Temple Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul
Hollow temples make the upper face look narrow and the cheekbones sharp. Filling them softens the outline from forehead to cheek, a subtle change that often makes a face look healthier.
Quick answer
Temple filler restores volume in the hollow at the side of the forehead, between the brow and hairline. A smooth temple gives a softer, oval face shape and can slightly support the brow tail. Usually 0.5–1.5 ml per side is placed deep or with a cannula. Swelling is mild and results usually last 12–18 months.
Why do temples become hollow?
Temple hollowing comes from fat loss, a lean build or ageing of the bone. In Korea, a smooth, round temple is part of a soft face outline, and many younger patients treat naturally hollow temples too.
Who is it for?
- Visible dips at the sides of the forehead.
- A face outline that narrows sharply above the cheekbones.
- People with a low brow tail who want a little support, alongside a Botox brow lift.
How Obliv plans temple filler
The temple contains important vessels, so your doctor maps them, then places filler either deep on the bone or in a safer superficial plane with a blunt cannula, in small amounts, checking the outline from the front.
