Temple Fillers in London
Restore youthful contours with specialized temple enhancement at our trusted cosmetic clinic in London.
The aging process is a complex biological journey that affects every layer of the facial structure, from the skeletal foundation to the superficial skin. While many patients focus on the mid-face or lips, our specialists understand that true rejuvenation often begins in the upper face. Our advanced temple filler treatments address temporal hollowing—a subtle yet significant sign of aging that can dramatically impact your overall facial harmony.
Often referred to as the “hidden key” to a refreshed look, the temples provide the structural frame for the upper face. When this area loses volume, it can lead to a “skeletal” or gaunt appearance, causing the brow to drop and the eyes to lose their framing. Temple fillers and forehead fillers work together synergistically to rejuvenate the upper face, creating a refreshed, balanced appearance that looks entirely natural. At our Harley Street facility, we combine medical precision with aesthetic artistry to turn back the clock.

Temple Filler Cost: Pricing Overview in London
We believe in complete transparency regarding the investment required for your aesthetic journey. Our temple enhancement treatments are priced according to treatment complexity, the specific technique required (needle vs. cannula), and the amount of filler used to achieve the desired correction.
Multiple treatment package options are available. During a complimentary consultation, we provide a detailed quote. The exact cost depends on the type of filler used and individual requirements, as some patients with high metabolic rates may require a denser, more long-lasting product.

Temple Filler Results: Before and After
The visual impact of treating the temple area is often described by patients as a “mini-lift.” Because the temples act as a support pillar for the lateral brow and cheek, restoring volume here has a ripple effect across the face.
Temple filler treatment creates remarkable transformations, including:
Restored temporal volume: We fill the concavity that creates the “peanut” head shape, returning the face to a youthful oval or heart shape.
Enhanced upper facial width: This creates better proportions, balancing the width of the forehead with the jawline.
Improved facial structure and balance: By smoothing the transition from the brow bone to the hairline, we eliminate harsh shadows.
Reduced shadowing effect: Hollowing creates dark shadows around the temples; filling this area reflects light, making the face appear brighter.
Softened temporal concavity: We aim for a natural look, avoiding over-filling which can look distinctively artificial.
Results develop naturally. While you will see an immediate change, the final contour emerges as the filler settles over 1-2 weeks and integrates with your tissue, with optimal results visible by week 3. Most clients enjoy their refreshed appearance for 12-18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual lifestyle factors.
How Temple Fillers Work to Restore Youthful Appearance
To understand the treatment, one must understand the anatomy. The temple is not just a void; it is a complex intersection of muscle (temporalis), bone, and distinct fat pads. Temple fillers are an advanced cosmetic solution that addresses volume loss in the temple area by mimicking these deep fat pads that atrophy with age.
As we age, we lose volume in this crucial region due to bone resorption and the degradation of the temporal fat pad. This creates sunken temples that can make the face appear gaunt and aged. Our dermal filler treatment precisely targets temple hollowing to restore lost volume and revitalize your facial structure.
The Science of the Procedure
The temple region requires specialized expertise due to its complex anatomy and proximity to important structures like the superficial temporal artery. Our specialists use high-density fillers like premium hyaluronic acid-based products specifically formulated for the temporal area’s unique requirements. These fillers have a high “G-prime” (lifting capacity), allowing them to hold their shape against the strong pressure of the temporalis muscle, ensuring the result is smooth and durable.
Benefits of Temple Dermal Filler Treatment
Patients often come to us requesting eye lifts or cheek fillers, not realizing that the root of their dissatisfaction lies in the temple. Temple enhancement offers multiple aesthetic and therapeutic advantages:
Restores volume in the temples: This is the primary mechanism for improved facial symmetry.
Creates more youthful and refreshed upper facial contours: It acts as a scaffold, keeping the upper face “open.”
Improves eyebrow position: By re-inflating the temple, we can provide a subtle lift to the tail of the brow area.
Reduces shadowing and sunken appearance: This leads to a healthier, more rested look.
Minimises fine lines and wrinkles: The volume expansion can stretch the skin gently, smoothing crow’s feet in the temple region.
Balances overall facial proportions: It harmonizes the upper, mid, and lower face.
Provides long-lasting results: Due to the depth of injection and the nature of the tissue, temple fillers often outlast lip or nasolabial fillers.
Non-surgical approach: You achieve structural changes with minimal downtime compared to surgical implants.
Temple Fillers and Forehead Fillers: Comprehensive Upper Face Rejuvenation
The forehead and temples are anatomically continuous. Treating one without considering the other can sometimes lead to disjointed results. For complete upper face rejuvenation, temple fillers can also be combined with forehead filler treatments. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple areas of the face that lose volume with age.
Temple fillers restore the lost volume in the temporal hollows, widening the upper face to its original youthful dimensions.
Forehead fillers smooth the contours of the forehead and address fine lines, correcting the flattening of the frontal bone.
Together, they create a harmonious, refreshed upper facial appearance. When we look at the symmetry of the face, a smooth curve from the center of the forehead, across the temple, and down to the cheekbone is the hallmark of youth. This combined treatment enhances the overall symmetry of the face for a naturally youthful look without appearing overdone or “frozen.”
Temple Filler Procedure at Our London Clinic

