Temple (temporal) hollowing is a common yet often overlooked facial contour issue among Asians. Sunken temples make cheekbones appear overly prominent, disrupt facial flow, and create a tired, gaunt appearance. Hyaluronic acid filler is the safest and most effective non-surgical solution, and Rappoel Dermatology Clinic in Seoul uses The Chaeum filler series for precise temporal augmentation.
Effects of Temple Hollowing
- Disrupted facial harmony: Hollow temples create an unbalanced “top-narrow, bottom-wide” appearance
- Overly prominent cheekbones: Hollowing visually amplifies cheekbone protrusion
- Fatigued appearance: Temple fullness is a hallmark of youthful faces
- Poor side profile: The transition from forehead to cheek appears gaunt
How Temple Filler Works
The temple zone includes multiple tissue layers: periosteum, deep fat pads, and superficial soft tissue. Both bone resorption and fat pad atrophy can cause hollowing. The Chaeum filler is precisely injected to restore lost volume:
- Restore facial fullness — smooth, balanced facial outline
- Soften cheekbone prominence — temples fill out, cheekbones recede visually
- Restore youthful “inverted triangle” proportions
- Improve side profile — seamless forehead-to-cheek transition
Rappoel Technique
- Cannula technique — reduced vascular risk in this vessel-rich zone
- Supra-periosteal placement — stable structural support
- Zone-by-zone evaluation and injection
- Bilateral symmetry confirmed intraoperatively

Results and Longevity
- Immediate fullness upon injection
- Slight swelling resolves in 2–3 days for natural results
- Duration: 12–18 months (temple area has minimal movement, slowing filler absorption)
- Reversible — hyaluronidase can dissolve if needed
