Temple Fillers

Temple Fillers often fly under the radar in the ever-evolving world of beauty and cosmetic enhancements. While mainstream discussions around beauty treatments might touch on the usual suspects (lips and cheeks), the subtle artistry of enhancing temple regions is a hidden gem that many have yet to explore. Let's discuss every aspect related to it in detail.

What results can I expect from volumising filler injections to the temples?
With temple fillers, you can anticipate a rejuvenated and harmonious facial aesthetic. The procedure strategically restores volume and reduces hollowing, enhances symmetry, restores face shape, and ultimately results in a more youthful appearance.

What can I expect during my temple filler session? What is the pain like?
The process begins with a consultation with your practitioner. The practitioner will assess your facial anatomy to determine the most appropriate approach. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to the temple area before the procedure to minimise discomfort. At BBD, we have happy gas for patients who require some pain relief. Using a fine needle or cannula, the practitioner will place the volumising filler into the targeted areas of the temples. After placing the filler, the practitioner may massage it to ensure it settles evenly and achieves a natural-looking result. The procedure typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes for both sides.
As for pain, individual experiences may vary. Most people report only mild discomfort during the procedure. The sensation is often described as a slight pinch or pressure.

Is there any downtime, and what aftercare is required?
You might experience some redness or swelling at the site immediately after the procedure. Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling. Some people may experience slight tenderness when chewing or a mild headache for a day or two. While there is usually no need for extended downtime, avoiding intense physical activities and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment is advisable to minimise the risk of additional swelling or bruising. It is important to protect your skin from direct sun exposure. This helps prevent complications and promotes optimal healing.

How many temple volumising filler sessions will I need?
The number of temple filler sessions needed varies based on individual goals and the extent of volume loss. Many achieve the desired results in one session, but it depends on personal preferences and the type of filler used. Maintenance sessions may be considered for prolonged effects. Consult with your practitioner for a personalised treatment plan.

Is there a timeframe for seeing results? What is the lifespan of the results?
You may see immediate results after a temple filler treatment. Still, the full effects typically become more apparent in the days following the procedure as any initial swelling subsides. Most people notice the optimal outcome within a week after the treatment. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers may last several months to a year. Over time, the body naturally metabolises the filler, and maintenance sessions may be considered to sustain or adjust the effects.

How much does it typically cost?
On average, temple filler treatments cost around $1320 per session. Most people only need one session, but people with very deep hollows may require a second treatment.
