NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
We gently restore volume to hollow temples and create smoother transitions between the forehead and cheek contour.
The temples connect the forehead, eye area and cheekbones at the sides of the face. When volume is lost here, hollows can develop and bony contours may become more noticeable. Carefully placed hyaluronic acid can soften these transitions. We work with your natural head shape and the way your temples relate to the rest of your face.
For temple augmentation, we restore missing volume with a suitable hyaluronic acid gel. We assess where the hollow begins, how it extends towards the cheekbone and whether one side differs from the other.
The temple contains several tissue layers with important blood vessels and nerves. We therefore select the product, placement and amount particularly carefully. The aim is a smooth transition without overfilling the area or unnecessarily widening the face.
A slight natural hollow may be part of your individual face shape. We therefore discuss how much correction is appropriate and, if needed, work gradually.
Temple filler may be suitable if the area beside the forehead looks noticeably hollow or has lost volume over time. Changes in weight can also make the transitions between the forehead and cheekbones appear more pronounced.
We first assess whether there is genuine volume loss and how the skin, soft tissues and bone structure interact. Previous filler treatments, surgery or unusual changes are taken into account. A newly developed hollow on one side or symptoms in this area should be medically assessed before any aesthetic treatment.
The temples are an anatomically complex treatment area. Serious complications are rare, but a vascular complication can cause tissue damage and permanent visual impairment. Careful planning and injection technique reduce these risks but cannot eliminate them completely.
Unusual or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, or sudden changes in vision require immediate medical assessment. Do not wait for a scheduled follow-up or a reply from the clinic.
If an unexpected change occurs, we assess the problem, arrange the necessary care and support you through the next steps.
Planning is based on the depth and extent of the hollowing and its transition into the forehead and cheek area.
We examine both temples from the front and at an angle and assess the tissue structure. Existing asymmetries and previous treatments are taken into account. We discuss the contour you would like, what degree of correction is realistic and the specific risks associated with this area.
We document the area before treatment and identify the areas to be treated. The skin is then cleansed and disinfected. If needed, we discuss a suitable local anaesthetic with you.
The hyaluronic acid gel is placed gradually using an appropriate needle or cannula. The technique is chosen according to your anatomy and the planned correction. During treatment, we monitor the tissue response and the contour as it develops. The amount used may differ between the two sides if the anatomy is not symmetrical before treatment.
After treatment, we assess the transitions to the forehead and cheekbones. We explain how early swelling may temporarily affect the appearance and give you personalised aftercare instructions. Follow-up is planned according to your recovery, often at around two weeks. Only then do we decide whether any further correction is needed.
Tell us about any medical conditions, allergies, medications and previous procedures involving the temples, forehead or eye area. Information about existing fillers is particularly helpful for planning. Please also tell us about unusual pain, recurring swelling or any new changes in the area. We postpone treatment if there is active skin inflammation or an acute infection. Do not stop prescribed medication without medical advice.
At first, avoid vigorous rubbing, massage and prolonged pressure on the temples. For example, be mindful of tight glasses, headwear or helmets pressing on the treated areas. Based on the extent of your treatment, we will advise you how long to avoid exercise, saunas, intense heat and alcohol. A mild feeling of pressure or tightness may occur temporarily, sometimes while chewing. If symptoms become worse, are unusually severe or the skin develops unusual discolouration, seek immediate medical assessment.
The increase in volume is visible immediately. Early swelling may temporarily make the temples look fuller or uneven. The true contour can usually be assessed more reliably after around two weeks. How long the result lasts varies from person to person. Your body breaks down hyaluronic acid at its own rate, and changes in tissue or body weight can also affect the appearance. Lifestyle factors can influence skin quality as well. The product, amount and placement also play a role. We only plan a top-up after reassessing the area. If the transition remains well balanced, we do not recommend additional filler simply because a certain amount of time has passed.

Before treatment, we discuss which areas should be corrected, which product is suitable and how much treatment is appropriate.
Costs may vary depending on the product, the amount required and the agreed combination of treatments. We confirm the total price with you before treatment begins.
Answers to your questions about temple contour, treatment progress and aftercare.
We use hyaluronic acid to replace missing volume at the sides of the forehead. This can soften hollowing and create a smoother transition towards the cheekbones. The amount of correction that is appropriate depends on your natural facial shape and tissue structure.
The appointment takes around 30–60 minutes. A change is visible immediately, although swelling may initially make it look more pronounced. We usually reassess the contour after about two weeks to see how it has settled and whether the agreed goal has been achieved.
You may feel some pressure during treatment; local anaesthetic can be used if needed. Afterwards, swelling, bruising and temporary tenderness may occur, sometimes while chewing. Recovery time depends on the extent of treatment and your individual response.
Temple filler may be suitable when genuine volume loss makes the sides of the face look hollow. We assess whether targeted volume replacement is appropriate and how it will fit with the rest of your face.
Afterwards, avoid strong pressure and massage at first and follow our aftercare advice. We remain available if you have questions about your recovery. Unusual pain, skin discolouration or changes in vision require immediate medical assessment.
Mild swelling, bruising or tenderness can last for several days and occasionally longer. The area may temporarily feel tight or tender when chewing. Allow enough time before important events; recovery within one to three days cannot be guaranteed.
Temporary local reactions usually settle on their own. Less commonly, persistent swelling, palpable lumps, infection or delayed inflammatory reactions may occur. Visible unevenness or overfilling may also require reassessment. Please have persistent or worsening symptoms checked rather than trying to correct the treated areas yourself with firm massage.
If volume has also been lost from the cheeks, treating the temples and cheeks in a coordinated way may be appropriate. We assess how the contours of both areas affect one another and avoid adding volume indiscriminately across the whole face. Expression lines on the forehead or at the outer eye area can be treated separately with botulinum toxin when appropriate. Temple volume correction and treatment of muscle activity serve different purposes. Temple filler alone cannot reliably be expected to lift the eyebrows. If you would also like to improve the skin surface, we discuss suitable complementary treatments and when to schedule them in relation to filler treatment.
With temple filler, even small differences in volume can noticeably change the side profile of the face. We therefore assess the temples together with the forehead, eye area and cheekbones.
If hollow temples or a pronounced transition to the cheekbones concern you, we assess the area and discuss options for subtle correction. We explain what degree of change will suit your facial shape and where the limitations of filler treatment lie.
