Temple hollows: understanding upper-face volume and support
Where the temple fits into the face
The temples sit at the sides of the forehead, between the outer brow, hairline and cheekbone. Their contour helps create the transition from the upper face to the midface. A soft, balanced transition can influence the overall impression of facial fullness.
Why temple contours differ
Temple shape reflects bone structure, the temporalis muscle, facial fat and the tissues covering them. Some people naturally have a more defined hollow; others notice a change in fullness over time. Understanding your own starting point helps us plan an appropriate degree of support.
Looking beyond the hollow
We assess the temple alongside the forehead, outer brow and cheekbone. The aim is to see how the area contributes to your facial proportions rather than treating it as an isolated space. Front, profile and three-quarter views each provide useful information.
Volume and tissue quality have different roles
A distinct hollow may lead to a discussion about targeted volume restoration. Broader changes in tissue support may favour a gradual collagen-stimulating approach. We explain these roles so you can understand why a particular temple treatment is being recommended.
Preserving your natural proportions
Our preference is a gentle transition that respects the shape of your upper face. We consider facial width, existing cheek support and your desired finish together. The plan is built around your features and the change that would feel most useful to you.
