My injector doesn't really treat the eyes or temples with filler but I'm starting to notice the need to replace lost volume and want to know what can be done and what to ask for. I've heard filler can't be used on the upper eye/temple areas but that would be most ideal as I am young and want to hold off from any major surgery until really needed. I had PRP in my under eyes and temples and that's what made me realize I had lost volume there because I looked exactly like I did before

Answer: Filler to temple region Dear Original583209, Temple filler can be safely injected by experienced injector or under ultrasound guidance. It is a common area I treat my patients with as fuller temple is more youthful and also elevates the outer aspect of the brow. There are 2 ways to inject fillers to the temple: direct needle technique or cannula. It depends on the extent of loss of volume to determine which technique is best to be used. Oftentimes, both techniques need to be applied to achieve a satisfactory result. However, patient needs to be informed that any filler injection has risk of vascular occlusion which may lead to blindness, stroke, skin necrosis, etc. Sincerely yours,Drkenbrito

Answer: RE: replace lost volume in eye/temple areas Hello, it is Dr.Hong from Fresh PS clinic in Seoul, frankly speaking, based on pictures with filters and make up is difficult to judge (especially area under eyes). However, based on my experience and 2nd picture, I think your case for under eyes is fat pad problem, so solution is do under eye fat reposition. Filler or even fat transfer added to that area might make situation even worst. Temple and other face area can be easily treated by fat transfer. This method more natural and safe compare to filler. Hope my answer will help ^^ Best Regards, Dr. Hong
