Temple Filler

Introduction

Introduction to Temple Filler

The temples are the unsung heroes of the face. They aren’t an area you think about in terms of facial attractiveness, but they are key to providing facial balance and structure. As we age, fat under the skin dissipates, and collagen production slows, shrinking the temples and narrowing the sides of the face. These small changes can make the face lose its youthful shape and fullness but can be reversed by adding volume back into the temples with filler. This anti-aging trick can brighten the eyes and discreetly reshape the face for a more youthful appearance. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach at LM Medical NYC offers temple filler treatment in New York City, with two convenient locations in the Upper East Side and Greenwich Village, to restore a fuller, more youthful—and completely natural-looking—appearance.

What is Temple Filler?

Adding a subtle amount of facial volume with filler injections can give your face a more youthful, healthy appearance. Facial fillers can contour the cheeks, jawlines, and temples to reshape your face with volume. Hyaluronic acid is the most popular filler, but other dermal fillers can also be used to add facial volume and fill sunken temples. Our cosmetic professionals offer a wide variety of dermal filler options that can offer quick and long-lasting results for replacing lost facial volume.

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting a temple filler treatment in New York City is to schedule a consultation with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach. Dr. Rabach will examine your facial anatomy during the meeting and tailor the treatment to your temple area needs. She will ask you about your medical history, including medications being taken and any allergies or autoimmune conditions. She will also take the time to outline the procedure and its associated risks, benefits, results, and recovery expectations to determine if it is the right match for your aesthetic goals. She might also take photos for a before and after analysis.

Once you both decide to proceed with the procedure, she will draft a treatment plan for you. You can take your plan to the patient coordinator for scheduling and pricing and to receive any pre-treatment instructions for a smooth experience during the procedure and recovery.

What to Expect on the Day of Temple Filler Treatment

On the day of your temple filler treatment in New York City, Dr. Rabach and her staff will welcome you and get you settled in the treatment room. Your treatment plan will be reviewed in case of any outlying questions. Once you are comfortable to move forward, a numbing cream will be applied to the target temple area.

Once you are numb, Dr. Rabach uses an ultra-fine needle to inject the filler into the temple area and massage it to achieve your desired aesthetic appearance and facial balance.

The entire process should take between 20 and 30 minutes without any complications.

Temple Filler Recovery

Temple filler treatments have minimal downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately. They might experience slight swelling, bruising, and discomfort near the injection sites, but that can be relieved using ice packs. These symptoms should be relieved over the next week or two.