Temple Fillers London: Our Specialized Treatments
At our clinic in London, we do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. We provide specialized temple enhancement options tailored to the degree of volume loss:
Targeted Volume Restoration
This is designed for precise correction of temple hollowing. We use dermal temple fillers to add volume exactly where needed, deep on the periosteum (bone). This lifts the tissue from the inside out.
Progressive Enhancement Protocol
For patients nervous about sudden changes, we offer gradual volume building. This allows for natural results, allowing the filler to settle and integrate beautifully with surrounding tissues over 2-3 sessions.
Combined Upper Face Rejuvenation
This includes comprehensive treatment including temple fillers and forehead fillers to refresh multiple areas for harmonious results. This is ideal for significant weight loss patients or older demographics.
Maintenance Program
Aging continues even after treatment. We offer scheduled treatments to preserve your youthful look with ongoing assessments of volume in the temples. Small “top-ups” are often more effective than large treatments done infrequently.
Related Treatments to Complement Temple Fillers
To maximize facial rejuvenation, consider combining temple fillers with other procedures. A holistic approach often yields the best satisfaction.
Cheek Filler
The temple and cheek are neighbors. Cheek filler can restore volume to the mid-face. Often, lifting the cheek provides support to the lower temple, making the temple filler treatment more effective.
Lip Filler
Balance your refreshed upper face with defined, youthful lips. A rejuvenated upper face can sometimes make thin lips look more obvious by contrast.
Collagen Stimulating Treatments
While hyaluronic acid provides volume, collagen stimulators (like Poly-L-Lactic Acid) can enhance skin condition and promote natural collagen production in the temple region over time, thickening the skin itself.
Frequently Asked Questions About Temple Fillers
How long do temple fillers last?
Temple fillers typically maintain efficacy for 12-18 months. The longevity varies based on the type of filler used, the injection technique (deep injections tend to last longer), and individual metabolic factors. High-density fillers used in this region degrade slower than softer lip fillers. Our advanced placement techniques often extend results beyond standard durations.
Are temple fillers dangerous?
Any medical procedure carries risk, but temple filler administration is safe when performed by experts. It requires extensive anatomical knowledge due to the region’s complex structure, specifically the superficial temporal artery. When performed by qualified specialists using appropriate techniques (such as aspiration or cannula use) and premium filler products, the safety profile is excellent. We employ advanced assessment and precise injection protocols to ensure optimal safety.
How much filler is needed for temples?
The amount of filler required varies. Most patients require 1-2ml per side for optimal correction. The precise volume depends on the degree of temple hollowing, facial symmetry, and desired outcome. A patient with severe “skeletal” hollowing may need more to fully restore lost volume, whereas a younger patient may only need a small touch-up. We determine exact quantities through detailed pre-treatment assessment.
Is temple filler worth it?
Temple filler is a non-surgical investment that yields high returns in facial harmony. Temple restoration provides significant aesthetic improvement for those looking to restore lost volume in this area. The treatment offers exceptional value through its ability to enhance overall facial harmony while addressing age-related volume loss. It is often the treatment that makes friends say, “You look rested,” without knowing why.
Is there downtime after temple filler treatment?
There is minimal downtime associated with temple filler procedures. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this typically resolves within a few days. The veins in the temple are visible, so bruising can happen, but is easily covered. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Can temple fillers help with fine lines and wrinkles?
While primarily designed to restore volume, temple fillers can also help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the temple area (crow’s feet) by supporting the skin and improving overall contours. By re-inflating the underlying balloon of the temple, the skin on top smooths out.
Does the injection hurt?
The temple can be a sensitive area, but we take every precaution. We use a local anesthetic, and the filler used typically contains lidocaine. Patients usually report a feeling of pressure or a “crunching” sensation (which is normal as the filler is placed) rather than sharp pain.
How do I know if I need temple filler?
If you notice that the tail of your eyebrow is dropping, or if you feel your face looks “pinched” at the sides of your eyes, you likely have volume loss in the temple area. Standing in front of a mirror and pulling the skin at your temples slightly outwards can simulate the effect; if this makes you look fresher, temple dermal filler is likely a good option for you.
