Temple Filler

Temple filler is a medical aesthetic procedure and is an injection method used to improve the appearance in the region called the temple.

This procedure is usually applied to fill the hollows in the temporal region due to the effects of aging or loss of volume in the face and to restore the overall contour of the face. Temporal filling is performed using safe and biodegradable materials such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. 

This dermal filler is injected under the skin, increasing the volume in the filler temporal area and helping to achieve a younger, fresher appearance. The procedure is performed in a minimally invasive way and usually provides fast results, therefore offering people the ability to achieve temporary but effective rejuvenation. If the temple filling procedure is combined with procedures that provide a definitive solution to forehead wrinkles, it can lead to a much more aesthetic result.

How is Temple Fillers Performed?

Before temporal fillers, the area is usually numbed with local anaesthetic cream. This procedure is performed with the help of a special injector, with fine needles or cannulas made to the points determined according to the needs of the person’s skin type and the doctor’s evaluation. Generally, it is among the areas where the filling process between the ear and temple is most commonly performed. Aesthetic temple filling aims to alleviate wrinkles by increasing the volume in the temple area and is usually applied by an aesthetic doctor or dermatologist in a sterile environment.

What is Forehead Filler Procedure?

The forehead filler procedure aims to correct fine lines and pits in the upper forehead area, and the filling materials usually used are substances such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. This procedure can help the forehead to gain a smoother and younger appearance. Before the procedure, conversations such as talking about side effects are made to the patient for information purposes.

On the other hand, the filling procedure applied to the temporal region aims to correct the pits or volume loss in related region and helps this area to gain a fuller and fresher appearance. The two procedures can be performed together in some cases.

What Should Those Who Have Forehead Filler Pay Attention To?

The things to be considered after filling may vary depending on factors such as the general health status and expectations of the person. However, the main things to pay attention to are as follows:

• The instructions given by the doctor after filling should be followed exactly.
• Cold compresses should be used to reduce swelling after the procedure.
• Heavy exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for a while after the procedure.
• Alcohol consumption and the use of blood thinners should be discontinued for the period specified in the doctor’s recommendations. 
• Sun cream should be used to protect from the sun.
• Periodic follow-up checks recommended by the doctor should be done regularly.
• The treatment methods that the patient has to take after the procedure should be reported to the doctor and precautions should be taken against possible side effects.

The things to be considered after temporal fillers are generally the recommendations mentioned above. 

How is Temple Filler Performed?

The temple filling procedure begins with a consultation appointment. The patient’s needs and expectations in the temple area and sometimes in the area around the eyes are evaluated. The specialist evaluates various factors, including factors such as the patient’s skin structure and health history, and makes decisions about the procedure, such as the most appropriate filling material. These decisions are also consulted with the patient and patient satisfaction is prioritised.

In addition, the doctor may also consider the medication that the patient has to take, if any, and may make decision changes to prevent possible allergy conditions. The temple area is cleaned and sterilised before the procedure. In addition, pre-procedure photographs may be taken and in some cases a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied. The doctor injects the selected filler material into the temple area using a special injector or needle. After the filler material has been injected, the doctor sculpts the area by hand or by injection. This is important to achieve the desired contours and results.

After the temporal filler procedure, the specialist performs regular checks to check the patient’s condition and results. These controls are important to evaluate the post-procedure healing and the effect of the practice.

How Long Does Temple Fillers Last?

The permanence of temple fillers may vary depending on a number of factors. Scientific studies show that temporary filling materials, such as hyaluronic acid, usually last between 6 and 18 months. However, the duration of permanence may vary from person to person. Since the temporal area is an area where facial expressions are frequently used, filling materials in these areas may lose their effect more quickly. 

The effect of age on permanence is also important. As the age progresses, the natural aging process and loss of elasticity in the skin may cause the filling material to be absorbed more quickly. Research shows that repeated filling practices can help the results last longer. Therefore, people who want permanent results should repeat the filling procedures at intervals recommended by the specialist. 

Does Temporal Fillers Prevent Mimic Use?

The filling procedure performed on the temple area increases the volume by filling the pits in this area and helps rejuvenate the skin. However, temples are an important area for expressing facial expressions. For this reason, some patients may experience difficulty in maintaining their natural facial expressions as a result of filling in the temple area.

The effect of losing mimicry after temple filling may be temporary because the filling materials are absorbed over time and their effect decreases. Studies show that temporary filling materials such as hyaluronic acid are permanent for 6 to 18 months. As the effect of the filling material decreases, the natural facial expressions in the temporal area may also return. In order to minimise the risk of mimic loss after the filling procedure, it is important that an experienced specialist uses the correct techniques and injects the appropriate amount of filler material.
