Restoring Balance and Beauty: The Role of Temple Fillers in Eye and Midface Lifting

Restoring Balance and Beauty: The Role of Temple Fillers in Eye and Midface Lifting

by Dr. Sheila Nazarian

Volume loss is common as you age. As the temples lose volume, they become hollow. They make you look older and less attractive. Its effects could lead to facial imbalance, brow ptosis, and even crow’s feet!

Temple filler treatment, sometimes called the temple facelift, effectively fills these hollows. They restore volume to the temple and make you look more youthful. 

Causes of Volume Loss in the Temple

You may wonder what exactly causes the volume loss. A variety of things can lead to loss of volume in the temples. 

Below are listed some of them:

Ripple Effects of Hollow Temples

When you lose the fat pads in the temple, it doesn’t just affect the temple. It affects other areas of the face. Fixing the hollow temples will also solve these problems it creates!

Facial Imbalance

The removal of the fat pads in the temples significantly impacts the symmetry and harmony of the face. Minimal loss of fat pads shows the profile of the skull and affects balance and harmony in the face. Fillers restore the volume and bring balance back to the face.

Brow Ptosis

When there is volume loss in the temple, the tails of the eyebrows fall. It is called brow ptosis. This looks unappealing and affects the face’s harmony. Adding fillers in the right amount will lift the brows, making the eyes brighter and the face more attractive.

Crow’s Feet

When the skin around the temple loses elasticity and sags, it makes the wrinkles at the lateral angles of the eye—crow’s feet—look worse. Adding volume to the temple with fillers, restores contour and improves crow’s feet.

Midface Descent

When the temples are hallow, the midface falls and results in heavier smile lines. A very natural-appearing way to lift those is with temple filler. Before filling in the laugh lines, we recommend assessing and addressing any temple hollowness first for the most natural results.

Can temple Fillers Lift the Eyes?

Yes, temple fillers lift the eyes! When the temple volume is increased, the eyes look brighter. The shadow cast by the temple when it is not full makes your eyes look smaller.

When you get fillers into the temple, they fill the hollow, raise the brows, contour the temples, and make the eyes look brighter.

Temple Filler FAQs

  1. How long do temple fillers last?
    1. On average, temple filler will last between 9 and 12 months. This depends on the type of filler,  the metabolism of the patient, and the injection technique used during the procedure.
  2. How risky are temple fillers?
    1. Dermal fillers in your temples are largely considered safe as long as you are careful to choose a medically qualified injector who has a thorough understanding of anatomy and knows exactly what they are doing. The temples are one of the most anatomically difficult areas to inject due to the number of vessels in the area as well as the kinds of vessels that are there.
  3. Can I wear glasses after temple filler?
    1. To achieve optimal results, it is important to avoid wearing goggles or eyewear in the days immediately following your filler injections as the pressure of certain types of eyewear could potentially cause your filler to migrate beneath the skin.
  4. Can fillers give you an eye lift?
    1. Yes, fillers can lift the eyes by adding volume to the temples, which can help restore the eyes to their natural position. This procedure involves adding volume in strategic places around the eyes using dermal fillers which are injections of hyaluronic acid and this hyaluronic acid is found throughout the human body. This helps to rejuvenate the eye area thereby giving you an eye lift.
  5. Does temple filler help droopy eyelids?
    1. Yes, temple filler can help with droopy eyelids by lifting the outer brow and eye area. Fillers injected into the fat pad just beneath the brow can help improve the appearance of drooping eyelids. The upper eye area may slightly plump up, which reduces sagging.
