How many syringes of filler is needed in the temple area?

In general correcting the temples takes a lot of syringes especially when they 1st get noticed by patients to become a problem. I prefer using Radiesse for its thickness and its efficiency (1.5 cc vs 1 cc in other HA fillers).  In many cases patients will need 2-3 syringes which is equivalent to 4 syringes of Voluma or Lyft.  I also like Sculptra for its duration but this will take 4-6 months to see.  I often consider the temples to be the most underappreciated area of the face.  When corrected it will help to soften the contour of the face to help avoid what is described as a peanut head shape (not appealing or feminine if female).  It can lift the outer eyebrows to lessen the droopy upper eyelids.  It can also help lessen the cheeks from looking too enlarged and it can lift the outer face which also helps the jawline.   It is well worth the investment if you can afford it and if the temples are hollow.

Without a photo it is difficult to determine the amount of filler you will need to correct the hollowness of your temples.  It is possible that you will need 1 tube per side or more.  You should make a consultation with a doctor who has experience in this area to determine the appropriate treatment.  

It is difficult to know how much filler you might need to achieve an optimal outcome without seeing you in person. The amount varies from patient to patient, based on the amount of correction they need. In addition to the dosing amount, the correct placement of the needle is imperative to a successful treatment. Make sure the doctor you are working with has extensive experience and expertise in this procedure. Both Radiesse and Voluma can work well for this purpose. The experience of your injector is the most important fact in ensuring you achieve your desired result.

Thank you for your question! I typically start with a minimum of 1 syringe per side however every patients anatomy is different. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler which is a great option for temples and comes in 1cc syringe size. Radiesse is a calcium based filler which is another great option, however the syringe comes in a 1.55 syringe size so you get more product out of each Radiesse syringe. I
suggest scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a more thorough evaluation. Hope this was helpful!
Best of luck,

Thank you for the great question. The amount of filler needed for a given patient will depend on their specific anatomy. Patients with more volume loss, or a larger head, will need more filler. In my practice, I routinely use Radiesse for the temple hollows. I typically use one syringe per side. Please note that Radiesse syringes are 1.5cc and Voluma are 1.0cc. Both products work nicely in this area, but the Radiesse is a more economical choice. The only potential downside is that Radiesse is not dissolvable with an enzyme; so if for some reason you did not like the effects, you would need to wait for it to wear off. Best of luck and take care!

Thank you for your question.  Both Radiesse and Voluma are great fillers.  Usually I would start of with 2 or 3 syringes, however your needs might be different and scheduling a consultation with an experienced doctor would be necessary.  You will be able to discuss your concerns and get the right treatment options for you.  All the best!

The amount of filler needed will vary from patient to patient so it is difficult to make a blanket statement without seeing you in person in my office. The temple can be very deep and require many syringes, but if certain locations within the temple are injected and different techniques used, less filler can go a long way. I also frequently combine Voluma with Sculptra injections for results you can see right away and additional results that develop over time. Make sure you are working with a board-certified dermatologist who is skilled in treating the temple area, as precision in dosing and needle placement are essential for an optimal affordable outcome. 

There are many factors that can change the amount of filler you will need.  Often we use 1-2 per side.   If your injector is using a deep injection technique you will need more than a superficial technique with a cannula.   Radiesse is not a filler we use in our practice in this area as it is not as safe as an HA filler.  Best of luck to you. 

Great question. Temple augmentation can be a great treatment for volume depletion that occurs with age.  The volume of filler really depends on the anatomy of the person but it is not unusual to use 0.5 - 1.0 cc on each side.  Please see an expert.

The number of syringes required for any treatment depends on the amount of correction needed and the results you hope to achieve. It is most important to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is also an experienced injector to ensure the dosing amount you receive is appropriate for your specific situation. Both Voluma and Radiesse are good choices for the temple area.
