filler then I would choose Restylane Lyft (better lift than Defyne) or Voluma (more expensive but will last longer). If fillers are done correctly, then there should be no lumpiness.  The lumpiness is a result of technique error.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I do fat injections, but if someone is not willing, Radiesse with Sculptra is much better than either alone for significant changes. You can try Juvederm Ultra Plus or Lyft but they require more tubes for improvement. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hollow temples are the most commonly overlooked area. As we age subcutaneous tissue is lost leaving a “skeletal-like” appearance. To restore this we inject a Hyaluronic-Acid based filler known as Voluma XC.
Voluma XC is indicated to treat (though not FDA approved for temples), deep volume deficiency. Typically we inject half a syringe in each temple, and have the patient return in 2 weeks if more volume is desired. Always discuss possible side-effect with your Board Certified Dermatologist or Expert Injector.

We personally use Voluma in the temples and have been very happy with that but you could use either product in that area.  Both are used for the temples.
