Temple Hollowing Treatment: Why It’s Key for Youthful Eyes
Temple hollowing is often overlooked in facial rejuvenation, yet it plays a crucial role in how young or tired the eye area appears. As we age, volume loss occurs not only under the eyes and cheeks but also in the temples. Hollow temples can create a skeletal, sunken look, casting shadows that make the eyes appear older and more tired.
Understanding why temple restoration matters can help both patients and practitioners achieve more natural and harmonious results.
What Is Temple Hollowing?
The temples are the area between the outer eyebrows and the hairline. With age, the fat pads, soft tissue, and bone in this region begin to shrink. This creates a concave depression that affects the shape of the face.
Symptoms of Temple Hollowing:
Sunken, concave appearance at the sides of the forehead
Eyebrow drooping or flattening
Hollow shadows that make the eyes look deep-set
Prominent bony contours and veins
Why Temple Volume Loss Affects the Eye Area
Treating only the under-eye area can lead to incomplete or unnatural results. This is because the temple region supports the lateral brow and upper face.
How Temple Loss Impacts Youthfulness:
Dark shadows accentuate tired-looking eyes
Lateral brow ptosis (droop) causes a sad or heavy-eye appearance
Facial imbalance — the upper face looks narrow while the lower face appears wider
Sharper transitions between the forehead and cheekbones rather than smooth contours
Simply put, youthful faces have smooth convexity from the forehead through the temples to the cheeks. Restoring volume here helps recreate this natural flow.
How Is Temple Hollowing Treated?
1. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Soft to medium-density hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used.
Provide subtle lift and volume
Results are immediate
Last 8–12 months depending on product and patient metabolism
2. Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse)
These stimulate collagen production for longer-term structural improvement.
Results develop progressively over months
Ideal for patients with significant tissue loss or thin skin
Longer-lasting: 18–24 months
3. Fat Grafting (Autologous Fat Transfer)
Uses the patient's own fat for natural, long-lasting volume.
Suited for advanced aging or major volume deficits
Requires minor surgical procedure
Results can last several years
Treatment Techniques
Injection is typically performed using a cannula or needle
The filler is placed deep, often on bone (supraperiosteal) or within deep fat compartments
Small amounts are added gradually to avoid overfilling
Aesthetic goal is a smooth, natural contour — not fullness
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Temple treatment is ideal for individuals who:
Notice hollowness or concavity at the temples
Feel their eyes look tired despite getting under-eye fillers
Have drooping or flattened outer eyebrows
Want more harmonious facial proportions
When to Combine Temple Treatment with Other Procedures
Temple hollowing is often treated together with:
Final Thoughts
Temple hollowing is one of the most underrated signs of aging. While many focus on under-eye fillers or cheek volume, the temples contribute significantly to brow position, eye brightness, and facial symmetry.
Restoring volume in this area softens shadows, lifts the brows, and brings balance back to the upper face — making the eyes appear more open, youthful, and refreshed.
