Hollow Temples

Your temples lie at the side of your face, just behind your eyes, between the forehead and the ear.  They help to define and shape a youthful appearance when they are full.  As you age, your temple area may lose volume, resulting in a hollowing effect.  The more apparent this becomes the more emphasized the skull shape is underneath, resulting in what is sometimes described as a “peanut effect”, a wide forehead, narrow temples, prominent cheek bones with hollow cheeks beneath.  The ends of our eyebrows sometimes also get “lost” in the hollow.

Although it might be hard for you to pinpoint exactly what about your face has changed, a skilled practitioner will spot this volume loss and suggest appropriate treatment in the temporal region.  Treatment can fill the hollow areas and replace lost volume.  This will help to improve the balance of your overall face shape and provide a more youthful appearance.
