What Causes Sunken Temples?

The temples are located above the outer eyebrow and inside the hairline. Causes of temple hollowing include:

1
Fat Atrophy — The temporal fat pad gradually thins with age
2
Bone Structure — Some people naturally have more concave temporal bones
3
Weight Changes — Weight loss accelerates facial fat loss
4
Genetics — Familial facial structure characteristics

Visual impact of sunken temples: makes cheekbones appear wider and more prominent, makes the upper face look gaunt, and disrupts overall facial harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:Does temple filler hurt?

A:The temple area has some nerve sensitivity. Numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most patients describe mild pressure — discomfort is manageable. Rappoel’s director has extensive experience with gentle, stable injection technique.

Q:How long does temple filler last?

A:Generally 9-18 months. The temple area has relatively less muscle movement, so filler tends to last longer. Rappoel’s multi-layer technique also helps extend results.

Q:Will my temples swell after filler?

A:Mild swelling is possible and typically subsides within 1-3 days. Bruising varies by individual but resolves within a week. Cold compresses help reduce swelling.

Q:Do I need to fill my temples if they’re sunken?

A:Not necessarily. Mild hollowing is a normal facial feature. But if temple hollowing makes your cheekbones look overly prominent or your face appear unbalanced, filler can effectively improve overall proportions.

Q:Can I combine temple filler with cheekbone filler?

A:Yes, and they’re frequently done together. Temples and cheekbones are key areas defining the upper facial contour — simultaneous adjustment achieves better harmony.

Q:What products are suitable for temple filler?

A:HA products with higher lifting capacity are preferred because the temple area must withstand pressure from chewing and other movements. Rappoel uses high G-prime products specifically designed for facial skeletal support.
