What Is Temple Filler?
Temple filler is a cosmetic injectable procedure that adds volume to the temple region — the slightly recessed area on the side of the forehead near the hairline. Over time or due to genetics, this area can lose fat and structural support, leading to a hollow or sunken appearance. Temple filler restores this volume using biocompatible dermal fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid, to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
Unlike muscle-relaxing treatments (such as Botox), temple fillers do not affect movement — they simply replace lost volume to achieve a refreshed appearance.
Benefits of Temple Filler
Temple filler delivers several aesthetic advantages that contribute to broader facial harmony:
✔ Restores Youthful Volume: Age-related fat loss can cause temples to hollow. Filler replaces this lost volume, diminishing hollow shadows and revitalizing the upper face.
✔ Improves Facial Balance: By adding structural support above the cheek and brow area, temple filler creates smoother transitions and a more proportionate silhouette.
✔ Lifts Brow and Eye Area: Volume in the temples can subtly lift the brow and eye region, minimizing tired or sagging appearance and drawing attention to the natural contours of the face.
✔ Non-Surgical & Quick Procedure: The treatment usually takes 15-30 minutes, requires minimal downtime, and most patients return to daily activities immediately
✔ Natural, Customized Results: Each plan at Fethiye Medical Aesthetics Clinic is tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring balanced and natural results that avoid an “overdone” look.
How Temple Filler Works
Temple filler begins with a comprehensive consultation, where Dr. Dagel assesses facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and symmetry goals. A topical anesthetic or lidocaine-infused filler is used to minimize discomfort.
Using precise injection techniques, hyaluronic acid-based fillers are placed in specific points of the temple area. The goal is to restore volume while maintaining natural contours and facial balance. Results are visible immediately, with continued refinement over a few days as swelling settles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Temple Filler
Temple filler treatment is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to restore volume loss in the temples, creating a smoother, more youthful, and balanced facial appearance. Below, we answer the most common questions about temple filler, including safety, results, longevity, and recovery.
What is temple filler?
Temple filler is a cosmetic injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers to restore lost volume in the temple area. This helps soften a hollow or sunken appearance and improves overall facial harmony.
Why do temples lose volume over time?
Aging causes gradual fat loss, bone resorption, and reduced collagen production. These changes can lead to hollow temples, making the face appear tired, aged, or overly angular.
Who is a good candidate for temple filler?
Temple filler is suitable for individuals who:
Have hollow or sunken temples
Want a more youthful and balanced facial contour
Prefer non-surgical facial rejuvenation
Are in good overall health
A personalized consultation is essential to determine suitability.
Is temple filler safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced medical professional. The temple area contains important blood vessels, so precise anatomical knowledge and expert technique are crucial for safe and effective treatment.
Does temple filler hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical anesthetic and fillers containing lidocaine are typically used to ensure a comfortable treatment experience.
How long does the procedure take?
The treatment usually takes 20–30 minutes, including preparation and injection.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after treatment, with optimal outcomes becoming more apparent once any mild swelling subsides within a few days.
How long do temple filler results last?
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
Is there downtime after temple filler?
There is little to no downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days. Most patients return to daily activities the same day.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary side effects may include:
Mild swelling
Bruising
Tenderness at the injection site
Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by a qualified medical professional.
Can temple filler be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Temple filler is often combined with cheek filler, jawline contouring, or full-face rejuvenation treatments for balanced and natural-looking results.
Will temple filler make my face look unnatural?
When applied conservatively and strategically, temple filler enhances facial balance without altering natural expressions. The goal is subtle rejuvenation, not overfilling.
