The Benefits of Temple Filler: Restoring Balance to the Upper Face
Clemens Face + Body | Brookline, Boston
When people think of dermal fillers, the first areas that come to mind are usually lips, cheeks, or jawlines. But one of the most transformative—and most overlooked—areas to treat is the temples. Hollowing in this region can dramatically affect the way the entire face looks, even if it’s subtle at first.
At Clemens Face + Body in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, we specialize in full-face balancing, which means we often recommend temple filler to restore harmony and support in the upper face.
Why Temple Hollowing Happens
With age, the temples lose fat and structural support, and the skull itself changes shape. This results in sunken temples, which can make the face appear tired, aged, or even “peanut-shaped.” Many patients don’t realize this area is contributing to their overall look until it’s pointed out in a consultation.
Temple volume loss can:
Make brows appear heavy or droopy
Exaggerate fine lines around the eyes
Create imbalance between the upper and lower face
How Temple Filler Helps
Temple filler involves strategically placing hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating injectables into the temples to restore volume and shape. This subtle change can:
Smooth hollowing for a more youthful contour
Provide support to the brows, creating a subtle lifting effect at the outer corners of the eyes
Improve facial symmetry and overall balance
Refresh the appearance without looking “done”
Patients are often surprised at how such a small area can make such a big difference.
Why Expertise Matters
The temples are considered a high-risk injection area due to the presence of important blood vessels and structures. This is why it’s crucial to choose an injector with advanced training and a conservative, strategic approach.
At Clemens Face + Body, temple filler is never rushed or treated casually. We use safe techniques, precision placement, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy to achieve results that look natural while minimizing risks.
What to Expect After Treatment
Mild swelling or tenderness for a few days
Immediate improvement in volume, with results settling in over 1–2 weeks
Longevity of 9–18 months depending on the product and your individual metabolism
Temple filler is often combined with other treatments like cheek or jawline filler to create a harmonious, balanced result.
The Bottom Line
Temple filler is one of the most underrated yet powerful treatments in aesthetic medicine. By restoring volume to this overlooked area, you can achieve a lifted, refreshed look that enhances your natural beauty—without anyone knowing exactly what changed.
