I’ve noticed my temples have significantly hollowed as I’ve gotten older (I’m 44) and I think it’s what I’m seeing when I feel my face doesn’t quite look right but I can’t pinpoint how. What are the benefits of temple fillers, apart from contributing to a more youthful-looking face? Can they help give the appearance of a slimmer face? Will my face look wider with temple filler? Right now there’s a significant dip between cheekbone and side of forehead, like a peanut shape. Thank-you!
Answer: The importance of the temples As we age, most of us lose volume in our face. The volume loss can be seen in the skin, fat, muscle, and bone. When our skin thins, it becomes crepy and we develop fine lines or valleys. Fat loss can be seen underneath the eyes, cheeks, and temples. For women, the temples have 3 important contributions to a youthful look. First, it provides a soft more feminine shape. The ideal shape is similar to an egg shape. If you lose volume in the temples, the shape of the head will look like a "peanut" shaped head which will look more aged. Secondly, it helps to lift the outside portion of the eyebrow and eyelid. If the temples are hollow, there will be more hooding of the upper eyelid and the eyes will look more droopy and closed. Lastly, the temples help to lift the outer face which supports the face and helps prevent sagging of the mid and lower face.

Answer: What you need to know about temple fillers Hello and thank you for your question. Without a photo, it’s difficult to make a recommendation. However, fillers can add volume to hollow temples for a more youthful appearance. This is especially important if the outer portion of your eyebrows and eyelids are starting to sag. Temple fillers restore lost volume and lift this area of the face. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. At your consultation, your surgeon can provide recommendations on treatments that are best-suited for your face.

Answer: Facial volume loss with aging... As we age, gravity brings our facial structures closer to the ground causing sagging skin and jowling. We also lose facial volume with age in the temples and cheeks. This is one of the reasons why cheek fillers may lead to a youthful appearance - by restoring lost facial volume. The temples hollow with age (and strenuous aerobic exercise), so adding filler volume to deflated temples may lead to a youthful appearance in some people. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
