Temple Filler Melbourne | Core Aesthetics Oakleigh

Temple filler consultations at Core Aesthetics involve individual assessment of temporal volume and upper facial framing. The temporal region is one of the earliest areas to show age related volume loss and its contribution to overall facial appearance is frequently underestimated. Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575), assesses the temples as part of a full facial review at consultation.

Temporal Hollowing and the Upper Face

The temples form the upper lateral frame of the face. As volume reduces in this area with age, the face takes on a narrower, more hollowed appearance in the upper third. This affects how the brow, eye and cheek area appear, often making the face look drawn or tired even when the lower face remains relatively full.

Temporal hollowing develops gradually over years, which means many clients seeking treatment for other facial areas are unaware that temporal volume loss is significantly contributing to the overall aged appearance they are concerned about.

Assessment and Treatment Approach

The temporal region involves significant vascular anatomy and requires careful assessment and technique. At Core Aesthetics, Corey assesses the temples in the context of the full upper face, looking at the relationship between temporal volume, the brow, upper cheek and overall upper facial frame before making any recommendation.

If temple treatment is appropriate, the technique, product and realistic outcome for your individual anatomy are discussed fully at consultation. If treatment of a different area would be more effective, Corey will explain that clearly.

The Importance of Temporal Volume

The temples are one of the earliest areas of the face to show volume loss with age. Hollowing in the temporal region creates a gaunt or skeletal appearance at the sides of the upper face, narrows the perceived width of the face and affects how the eyes and brows are framed. In younger clients, naturally low temporal volume can similarly reduce upper facial fullness.

Temple filler at Core Aesthetics uses prescription hyaluronic acid based dermal filler to address temporal hollowing as part of a whole face assessment.

Assessment at Core Aesthetics

Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996), assesses the temporal region as part of a full facial review. Temple volume is considered in the context of overall upper face framing, brow position and how the temples relate to the cheeks and forehead. Treatment in this area is typically conservative, as accurate placement in the temporal fossa requires precise technique.

The temples are assessed as part of a broader conversation about upper face rejuvenation. Corey discusses at consultation whether temple treatment alone is appropriate or whether addressing other volume concerns would be a more effective starting point for the individual presentation.

What to Expect

Temple filler is placed carefully in the temporal fossa using a technique that prioritises safety in this anatomically complex region. Results are typically visible immediately and last twelve to eighteen months or more in this low movement area. Bruising can occur but is generally minimal.
