What is Temple Filler?
Temple filler is a non-surgical treatment that involves the injection of dermal fillers into the temple area to improve facial harmony.

FDA Approval of Juvederm Voluma XC for Temple Hollowing
Juvederm Voluma XC is the first and only dermal filler approved by the FDA to augment the temple region and address moderate-to-severe temple hollowing in adults over the age of 21. This approval demonstrates the commitment of Allergan Aesthetics to innovation and addressing unmet market needs in facial aesthetics and full-face harmonization.
Other Temple Filler Options
Restylane Lyft and Contour
Restylane Lyft and Contour are hyaluronic acid fillers used to enhance cheeks but can also be used to address temple hollowing. These fillers help to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles in the temple area, providing a more natural-looking appearance. They may not be as long lasting as Juvederm Voluma.
Juvederm Vollure
Juvederm Vollure is a smooth, long-lasting hyaluronic acid filler that uses Vycross technology for comfortable injections and natural-looking results, lasting up to 1.5 years. It is FDA-approved for treating nasolabial folds and can also be used to fill wrinkles, define lips, and refresh the lower face.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a biostimulant filler that works by stimulating collagen production in the treated area. Typically 3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart are required for optimal correction. Unlike the hyaluronic acid fillers, results are seen more gradually over 6 months but can last more than two years. It can be used to address temple hollowing by restoring volume to the face.
Radiesse
Radiesse is another biostimulant filler that can be used to address temple hollowing. It also requires a series of 3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart. It works by stimulating the production of collagen, providing long-lasting volume restoration, and can last more than 2 years.
Good Candidates for Temple Fillers
Temple filler treatments can benefit a wide range of individuals. Ideal candidates are those who are experiencing age-related volume loss in the temple area, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance. These individuals should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Temple fillers can also benefit individuals who want to improve their overall facial balance and symmetry.

The Temple Filler Procedure
The temple filler procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that aims to restore lost volume and improve facial balance. Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect during the procedure:
- Consultation: Dr. Rubinstein will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and overall health to determine if temple filler treatment is the best option for you.

The temple filler procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to complete, and most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Recovering After Temple Filler Injections
Recovering from temple filler treatments is generally a straightforward process. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, there are a few things to keep in mind during the recovery period:
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site may occur. These are common side effects and should subside within a few days.
- Dr. Rubinstein will provide post-treatment care instructions to minimize any discomfort and ensure optimal healing.
- Following treatment, it is advisable to refrain from intense physical activity, prolonged sun exposure, and wearing constricting headwear for 24 hours, allowing the filler to settle properly and reducing the risk of complications.
- The final results of your temple filler treatment will become apparent once any swelling has subsided, revealing a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
- In rare cases, infection or an allergic reaction to the filler may occur. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your provider immediately.
- The recovery time can vary depending on the individual’s genetic predisposition, overall health, and the type of dermal filler used.
