Radiesse Injections for Temple Area?

Radiesse is placed deep near the bone.  It lifts the overlying tissues with great results. 

Radiesse is a very good filler for the temple areas to minimize the skeletonization of the upper face.  An excellent choice that can be performed safely and for longterm results.

This product is used by many physicians for this reason and makes a significant transformation quickly in some patients. Make sure you discuss the advantages and the risks of the procedure with your physician.

Loss of facial volume in the face as well as increasing skin laxity are two of the inevitale facts of aging. Hollowing of the temples is a common area that is affected. Depending on the patient, there are many choices for the treatment of this area. These include:

Juvederm
Radiesse
Sculptra
Fat

For those patients with significant hollowing and require a lot of volume, I prefer fat as it is the most permanent solution. Most patients with significant loss of volume in the face, however don't have that much fat to take from other areas. These patients therefore benefit from Sculptra.
I prefer Radiesse and Juvederm for those patients that require smaller volumes. These fillers, however don't last as long as Fat or Sculptra.

Radiesse is a good filler when used properly.  But to build up an area and to get volume I prefer Sculptra eventhough it requires several injections.  I feel the results are longer lasting though with the use of Sculptra.
Good luck.

 Yes, it is possible to inject Radiesse for the temple area.  We do it all the time for people with temporal wasting, such as with HIV lipodystrophy who develop significant facial wasting of subcutaneous tissue.  The Radiesse injections are effective in filling the missing volume.  

As others have mentioned temporal hollowing is common and can be treated with many different fillers. In my experience, Radiesse gives a good result when injected deeply just over the bone and should not cause lumps if contoured appropriately. The other option you have in this area that may be better for you to avoid repeat injections is autologous fat grafting. It is a more permanent solution using your own fat cells harvested from another part of the body so it is not a "foreign material" and gives you natural lasting results.

Radiesse is a great option for treating temple hollowing.  However, most of my patients prefer Sculptra for this condition because the effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 or more years and that it is a more natural product.
I hope I was helpful.

The temple area is a common area of fat loss. Loss of fat in this area accentuates the bony structures of the eyes. So treatment should focus on a filler that is permanent. Therefore, I recommend micro fat grafting. The use of very small cannulas, 1.2mm or slightly larger allows for very small particles of fat to be injected. This permits for better infiltration of blood supply to the grafted fat and thus a higher "take rate."
If you don't want to go this route than Radiesse would be your best filler choice. Because it is placed in the deep tissues, close to the bone, it is less likely to leave a lumpy appearance.

I prefer hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm. You are much more likely to have soft smooth results. Radiesse is used frequently, but it is more prone to develop lumps. Sculptra injections are really expensive, you need to have them done several times, and the risk of developing hard permanent nodules is much too high.
