Hollowed temples, filled softly
When temples hollow, the cheekbone stands out and the impression looks harsh we design naturally while looking at the upper-face frame together
Does this impression concern you?
My temples look sunken
As my temples hollow, my cheekbones stand out more
I'm told I look tired and my features look harsh
My upper-face profile looks empty and older
Even with glasses, the temple area looks empty
We don't fill the temples alone we look at the transition running to the forehead, cheekbone, and side together
We look at the upper-face frame first
The temple is the outer frame of the upper face linking the forehead and cheekbone. When it hollows, the facial contour looks angular.
- Forehead–temple–cheekbone connection · designed along the smooth curve linking the three areas
- Softening cheekbone prominence · restoring temple volume makes the cheekbone look relatively less prominent
- Hairline & brow line considered · the amount is set within balance with the surrounding lines
A natural side-view transition
Not only from the front but also in the side view, the flow running temple–cheekbone–cheek matters. The side curvature must be designed together for dimension to come alive.
- Small-volume layered dispersion · rather than concentrating in one spot, thin multiple layers create a natural curve
- Expression movement considered · low-movement positions are prioritized so it doesn't look unnatural when smiling
- Avoiding overcorrection · restoring only as much as the lost volume, without a puffy look
The NB temple fat-graft design method
From analysis to graft survival and stabilization, we design considering the process of settling in, not a one-time volume.
Precise volume analysis
We analyze the degree of temple hollowing, left-right asymmetry, and the connection with surrounding areas together
Micro fat purification
The harvested autologous fat is finely purified to prepare it for even grafting and survival
Layered small-volume dispersion
Dispersed grafting divided into thin layers creates a natural curve
Survival & stabilization considered
Graft survival varies by individual. Before stabilization we avoid overhasty judgment and monitor the course together
Rather than the temples alone, we look at the whole upper face
A hollowed temple doesn't become natural just by filling that spot. We look at and design the transition running forehead–temple–cheekbone and the upper-face frame together.
- Upper-face frame diagnosis · forehead curvature, temple hollowing, and cheekbone projection are checked together on one view
- Transition-flow design · the amount is set along a curve that connects naturally in both front and side views
- Direct specialist consultation · the doctor who consults designs and operates directly to complete the intended impression
When the temples are filled, the impression softens
Upper-face frame restoration · softening cheekbone prominence · natural side transition
Areas good to consider together
The temple connects with the forehead and midface. Designing them together is more natural.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an effect from doing just the temples?
The temples alone can change the impression, but looking at the connection with the forehead and cheekbone together is more natural. We review together in consultation which extent is appropriate.
Does filling the temples really make the cheekbone less visible?
When temple volume is restored, the cheekbone can look relatively less prominent. However, the skeleton itself doesn't change greatly; it's a concept of refining the balance of the impression.
How naturally does it last?
Surviving autologous fat lasts relatively long. Graft survival varies by individual, so fine adjustment may be needed depending on the course.
How long is the recovery period?
Initial swelling is usually 1–2 weeks, and volume stabilization proceeds over several months. It varies by individual.
How is it different from filler?
Filler fills with an external material, while fat grafting moves your own fat and lets it take. The suitable method differs by area and condition.
