Can Juvederm & Voluma be used to fill in the temple area?

Question

Lots of questions but cannot find anywhere on this site or any other whether it is ok to use Voluma in the temple area?

Evan Ransom, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for the question. In short, yes, Voluma can be used in the temple area for volume loss or hollowing. In my practice, I use either Voluma or Radiesse for temple injections. These fillers are thicker and are generally placed deeper along the bone. Both are effective and the choice is generally one of doctor or patient preference.

Thank you for the question. Voluma is an excellent filler for adding volume. Voluma is a thick product and its use is to be evaluated upon an in person consultation.Best,

The temple area is not an FDA-approved location for the use of Juvederm or Voluma, but both products could be used to treat the temple as an off-label use.  Certain physicians may prefer not to use Juvederm or Voluma in the temple, so you should check with different physicians to find one that does treat temples.

Sheryl D. Clark, MD, FAAD · Answer

My favorite fillers for the temples are Sculptra and Radiesse, although many injectors also use Juvederm UltraPlus or Restylane in this area as well. I believe Voluma may have a little too much lift for this area, but this is a new filler and we need more experience before we will know with certainty.The reason you can not find anything in the companies' literature about this is because, as are most treatments in medicine, this is an off-label treatment for all the fillers.

Great question! Both Juvederm and Voluma are great fillers! Voluma, as labeled by the FDA, is to be used for cheek bones as it is a thicker filler. In my practice, it is not one I would choose to use in the temple area. Juvederm, on the other hand, is one of the preferred fillers for this area.

Martie Gidon, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

Both Juvederm and Voluma fillers can be used to restore volume in the temples, but it is used off-label. Treatment should be done by an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Karen Stolman, MD · Answer

I have used Juvederm, Voluma, Sculptra, Perlane and Radiesse off-label in the temples.  I like Juvederm or Perlane best because more malleable than Voluma and less risk of neuro vascular compression.  Sculptra is good in temples too but requires more repeat treatments.

Richard Ort, MD · Answer

The temple is a common area of volume loss and is often overlooked as an area to fill.  Filling the temple can help restore balance to the upper face.  The temple is considered a more advanced area for fillers due to nerves, arteries, and veins that run in this area. Proper injection technique is important when injecting the temple to make treatment as safe as possible.

Richard O. Gregory, MD · Answer

Loss of volume in the temple is a certain sign  of aging associated with general loss of volume in the face.  Traditionally fat grafting was done to these wasted, volume deficient areas.  Voluma and Sculptra have been helpful in replacing this volume loss although both are non FDA approved uses.  As with any procedure there are some minor risks associated and so therefore you should go to someone who has experience in treating this area.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Both fillers can be used in the temple area but Voluma is much thicker than Juvederm so may not be ideal depending on the amount of volume needed. It can simply be too thick for many people's needs. The temples are considered off-label for both products so make sure you see an experienced injector!"This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
