Hello. Filler injections can help restore the volume lost in the temporal areas, including the sides of the forehead. It is typically due to fat loss as we age, and not necessarily bone loss. Hope this helps.

Leslie Pickens, MD · Answer

A number of fillers would be appropriate in this area including the best choice in my opinion would be Radiesse, Bellafill which are biostimulators stimulating your own collagen and are longer lasting than hyaluronic fillers or Sculptra, another biostimulator that requires a series of treatments.

Rosa B. Lipin, MD · Answer

You can use fillers to restore some of the volume loss we experience in the temples as we age, which is almost always loss of fat rather than bone. You can use Hyaluronic acid fillers for an immediate improvement that is temporary or you can use Sculptra to increase the amount of collagen, but it takes a couple of treatments to see the results but it lasts longer.
