The temples, the most delicate and indispensable corners of your face, are actually the secret supporters of your youth and expression. A very slight depression, a deep hollow, or volume that has thinned over time brings the thought “I wish this part stayed a bit fuller” to your mind every time you look in the mirror. If surgical intervention scares you but you’re looking for a natural, quick, and non-surgical solution… “Temple Filler” is perfect for you!
What is Temple Filler?
Temple filler is an aesthetic application where hyaluronic acid-based filler materials are injected into the temple area through fine-tipped cannulas or needles.
- Purpose: To add volume to temples that have thinned over time or sunk and cast shadows on the side profile of the face, revitalize your facial oval, and reverse the perception of “face sliding downward.”
- Material: FDA/CE approved, biocompatible hyaluronic acid filler products; natural skin compatibility.
- Duration: Average 20-30 minutes; immediate return to social life possible.
- Longevity: Between 12-18 months; can be quickly reversed with hyaluronidase enzyme if desired.
Why Choose Temple Filler?
- Non-Surgical and Quick Results: No incision scars, bandages, or long rest periods; can be handled even during lunch break.
- Rejuvenates Facial Oval: Volume increase in temples provides the feeling that the entire face has been “lifted” upward.
- Minimum Recovery Time: Mild swelling or tiny bruises pass within a few hours; meetings and events are free the next day.
- Dual-Purpose Effect: Alleviates both static (aging) and dynamic (expression) lines.
- Personalized Planning: The most ideal ratio is achieved by testing temple bone angle and side profile harmony with 3D simulation.
- Reversibility: If you’re not satisfied with results, hyaluronidase enzyme comes into play; “zero regret” advantage.
Who Can Have Temple Filler?
- Those with Volume Loss in Temple Area: Anyone 25+ who wants to revitalize their side profile thinned by aging or weight changes.
- Those Wanting Facial Oval Lifting: Those wanting to balance sagging in the lower face area or jawline drooping.
- Those Seeking Non-Surgical Rejuvenation: Those wanting to avoid surgical scars and anesthesia stress.
- Patients with Filler Experience: Those who have had filler applications in other areas of the face and want to renew their side profile too.
- Those with Busy Social/Professional Lives: Those wanting to achieve aesthetic improvement quickly and return to routine immediately.
Note: Those with active infection, bleeding tendency, or severe systemic disorders require detailed physician examination beforehand.
