i have volume loss in the temple area and lower face (i have restylane under my eyes which caused discoloration). i would like to do filler or fat grafting. However, i hearddifferent opinions: some say that fat is unpredictable if i gain weight the grafted areas will too and will become lumpy and make adhesions worse (i have some internal scarring/adhesion from hematoma 6 mos ago). some say fat will soften scar tissue, that it is permanent. others say fat is temporary . Some suggest fillers.

Answer: Fillers for the Temple My "go to" for the temples is a combination of Sculptra and Radiesse. One causes collagen stimulation and even gives the brow a slight lift when filling out the temple, the other provides support for long lasting and immediate volume. Fat is unpredictable and has been reported to cause blindness in some people getting injection in the periorbital area. The other fillers are safer and very predictable. I suggest seeing a formal consult with a cosmetic dermatologist of plastic surgeon with experience in full face rejuvenation with fillers. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fat or filler Hyaluronic acid fillers are the safest and most predictable products to place in the temples. The temples have a very important artery (temporal artery) that can have disastrous side effects if injected with product. Fat cannot be dissolved, while hyaluronic acid fillers can be treated with hyaluronidase. An experienced injector is key when injecting the temples, and if this is the first time a patient is receiving filler in the temple, a dissolvable material is safest.
