Temple hollowness. What procedures can I have to fix this issue?

Question

Hello, i have some hollowness in my left temple area. i am 29 y\o and the hallowness is not due to losing weight but is simply my bone structure. my left temple just dosent match my right temple and i would like to fix this asymmetry i have. what procedures can i have to fix this issue? i heard about injectable fillers but im kind of leaning towards either fat graffting or permanent custom made implants for my left temple. what would be better? thank you for all the help doctors.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Injectables work great and should be able to correct symmetry. My products in order of preference are Voluma, Radiesse, Sculptra. Implants are also an option and would create a permanent result. However, with an implant underlying asymmetries can be difficult to fine tune - your hollow temple might just become your fuller temple. Seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs both injectable and implant procedures. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

I would recommend starting with a non permanent filler first to make sure you are happy with the final cosmetic result. I routinely use Radiesse and Voluma in this area with immediate correction. As always be sure to only see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to ensure the best result. Good luck.

Sculptra and Voluma are two of the best ways to fix this area.  Sculptra will last up to two years once you have achieved complete correction.  Best, Dr. Green

I would strongly recommend starting with fillers to achieve the cosmetic appearance you desire before transitioning to a more long-tern solution.

Hi, there are several dermal fillers that can be used to fill in hollowness in the temples.  Rdaiesse, Sculptra or Perlane now called Restylane Lft all work well.
