HYALURONIC ACID TEMPLES

The initial consultation is indispensable, assessing the whole face rather than temples alone. Hollowing may be constitutional, age-related, linked to fat loss or significant weight changes.
Dr Romano assesses depth, symmetry, skin quality and relationships with other areas at rest and in movement, sometimes with medical photographs.
History covers conditions, current treatments and prior injections of hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin or Sculptra. This establishes a personalised, realistic and safe plan.

Treatment suits women and men with visible hollowing giving an emaciated or aged appearance.
It is also recommended when lost lateral brow support makes eyes look harder or more closed. Some younger patients seek enhancement to rebalance volume and soften contours.
It may complement comprehensive ageing care alongside cheekbone, chin or facial contour injections.

The main benefit is overall facial aesthetics. Restored temple volume gives harmonious continuity without abrupt transitions.
Immediate, adjustable and reversible effects offer reassurance. Correction is subtle without artificial feature changes.
Indirect improvement in the eye area is another advantage. Restored support can slightly raise the brow, making eyes look more open and rested.

Avoid anti-inflammatory medicines and aspirin in preceding days to limit bruising.
Avoid alcohol during the preceding 24 hours. Arrive without make-up on treatment areas for optimal disinfection.
Sufficient rest the previous night improves recovery.

Treatment takes place under strict asepsis, with careful cleansing and disinfection.
Anaesthetic cream may be applied according to sensitivity and product, although most modern gels already contain local anaesthetic.
A fine needle or cannula injects deeply against temporal bone. Slow, precise and controlled placement avoids excess and respects vascular anatomy. Treatment averages fifteen minutes.

The region needs highly cohesive, strongly volumising product providing excellent support and harmonious deep integration.
Lightly cross-linked or overly fluid gels are unsuitable. Selection follows precise medical criteria including depth, desired duration and patient profile.

Avoid pressure or manipulation for a few days. Temporarily avoid intense heat such as saunas or steam rooms.
Postpone intense sport for 24 to 48 hours. Cold compresses may help swelling.

The protocol requires thorough anatomy knowledge. Usually deep, supraperiosteal injection gives lasting support.
Moderate volumes are gradually adjusted. Dr Romano favours progressive correction over excessive single-session quantity. Gentle massage may ensure even distribution.
Immediate visual checks assess symmetry and integration.

Filling subtly and controllably restores volume while respecting harmony. It never aims for artificial enlargement, but correction of gradual loss often causing a hollow, hard or prematurely aged appearance.
Subtle, even curves improve overall coherence. Forehead-to-cheekbone and lateral transitions become smoother, removing visual breaks. The face looks rested and softer without an identifiable treated area.
Restored lateral support also slightly opens the eyes without altered expression, particularly appreciated when eyes have grown harder-looking over time.
Effects are immediately perceptible but subtle, improving over weeks as product integrates deeply. Final naturalness gives a balanced, fresher face without revealing treatment. This imperceptibility marks success.

Effects average between 12 and 18 months, varying with metabolism, product and volume.
Annual maintenance preserves results and accompanies natural evolution gradually and elegantly.

Recovery is usually straightforward. Slight tenderness, moderate swelling or small bruises may occur within hours and resolve within days.
Activities resume quickly. Immediate results stabilise over the following two to three weeks after full integration.

Patients usually describe improved overall harmony without a targeted or artificial change. Follow-up shows a balanced face with softened lateral contours preserving identity and expression.
Benefits are often recognised indirectly as a rested appearance whose cause others cannot identify. This subtlety is central to satisfaction.
