Aging isn’t just about wrinkles—sometimes, it’s about what we lose. One of the most overlooked signs of aging is volume loss in the temples. When this area starts to hollow out, it can make the face look tired, gaunt, or even older than it really is. Luckily, temple fillers offer a quick and easy fix to restore balance and bring back a youthful, refreshed look.
At HMS Plastic Surgery in Miami, we specialize in non-surgical treatments like temple fillers that enhance your natural beauty without the need for downtime. If you’ve noticed changes in your face but can’t quite put your finger on what’s different, it might be time to take a closer look at your temples.
Why Are My Temples Looking Hollow?
A full, smooth temple area is key to a balanced and youthful face. But as we age, we naturally lose collagen, fat, and bone density, leading to hollowed-out temples. This can make the brows droop, deepen forehead wrinkles, and create a more skeletal appearance.
Other factors that contribute to temple hollowing include:
- Weight loss – Losing fat in the face can make temples appear sunken.
- Genetics – Some people naturally have less fat in the temple area.
- Excessive exercise – Intense workouts can accelerate fat loss, including in the face.
- Aging – Bone and fat loss increase with age, leading to facial volume depletion.
What Are Temple Fillers and How Do They Work?
Temple fillers are injectable dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid or collagen-boosting substances, that add volume to the temple area. The treatment helps lift the brows, smooth out wrinkles, and restore youthful contours in a way that looks natural.
The procedure is quick—usually taking less than 30 minutes—and results are immediate with minimal swelling or downtime. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from six months to two years before a touch-up is needed.
Who Should Consider Temple Fillers?
Temple fillers aren’t just for those in their 40s and beyond. Many people start to notice subtle volume loss in their 30s and find that temple fillers create a more refreshed and youthful appearance without looking overdone. You may be a good candidate for temple fillers if:
- Your temples look hollow or sunken
- Your brows appear lower or flatter than before
- You feel like your face looks gaunt or tired
- You want to balance and enhance your facial contours
- You prefer a non-surgical option to maintain a youthful look
The Temple Filler Experience: What to Expect
Getting temple fillers at HMS Plastic Surgery is a comfortable and straightforward process. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation – Dr. Harry Salinas will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals.
- Numbing – A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
- Injection Process – Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler is carefully placed into the temples to create a smooth and lifted look.
- Final Touches – We massage the area gently to ensure even distribution of the filler.
- Enjoy Your Results – Most patients notice instant improvement, with continued enhancement over the next week as the filler settles.
Are Temple Fillers Safe?
When performed by an experienced injector, temple fillers are very safe and effective. However, because the temple area contains important blood vessels, precision and expertise are crucial. At HMS Plastic Surgery, Dr. Salinas has extensive experience with facial fillers, ensuring natural, balanced results with minimal risk.
How Long Do Temple Fillers Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane) last 6 to 12 months.
- Collagen-stimulating fillers (like Sculptra or Radiesse) can last up to 2 years by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen.
Regular touch-ups help maintain results and keep your face looking naturally youthful over time.
