Treatment for Sunken Temples: Reshape the Facial Oval
The temple area is one of the most critical areas, framing the upper part of the face and supporting a youthful expression. Hollowing in the temples due to aging, rapid weight loss, or genetic factors can cause the face to look "skeletal," tired, and older than it is. At our clinic in Caddebostan, Istanbul, we address the problem of sunken temples not just as a filler procedure, but as a "lifting" strategy that elevates the face. We restore the temple line with hyaluronic acid fillers and bio-stimulants like poly-L-lactic acid, giving your face a more vibrant and balanced appearance.
Why do temples sink and how does it affect the face?
Volume loss in the temple area initiates a chain reaction that directly affects the overall aesthetics of the face:
Volume Loss: The atrophy of fat pads in the temples and the regression of bone structure result in noticeable depressions in this area.
Drooping Brows: The temple area acts as an "anchor" supporting the outer edge of the brow. When volume decreases, the brows droop downwards, giving the gaze a sad expression.
Prominent Cheekbones: The sunken temples cause the cheekbones to appear disproportionately prominent, disrupting the smooth contours of the facial oval.
What do we do to treat sunken temples?
At our clinic, we utilize two fundamental and powerful methods for temporal restoration:
Temple Filler (Hyaluronic Acid): We use high-density hyaluronic acid fillers to instantly fill the hollows in the temples and restore the soft contours the face has lost. This procedure also creates a lifting effect that indirectly lifts the tail of the brow.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA): This method uses a bio-stimulant that activates the skin's own collagen production. When applied to the temple area, it thickens the tissue over time and provides a much more natural, gradual increase in volume, tightening the face from within.
What are the advantages and duration of effect of sunken temple treatment?
The biggest advantage of these treatments is that they instantly provide a more youthful expression by softening the sharp and harsh appearance of the upper part of the face.
Immediate Results: Hyaluronic acid fillers eliminate hollowness the moment they are injected.
Long-Term Repair: Poly-l-lactic acid application shows its effect from the first month by stimulating collagen production, ensuring a much longer-lasting result (up to 1.5-2 years).
Vector Lift: Filling the temples and increasing tension in the sides of the face helps to alleviate sagging in the mid-face.
Safe Temple Filler Treatments in Istanbul
The temple area is an anatomically sensitive region where many important blood vessels pass underneath. Injections in this area must be performed safely, usually with a cannula, by a physician familiar with deep tissue anatomy. At our clinic in Caddebostan, Istanbul, we analyze each patient's facial proportions and vascular structure and apply the safest techniques. As Dr. Semih Küçükcankurtaran, we offer professional solutions that will brighten your gaze without disrupting the balance of your face.
Prices for Sunken Temple Treatment in Istanbul
Temple filler prices vary depending on the depth of the hollowness, the amount of filler used, or the poly-L-lactic acid treatment plan.
