Temples are quite possibly one of the most neglected treatment areas in facial rejuvenation; very few individuals will know or notice when this area requires a little volume. Temple hollowing causes a gaunt and skeletal look. The hollowing may also cause the eyebrows to appear droopy.
Volumising the temples not only provides a softer, more youthful look but it also contributes to creating the appearance of an eyebrow lift. Temples connect the upper portion of the face to the middle portion of the face. Hollowing of the temples causes a harsh disruption to the facial curvatures and typically this appearance translates into a tired, gaunt and unhealthy appearance.
Many patients who receive temple filler have sought the following:
1. Wishing to appear younger
2. Wanting an eyebrow lift
3. Desiring to look healthy and rejuvenated
Size
There are several factors that naturally contribute to loss of volume in this area including age, facial structure and sometimes even weight (something that is a prevalent contributor to volume loss in the younger generation). The severity of the lost volume at the temples will indicate the amount of filler required.
Shape
In female, a well-injected temple contributes to a beautiful curvature, starting from the margin of forehead and ending with the cheeks. In males, we like to keep facial lines in a vertical fashion so overfilling is not recommended.
Rejuvenation/Restructuring
This is a highly overlooked area when injecting to restore youth to an individual’s aesthetic. If left untreated this can masculinise women as it contributes to a ‘dip’ above the eyes, making the tail of the eyebrow difficult to view from many angles. When looking at their profile, this can make the temple appear ‘straight’ which is something that is commonly viewed as physical being a male attribute. While this is more acceptable in men, too little volume in the area can make both genders appear unhealthy and generally ‘unwell’.
Beyond The Box
We think far ahead before we pick up our syringe and inject. Many factors come into our mind when we design your face. It is important to remember that we are viewed from all angles and that your treatment at Eleventh Heaven takes that in to consideration, ensuring that you will look beautiful & well-presented from all angles.

The temples usually will require direct treatment but occasionally the treatment may extend to the hairline/forehead for blending effects.
Anaesthetic is typically not required. The presence of anaesthetic agent incorporated in the filler will make the procedure very tolerable with minimal discomfort.
Product selection is solely a clinical decision based on the factors discussed above.
Whilst our patients do not ask about the brand or name of the product because of the trust they have bestowed upon us, you can be assured we only use premium and Australian government approved product that we have sourced from authorised and genuine supplier. In addition, Eleventh Heaven™ only uses dermal fillers from reputable manufacturers and products that are backed up by sufficient clinical data.
With our years of experience and numbers of patients treated, we have used and trialled most of the premium & approved dermal fillers available in Australia. Eleventh Heaven™ has therefore gathered enough experience and knowledge about the different rheological properties of various dermal fillers to select the best and safest products available.
For cheek filler, a dermal filler that is thick and firm is required to give projection or replace deep fat/bone structural loss. If we are trying to replace more superficial fat loss, we require a product that moves with your muscle movements (e.g. during smiling). Appropriate product with corresponding technology/rheology will be selected based on your tissue thickness and aesthetic goal.
* As dermal filler is classified as prescription-only medicine in Australia, we are not able to name the brands.
* Please be aware there are many counterfeit injectable products due to illegal importation into Australia.
Swelling is possible and common for the first 48 hours. Any swelling and bruises after 24 hours can usually be covered with makeup easily.
As with all medical procedures, side effects or complications are possible. These are usually very mild, minor and self-limited.
