In a youthful face, the temples are full, convex, round or oval. As we age, this turns into a skeletal shape due to loss of temporal fascia, reduction in volume and the temporal fossa becoming more apparent and concave. One of the secondary effects is a loss of support for the eyebrows.1 This loss of volume is a result of the temporalis atrophies and the temporal fat pads decreasing, resulting in an undesirable, hollow appearance.1
Achieving a balanced and youthful appearance whilst counteracting volume loss can be achieved through dermal filler augmentation.2 Some facial manifestations of ageing reflect the combined effects of gravity, progressive bone resorption, decreased tissue elasticity and redistribution of subcutaneous fullness.3 Fat may reposition or shift within facial compartments due to gravity, causing an inferomedial displacement of the overlying skin envelope.
