The temple region is one of the first facial areas where aging begins. However, problems in the temple area are often noticed late by both patients and doctors. As the aging process progresses, significant tissue losses in this area lead to a sunken appearance in the temples. Temple fillers can non-surgically treat aesthetic problems caused by volume loss in this area.
Temple fillers can be used in the following situations:
Correcting the sunken appearance in the temples provides a more oval look to the face. Drooping in the upper eyelids and the outer parts of the eyebrows is corrected. The prominence of the bones around the eyes decreases, deepening the look. Before the procedure, photographs of the temple area are taken from the front and side. Following evaluations, the most accurate injection points are determined. Local anesthesia is administered to the injection point with a needle. A cannula is then inserted into the temple area. Filler injections are made until the desired volume increase is achieved, thus correcting the temple hollowing. The temple filler procedure is completed within approximately 20 minutes.
For temple fillers, blunt-tipped needles, known as cannulas, are used, so swelling, bleeding, and bruising are very rare. One can return to daily life immediately after the procedure. The procedure is done in a single session. The patient is called for a check-up 15 days later. The application typically lasts for 1.5-2 years. Since the temple area is not a mobile area, this duration might extend further. The temple region is anatomically quite delicate and complex. Therefore, temple fillers can lead to serious complications. It should not be forgotten that the person performing the filler application should be very knowledgeable and experienced in this field.
