Temple Filler Restore Hollow Temples in Korea
Hollow temples are one of the most telltale signs of facial aging — the temporal fossa deepens as fat pads shrink and bone resorbs, creating a gaunt, skeletal appearance that makes the cheekbones and orbital rim appear overly prominent. Temple filler restores this lost volume in a single 15-minute procedure using cannula technique for maximum safety and minimal bruising. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, the Youthful Forehead Package includes LENA filler 3cc for both forehead and temples at ₩770,000. Airport pickup, 8-language support, 365 days open.
What Is Temple Filler and Why Do Temples Become Hollow?
Temple filler is a dermal filler injection into the temporal fossa — the concave area between the forehead, hairline, and outer eye corner — to restore volume lost through aging. Temples hollow because of three simultaneous processes: temporal fat pad atrophy (shrinkage), temporal bone resorption, and temporalis muscle thinning. This creates a gaunt, aged appearance. Filler restores the smooth, convex temple contour in 15 minutes with immediate, visible results lasting 6-18 months.
Temple hollowing is often called the ‘forgotten’ area of facial aging because patients focus on wrinkles, jowls, and under-eye bags while the temples quietly deepen. Yet temple volume loss is one of the earliest changes — beginning in the late 30s and progressively worsening through the 40s and 50s. The impact is significant: hollow temples create a top-heavy appearance where the upper orbital rim and zygomatic arch become overly prominent, the face looks narrower and more angular than it should, and the overall facial shape shifts from youthful oval to aged hourglass. Restoring temple volume produces one of the most dramatic rejuvenation effects per cc of filler injected. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, temple filler is performed exclusively with cannula technique — a blunt-tipped instrument inserted through a single entry point per temple. This approach dramatically reduces the risk of vascular complications compared to needle technique, as the temporal region contains the superficial temporal artery and the sentinel vein. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun and Dr. Kim Dong-Young select the filler product based on the depth of your temporal hollow: LENA HA filler for mild-to-moderate hollowing, Juvederm Voluma for deeper hollows requiring stronger lift, and Radiesse for patients who want the longest duration plus collagen stimulation. The Youthful Forehead Package (₩770,000) is particularly popular among international visitors as it addresses both temple hollows and forehead contour in a single session with 3cc of LENA filler. For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, temple filler combines naturally with full face filler packages and wrinkle botox.

How Temple Filler Works at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
A safe, precise protocol for temple volume restoration.
Temple Depth Assessment
Dr. Cho or Dr. Kim evaluates your temporal hollow depth, symmetry between left and right temples, overall facial proportions, and the relationship between temple volume and adjacent structures (forehead, orbital rim, cheekbones). The degree of hollowing is classified as mild (slight concavity), moderate (visible shadow), or severe (deep hollow with prominent bone), which determines the volume and product needed.
Product Selection & Planning
For mild-to-moderate hollowing, LENA HA filler provides excellent volume at competitive Korean pricing. For deeper hollows, Juvederm Voluma or Radiesse offer stronger structural support. Radiesse also stimulates endogenous collagen production for lasting improvement beyond the filler itself. Typical volume: 1-2cc per temple. The pricing is confirmed transparently before proceeding.
Cannula Injection (Single Entry Point)
After topical numbing cream application (20 minutes), a single entry point is created per temple with a tiny needle, then a blunt-tip cannula is inserted. The cannula glides through tissue without cutting vessels, depositing filler in the deep temporal plane (between the temporalis fascia and periosteum). The filler is distributed in a fan-shaped pattern for even coverage. This technique is dramatically safer than multiple needle injections in the vascular temple region.
Sculpting & Immediate Result
The doctor manually molds the filler for optimal contour and symmetry. Results are visible immediately — the temporal hollow is filled, the face looks fuller and more youthful. Mild swelling may occur for 1-3 days. Cold compress is applied. English aftercare instructions cover: avoid pressing temples for 48 hours, sleep face-up for 2 nights, avoid intense exercise for 24 hours.
What to Expect from Temple Filler
- Immediate Volume Restoration: Hollow temples filled instantly. The gaunt, aged appearance is replaced with a smooth, youthful contour.
