Abstract

Background: Cosmetically unappealing temporal volume loss can develop as a result of facial aging.

Objective: To present an evidenced-based approach towards safe and effective temple filling.

Methods: We review the underlying anatomy of the temple and optimal anatomy-driven injection techniques associated with temple volumization.

Results: Multiple safe injection planes exist to achieve temporal volumization.

Conclusion: A thorough understanding of optimal injection techniques based on the underlying anatomy mitigates the incidence and severity of adverse events, enhancing treatment success.
