Is Restylane a good choice for hollow temples?

Thank you for sharing your question. Restylane can be used to address this area, however I have had excellent success in my practice using Juvederm and Sculptra (series of treatments). While lumps and bumps can be normal as the filler settles, at the two week mark the filler should be mostly integrated and lumps should resolve. Irecommend returning to your injector to discuss your concerns as the filler may need to be dissolved using hyaluronidase.

Thank you for sharing your question. Restylane Lyft is probably one of the better products of filling in hollowed temples. Standard Restylane can be injected over the Lyft to enhance the results. Make sure an experienced injector performs the treatment in this region of the face. See your injector about the bumps if they are not resolving.Good luck,

Any filler can be used to address hollow temples. However,  Restylane is relatively far down on the list of fillers \ volumizers available for this purpose. My first choice would be Sculptra, a biostimulater of collagen production. I have also successfully used Voluma and Radiesse for this indication. Restylane can be used,  but it's ability to provide volume is limited. I would return to your Doctor regarding the luminescent. Restylane is relatively unforgiving and requires a precise touch. 

Hollow temples respond very nicely when treated with injectable fillers, though Restylane would not be my first choice. Dramatic improvement can be achieved with Sculptra as well as Radiesse Plus and even Voluma. The choice depends on the age of the patient as well as the level of correction needed. As far as your experience, the lumps and bumps you are seeing need to be addressed and corrected depending on their source. If due to the product itself, there are definite options to resolve this issue.

Thanks for your question and we always recommend that you have a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to assure that you are getting all of the proper information, that you know that we know more about the anatomy of the area better than anyone, and we know the products that are available better than anyone. In the hollows, there are certain medicines that work really well – Sculptra and Radiesse are great non-HA fillers that can lead to really good outcomes in skilled hands. As for fillers, Restylane can be used, but more and more Restylane Silk or Lyft are being used here. And if there are lumps there, probably poor injection techniques are to be blamed and if needed, hyaluronidase can be injected to reduce the filler that was used in the area. Find the right provider, learn your treatment options, and get the results that you are looking for.
