What is a Temple Filler?
A temple filler is a treatment to eliminate the look of sunken skin and sagging on the skin surface due to aging or genetic factors. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to shape facial contours or to eliminate the signs of wrinkles. Loss of fat tissues in the temple area lead to sagging in the eyebrows and forehead. Due to the thin skin structure and mimic movements, that particular area is prone to wrinkles, affects eye muscles and creates sagging. As in various filler procedures, an experienced physician must perform the temple filler treatment. Cheekbone proportions are very important, therefore this procedure should be performed without disrupting the overall proportion of the face. It is recommended that only experts in this field should perform this treatment.
