Quick answer
What does temple filler do?
Temple filler places hyaluronic acid filler into hollowed temples, the area beside the eyes and above the cheekbones. Filling this dip smooths the outline of the upper face, can make the eyebrow tail look slightly lifted, and reduces a tired or gaunt look.
Temples often hollow with age, weight loss or fitness training. Because the contour of the whole face is connected, temple filler is commonly planned together with cheek fillers or forehead contouring.

FAQ
Temple filler questions
Is temple filler painful?
It is usually well tolerated. Numbing and lidocaine help, though some feel pressure or soreness when chewing for a few days.
How much filler is needed?
Commonly 1–2 ml per side, depending on the depth of the hollow.
Can temple filler lift the eyebrows?
It can give a subtle lift to the tail of the brow by restoring support, but it is not a brow lift.
Is it safe?
The temple has important blood vessels, so deep placement on the bone or a cannula technique is used by an experienced doctor.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