- Facial Harmony: Restored temple volume balances the upper face, softening prominent orbital rims and creating an oval facial shape.
- Cannula Safety: Blunt-tip cannula technique minimizes vascular risk and reduces bruising to near zero in the vascular temple area.
- Long Duration: Temple filler lasts 6-18 months depending on product. Radiesse offers the longest duration plus collagen stimulation.
- High Impact Per CC: Temple filler produces one of the most dramatic rejuvenation effects relative to the amount of filler used.

The Science Behind Temple Filler Rejuvenation
Understanding temporal volume loss and the evidence for filler-based restoration.
Anatomy of the Temporal Fossa: Why Temples Hollow
The temporal fossa is bounded superiorly by the temporal line, anteriorly by the lateral orbital rim, and inferiorly by the zygomatic arch. It contains the temporalis muscle, the temporal fat pad (subdivided into superficial and deep components), the superficial temporal artery and vein, and branches of the facial and auriculotemporal nerves. Temple hollowing occurs through three simultaneous mechanisms: (1) atrophy of the temporal fat pad — the superficial temporal fat pad loses 20-30% of its volume between ages 30 and 60 (Gierloff et al., 2012); (2) resorption of the temporal bone and lateral orbital rim, which deepens the concavity; and (3) thinning of the temporalis muscle, particularly in patients with lower body weight or those who have lost teeth (reduced masticatory function). The combined effect is a progressively deepening hollow that makes the zygomatic arch, orbital rim, and frontal bone appear more prominent — creating the gaunt, aged appearance.
Vascular Safety: Why Cannula Technique Is Essential
The temporal region contains the superficial temporal artery (STA) — a major branch of the external carotid artery — along with the sentinel vein (which crosses the temporal fossa near the lateral orbital rim). Needle-based filler injection in this area carries a meaningful risk of arterial occlusion or venous compromise, which can cause skin necrosis or, in rare cases, vision loss if filler enters the ophthalmic arterial system through retrograde flow. Cho et al. (2020) demonstrated that cannula-based injection in the temporal region reduced vascular complication rates to near zero compared to needle technique, because the blunt-tip cannula deflects around vessels rather than piercing them. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, temple filler is performed exclusively with cannula technique: a single needle entry point is created in a safe zone, then a 22G or 25G blunt cannula is inserted to distribute filler in the deep temporal plane.
Injection Depth: The Deep Temporal Plane
Optimal temple filler placement is in the deep temporal plane — between the deep temporal fascia and the periosteum of the temporal bone. Injection at this depth achieves three goals: (1) the filler sits below the superficial temporal artery, reducing vascular risk; (2) the deep fascia provides a firm scaffolding layer that supports the filler and prevents migration; and (3) the result appears natural because the filler is deep enough to create a smooth convexity without visible lumps or irregularities. Rohrich and Pessa (2007) mapped the temporal fat compartments and identified the deep temporal plane as the ideal target for volume restoration, providing both safety and aesthetic superiority over superficial injection.

What Our Patients Say About Temple Filler at RE:BERRY
“I never realized how much my hollow temples were aging my face until Dr. Cho pointed it out during consultation. After just 1.5cc per temple with the Youthful Forehead Package, my face looks 5 years younger. The cannula technique meant zero bruising. The best ₩770,000 I have ever spent.”
“My temples were so hollow that people asked if I was unwell. Dr. Kim used Radiesse for longer-lasting results and the effect was immediate — my face looked fuller and healthier before I even left the clinic. Six months later, the results are still going strong.”
“I combined temple filler with forehead botox and cheek filler in one 60-minute session at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. The airport pickup made it easy since I was flying out the next day. Three treatments, total cost less than temple filler alone at my clinic in London. The result is incredible.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Temple Filler in Korea
Expert answers about temple volume restoration at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
The Youthful Forehead Package (LENA 3cc for forehead + temples) costs ₩770,000 at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. For temple-only treatment or alternative products (Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse), discuss pricing during your consultation. All prices exclude VAT.
