I am thinking of getting filler in my temple area due to volume/fat loss. Which one is the safest with least side effects?

The "triangle of beauty" begins with a wide base which is the temple region. This area takes a lot of filler in most cases. I often prefer to use your own fat to fill this area. Most HA fillers can be used but be prepared to have several syringes required for each side. 

Filler for the temple area is a great option. As we aged,we lose fat,muscle and bone so our faces start becoming more like a skull,specially if you are thin.  HA fillers are a fantastic option as long as they are injected deep. Voluma,Vollure and Restalyne Lyft are all great options.

Thank you for your question.
The best filler for the temple area is a filler that has a high "G prime", which means it give a good lift. Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Lyft are good reversible fillers used for deep injections, and both have been used with success. More superficial injections are sometimes needed to enhance the contour of the temples and the transition between the temples and the brow area, then a softer filler should be used instead. The use of a combination of fillers is also very common to enhance the features of the upper face.
Safety also depends on adequate technique of the injector. So find an experienced plastic surgeon that perform injection on a regular basis to do your procedure.
Hope this helps! Best, Dr Miotto

Hi,In general, hyaluronic acid fillers are thought to be very safe as there is no need for allergy testing and they can easily be dissolved with hyaluronidase. There are different types, in my practice I prefer Voluma. The next consideration is the depth of injection, I prefer to inject deep (over the bone) and consider this the safest technique. A blunt tipped cannula can also be used to inject more superficially and this adds an added layer of safety. All the best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Radiesse, Juvederm, Restylane and sculptra are good for the temples. Fat is an alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
