DERMAL FILLERS · TREATMENT
Temple fillers
Temple hollowing can change the transition between the forehead and cheek. Treatment is considered carefully because this is an anatomically sensitive area.
Is it right for me?
Selected adults with a genuine temple volume deficit may be assessed. A visible vessel or a lean face alone is not a reason to inject.
Discuss allergies, previous injectables, active infection, medicines and any healing problems. Tell the clinician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; elective treatment may need to be deferred because safety information is limited. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice from the prescriber.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Clinical studies support particular fillers for particular volume and contour concerns. Material, treatment area and existing anatomy affect the result; a study of one filler cannot validate every product or technique.
Temple filler changes volume, not the position of every nearby feature. Blood vessels in this region make careful assessment particularly important; rare vascular injury can threaten skin or vision.
Risks to understand.
Swelling, bruising, lumps, infection and delayed inflammation can occur. Rare injection into a blood vessel can damage skin and cause blindness or stroke. Unusual severe pain or pale, grey or blue skin needs immediate medical assessment; sudden vision changes or stroke symptoms need emergency care without waiting for a routine clinic reply.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
The consultation reviews the degree of hollowing and the risks of the area. Any proposed HA treatment is planned in the context of the upper face.
Recovery
Swelling, tenderness and bruising can affect the early appearance. Allow time for settling before judging symmetry or planning an event; the recovery period varies by area and product.
Results and review
The contour is reviewed once swelling settles. Maintenance depends on the material, amount used and subsequent facial change.
Number of visits
The plan may be completed in one visit or staged conservatively. A review after settling determines whether further treatment is appropriate.
Good questions.
Clearer decisions.
What can temple fillers address?
Hollowing at the sides of the forehead. Temple hollowing can change the transition between the forehead and cheek. Treatment is considered carefully because this is an anatomically sensitive area.
Who might be a suitable candidate?
Selected adults with a genuine temple volume deficit may be assessed. A visible vessel or a lean face alone is not a reason to inject.
What happens during the appointment?
The consultation reviews the degree of hollowing and the risks of the area. Any proposed HA treatment is planned in the context of the upper face.
How much recovery time should I allow?
Swelling, tenderness and bruising can affect the early appearance. Allow time for settling before judging symmetry or planning an event; the recovery period varies by area and product.
When could I see a change?
The contour is reviewed once swelling settles. Maintenance depends on the material, amount used and subsequent facial change.
How many visits might I need?
The plan may be completed in one visit or staged conservatively. A review after settling determines whether further treatment is appropriate.
Is temple treatment a routine finishing step for everyone?
No. It should have a clear reason and a careful risk discussion. A cannula or particular technique does not eliminate vascular risk.
What is the cost of temple fillers?