Yes. Temple filler in the US costs $600-1,200 per syringe, UK £400-800. RE:BERRY’s Youthful Forehead Package at ₩770,000 for 3cc (covering both forehead and temples) represents 40-60% savings compared to Western pricing for temples alone.
Duration depends on the product used: LENA HA filler lasts 6-12 months, Juvederm Voluma 12-18 months, Radiesse 12-18 months. Radiesse additionally stimulates collagen production for lasting structural improvement beyond the filler itself.
The temporal region contains the superficial temporal artery, making it an anatomy-sensitive zone. RE:BERRY doctors use exclusively cannula technique (not needle) for temple injection, which deflects around vessels. Published studies show cannula technique reduces vascular complications to near zero.
A cannula is a blunt-tipped tube that glides through tissue without cutting vessels. Only one small needle entry point is needed per temple. The cannula distributes filler safely in the deep temporal plane. This is dramatically safer than multiple needle injections for the vascular temple area.
Typically 1-2cc per temple depending on the depth of hollowing. Mild hollowing: 1cc each. Moderate: 1.5cc each. Severe: 2cc each. The Youthful Forehead Package provides 3cc total for both forehead and temples, sufficient for most patients.
Yes, this is a popular combination at RE:BERRY. Forehead botox (₩9,900/site) smooths wrinkles while temple filler restores volume. Together they provide comprehensive upper face rejuvenation in a single 30-minute session.
Minimal discomfort. Topical numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes. Cannula technique requires only one tiny entry point per temple — most patients rate pain at 2-3 on a 10-point scale. The procedure is much more comfortable than multiple needle injections.
Yes. You can fly the same day after temple filler. Swelling is minimal with cannula technique. RE:BERRY recommends bringing a cold compress for the flight and avoiding pressing the temples against the airplane headrest.
Yes. Deep-plane injection produces smooth, natural-looking results without visible lumps or irregularities. The goal is to restore the smooth convex temple contour of youth — not to create unnatural fullness. Dr. Cho and Dr. Kim specialize in subtle, natural results.
HA fillers (LENA, Juvederm) can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) cannot be dissolved enzymatically. For first-time patients who want the safety of reversibility, RE:BERRY recommends starting with HA filler.
Three factors: temporal fat pad atrophy (the fat pads lose 20-30% volume between ages 30-60), temporal bone resorption (the bone itself shrinks), and temporalis muscle thinning. Weight loss, aging, and genetics all contribute.
Temple hollowing typically becomes noticeable in the late 30s to early 40s. Patients with lower body fat may notice it earlier. There is no specific age requirement — treatment is appropriate whenever the hollow bothers you aesthetically.
Yes. Many RE:BERRY patients combine temple filler with cheek, under-eye, nasolabial fold, chin, and lip filler in a single 60-90 minute session. The Youthful Forehead Package can be combined with other area-specific packages for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Yes. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) provides strong structural support and stimulates collagen production. It lasts 12-18 months and creates a scaffolding effect that improves over time. It is particularly effective for moderate-to-severe temple hollowing.
With cannula technique, bruising is rare — less than 10% of patients at RE:BERRY experience any bruising. When it occurs, it is minimal and resolves within 3-5 days. Needle technique (not used at RE:BERRY for temples) has a much higher bruising rate.
Yes. Complimentary airport pickup from ICN Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for all patients. Share flight details when booking through the English-speaking clinic coordinator.
Yes. Temple hollowing is common in men and often more pronounced due to lower body fat. RE:BERRY doctors treat male temples frequently, adjusting the volume to maintain masculine facial proportions rather than creating overly rounded contours.
Avoid blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo) for 1 week, alcohol for 48 hours, and aspirin/NSAIDs for 24 hours before treatment. These reduce bruising risk. If you take prescription blood thinners, consult your doctor first.
Korean doctors perform more filler procedures per capita than any other country, resulting in superior technique refinement. Korean cannula-first approach for temple injection is now considered the global safety standard. Korean-manufactured fillers (LENA) also offer premium quality at competitive prices.
Volume improvement is visible immediately after injection. Minor swelling resolves by day 3-5. The final, settled result is visible at 2 weeks. RE:BERRY offers a 2-week follow-up assessment with optional touch-up if asymmetry is detected.
