Temple Filler in Seoul |
Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic
Hollow temples can make a face look older or thinner than it really is. At Apgujeong EU:GENES Skin Clinic, Dr. Jung Yoo-jin restores this often-overlooked area carefully, with close attention to safety.
What is temple filler?
Temple filler uses hyaluronic acid filler to restore volume at the sides of the forehead, between the eyebrow tail and the hairline. With age, weight loss or intense exercise, this area often sinks inward, making the brow bone look prominent and the upper face appear narrow.
Restoring the temples creates a smoother, more continuous outline from forehead to cheekbone, a subtle change that can make the whole face look softer and healthier.
Who is it for?
Temple filler may suit people who have:
- Visible hollows or concavity at the temples
- An angular or "skeletal" upper face
- A narrow forehead compared with the cheeks
- Slight brow tail droop linked to volume loss
It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection, a filler allergy, or uncontrolled bleeding disorders. If your temples are naturally full, filler is unlikely to add benefit.
Benefits
- Softens hollow, tired-looking temples
- Creates a smoother facial frame
- Can gently support the outer brow
- Complements cheek and forehead treatments
Your treatment at EU:GENES
It starts with a doctor-led 1:1 consultation. Dr. Jung assesses your temples from the front and at an angle, since hollowing is often more visible from the side, and considers how they connect to your forehead and cheeks.
The temple is a higher-risk area. It contains important arteries and veins, some of which connect to vessels around the eye. For this reason the doctor chooses the injection depth and technique very carefully, often placing filler deep on the bone or using a blunt cannula in a safer plane, and injecting slowly. She performs every step herself, reviews the result with you, and gives you clear aftercare instructions plus WhatsApp support.
Results and how long they last
The change is visible right away and softens further as swelling settles over one to two weeks. For most patients, temple filler lasts roughly 12 to 18 months, since this area moves less than the lower face.
Downtime, aftercare and possible side effects
Tenderness, especially when chewing, is common for a few days because the chewing muscle runs under the temple. Mild swelling, bruising and occasional headaches can also occur. Avoid tight hats, glasses with firm arms pressing on the area, massaging, and hard exercise for a couple of days.
Other possible side effects include unevenness and visible lumps if filler is placed too shallow. The most serious, though rare, complication is vascular occlusion, which can damage the skin and, very rarely, affect vision. Choosing an experienced physician is essential, and you should contact us immediately about severe pain, skin color change or any change in eyesight.
