Is 28 too young for temple filler? Is this very safe, or are there alternatives? (photos)

Hi LA girl,

I would treat you simply with 1/2 vial of Sculptra in each temple to get rid of that peanut head of yours. The treatment is safe, quick, easy, and effective when placed properly. The injections are deep under the muscles, just above the bone which is an area without significant blood vessels so the worry of side effects is minimized. We have used other fillers both more superficially and deep, but find that Sculptra works the best and lasts the longest. Some patients may require 2-3 treatments over the course of a year. Once it takes effect, maintenance is not needed for 2-4 years or longer. Choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, knowledge, care, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.

I do this many times a day for all ages, its not about age its about facial proportion. use Bellafill and/or sculptra long term so you get more of a permanent result. immediately you can do Radiesse if you want something substantial but not permanent (see my link and IGTV female facial sculpting). see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Injecting the temples is no different than injecting other areas of the face, namely that with an expert knowledge of anatomy, results and safety are excellent, so ensure your treatment comes only from a highly trained and experienced physician injector such as a dermatologist. No, 28 is not too young for this not-often-enough thought about treatment to reduce the "skeletalization" of the face which normally happens with aging, but some young folks have it too.
