What to do if you want more fat near temples

As we age, the temples in particular lose volume.  This can lead to a gaunt and unattractive appearance.  Certainly, Fat Transfer can be used to improve this condition.  Sculptra is also very helpful for this condition.  Good luck!

Hollow temples are common as we age due to fat loss. A simple non-surgical alternative to fat transfer is to use injectable fillers to restore more youthful volume to the temples. This is a quick, easy treatment with no downtime and it can last for a year or two.  Of course fat augmentation is a more permanent solution but does require surgery and a week or two of visible swelling. Generally we reserve fat augmentation for full face volume replacement and we use fillers for focal areas like temples, cheeks or around the mouth.

In my 30 year experience with fat, fat grafting is a high complication procedure in the temples. Irregularities are common and difficult to get out. Juvederm in the subcutaneous plane  will last 2-4 years and tend to be much smoother.
