    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why do temples hollow with age?

    Temple hollowing results from temporal fat pad atrophy, bone resorption of the temporal fossa, and muscle wasting. This creates a concave appearance that makes the upper face look skeletal and significantly aged.

    How much filler is needed for temple restoration?

    Most patients need 1-2cc of dense filler per side. Juvederm Voluma is commonly used due to its high G-prime and longevity. The filler is placed deep against the bone for natural-looking volume restoration.

    Is Sculptra better than filler for temples?

    Sculptra is excellent for temples because it builds volume gradually through collagen stimulation, creating very natural results that last 2+ years. However, it requires 2-3 sessions. Fillers provide visible improvement from day one but need repeating every 12-18 months.

    Is temple filler safe?

    Temple filler is safe when performed by experienced doctors who understand the vascular anatomy. The temporal region has important blood vessels that must be avoided. Dr. Waleerat uses cannula technique for temple injections to minimize risk.

    How long does temple filler last?

    Juvederm Voluma in the temples typically lasts 12-18 months, among the longest durations for facial filler. The temple area has minimal movement, which helps preserve the filler longer.

    Can threads help with temple hollowing?

    Threads alone cannot restore significant temple volume, but they can complement filler or Sculptra by providing structural support and additional collagen stimulation in the temporal region.
