I have never had fillers in that area before.
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
