Hollow temples are one of the earliest signs of facial aging — and one of the fastest to reverse with Sculptra. Rebuilding volume at the temple softens the brow arch, widens the eye frame, and makes the whole upper face read as younger.
Individual before/after photos are shared during a private consultation with signed patient consent. Below is a clinical walk-through of what each patient experienced.
Concave temple hollow deep enough to cast a shadow. Brow tail pulled downward. Forehead read as unusually wide in photos.
Convex-to-flat temple at month 3. Brow tail lifted to a more youthful angle. Upper face reads 5+ years younger without touching the forehead.
Mild temple flattening making the eye frame look tight and the brow feel heavy despite regular Botox.
Temple filled to a soft curve by month 3. Eye area feels more open. Botox continues to work — Sculptra addressed the volume problem Botox cannot.
Two vials — one per side — is the typical dose for temple hollowing. Very deep hollows may need a second session six weeks later.
First softening at week 4-6, visible restoration at month 2-3, peak at month 6.
Yes — in the hands of an experienced injector who knows the temporal anatomy. Sculptra is placed in a specific plane, away from the temporal artery.
About 2 years. One maintenance vial per year keeps the collagen framework refreshed.
