Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for Temple Augmentation?

Sunken or hollowed temples are one of the most telling signs of aging, creating a gaunt, skeletal appearance that makes the face look older and more tired. As we age, the fat pads and bone structure in the temple area thin and recede. Dr. Avaliani uses precise dermal filler placement and biostimulators to restore natural fullness to the temples, instantly rejuvenating the upper face and harmonizing facial proportions.

What Is Temple Augmentation?

Non-surgical temple augmentation uses dermal fillers and biostimulators to restore volume to sunken or hollowed temples. As we age, the temporal fat pads thin, bone resorbs, and skin loses elasticity — creating a concave, gaunt appearance. By precisely injecting volume into the temple region, Dr. Avaliani restores natural fullness and harmonizes the transition from forehead to cheekbone.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every temple augmentation is performed with exceptional anatomical precision. The temple area contains important vessels and nerves, requiring expert knowledge for safe, effective treatment. Dr. Avaliani uses AccuVein technology and careful technique to deliver filler at the optimal depth for smooth, natural results.

How Temple Augmentation Works

Temple augmentation follows a precise, proven protocol:

Dr. Avaliani evaluates your temple hollowing, facial proportions, and bone structure to determine the optimal filler type and volume

After numbing, dermal filler is precisely placed deep within the temple using a cannula or fine needle for smooth, even distribution

The filler immediately restores volume, smoothing the concavity and creating a natural, youthful contour

For biostimulators like Sculptra, collagen production is triggered over weeks, building natural volume gradually

Results are visible immediately with HA fillers, and continue improving over 4–6 weeks as any swelling resolves

Temple Concerns We Address

Hollowed Temples

Visible concavity in the temple region caused by fat pad thinning and bone resorption. Temple hollowing creates a gaunt, aged appearance. Dermal fillers and biostimulators restore smooth, youthful fullness to this critical area.

Gaunt Appearance

An overall skeletal or emaciated look caused by volume loss in the upper face. Even patients at a healthy weight can appear gaunt when the temples are hollow. Restoring temple volume instantly softens the face and creates a healthier appearance.

Asymmetry

Uneven temple volume between the left and right sides, often caused by natural bone structure differences, sleeping habits, or uneven fat loss. Precise filler placement corrects asymmetry for balanced, harmonious facial proportions.

Visible Veins & Tendons

When temple volume decreases, superficial veins and the temporalis muscle become more visible through thin skin. Restoring volume with filler conceals these structures and creates a smoother, more youthful temple surface.

Brow Descent

Temple volume loss contributes to brow descent and hooding of the upper eyelids. By restoring temple fullness, the lateral brow receives indirect support, helping to open the eye area and reduce the appearance of hooded lids.

Facial Proportion Imbalance

The temples serve as the transition zone between the forehead and midface. When they’re hollow, the entire face appears unbalanced. Temple augmentation restores harmonious proportions and creates a smooth contour from forehead to cheek.

Our Temple Augmentation Options

Dr. Avaliani offers multiple filler and biostimulator options for temple augmentation. Here’s what makes her approach exceptional:

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Reversible HA fillers (Juvéderm Voluma, Restylane Lyft) provide immediate volume restoration with results lasting 12–24 months. The viscosity and lifting capacity vary by product — Dr. Avaliani selects the ideal option for your degree of hollowing.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
A poly-L-lactic acid biostimulator that triggers your body’s own collagen production for gradual, natural volume restoration. Results develop over 2–3 sessions and can last up to 2 years. Ideal for patients who prefer a progressive, natural-looking improvement.
Radiesse®
A calcium hydroxylapatite filler that provides immediate volume and stimulates long-term collagen production. Radiesse offers both instant lifting and progressive improvement, with results lasting 18–24 months in the temple area.

Does It Hurt?

Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)

The temple area is numbed with topical anesthetic cream and/or local anesthesia before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure during injection. The entire procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes and is very well tolerated.

Mild swelling and occasional bruising may occur for 3–5 days after temple filler. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation. Results with HA fillers are visible immediately, while biostimulators like Sculptra build volume gradually over weeks.

Feel Calm. Stay in Control. Look Amazing.
