Changes in the appearance of the temple area are a common part of the natural ageing process. This page provides information about volume-adding treatment as a non-surgical option that may be considered for addressing these changes, and what to expect from the consultation and treatment process.
A consultation at Ascension Cosmetic Medicine with Dr Scott Allison is recommended as a starting point. This allows your clinician to assess your individual anatomy and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Why does volume loss occur in the temple area?
Over time, it is common to experience gradual changes in the temple region, including a reduction in volume that can alter the appearance of the upper face. These are normal changes associated with the ageing process, involving shifts in bone density, fat distribution, and soft tissue over time.
The temples, located just behind the outer corners of the eyes, contribute to the overall proportions of the upper face. Changes in this area may affect the relationship between the forehead, brow, and cheek regions.
What happens during a temple volume support appointment?
Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your facial structure and individual health circumstances. Based on this assessment, your clinician will discuss a treatment approach and what may be achievable for your specific situation.
In some cases, temple treatment may be considered alongside support in nearby areas such as the brow or forehead, depending on individual assessment. Any combined approach will be discussed and agreed upon during your consultation.
What can I expect after treatment?
Temporary swelling, redness, or mild bruising may occur, but these effects are usually minimal and resolve within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24 hours and keeping the area clean and makeup-free during the initial healing phase.
