Dr. Young

Restore Softness and Balance to the Upper Face

Temple hollowing is one of the more subtle yet impactful signs of aging. As volume is lost in this area, the face can begin to appear more angular, and the upper face may feel less supported—often contributing to a tired or more severe appearance.

Temple implants in Bellevue offer a refined way to restore this lost volume. By reintroducing structure in the temples, the overall shape of the face becomes softer, more balanced, and more youthful—without altering your natural features.

Temple Implants Overview

What Are Temple Implants?

Temple implants are designed to restore volume in the hollowed areas at the sides of the forehead, just behind the outer brow. These implants are carefully placed beneath the tissue to create a smooth, natural contour that blends seamlessly with the surrounding facial structure.

Rather than simply filling space, the goal is to re-establish proportion across the upper face. Thoughtful temple augmentation can subtly elevate the lateral brow area, improve the transition between the forehead and cheeks, and contribute to a more harmonious overall facial shape.

The Benefits of Temple Implants

Restored Upper Facial Volume: Temple implants correct hollowing to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
Improved Facial Balance: Adding volume to the temples enhances proportion between the upper, mid, and lower face.
Subtle Brow Support: Restoring structure in this area can create a gentle lift effect in the outer brow and eye region.
Natural-Looking Enhancement: Results are designed to blend seamlessly, avoiding an overfilled or artificial appearance.
Long-Lasting Results: Implants provide stable, durable volume compared to temporary solutions.

Am I a Candidate for Temple Implants?

Temple implants are ideal for patients who notice hollowing in the temples, a more angular or squared facial shape, or a loss of softness in the upper face over time. These changes may occur with aging or be naturally present based on facial structure. Candidates are typically in good health and are looking for subtle structural enhancement rather than dramatic change. Patients who value balance and long-term refinement—especially in combination with other facial procedures—often benefit most from this approach.

The Temple Implant Process What to Expect

Private Consultation

We evaluate your facial structure, volume distribution, and overall proportions to determine whether temple augmentation is appropriate.

Personalized Surgical Plan

Implant size, shape, and placement are carefully selected to create a balanced, natural contour.

Procedure Day

The procedure is typically performed under sedation or general anesthesia, with implants placed through discreet incisions hidden within the hairline.

Initial Healing Phase

Mild swelling and tightness are expected initially as the tissues adjust to the new structure.

Results and Recovery

Swelling is most noticeable in the first several days and gradually improves over the first one to two weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal routines within about a week, depending on the extent of the procedure. As healing progresses, the temples appear fuller and smoother, softening the overall facial shape.

The added volume creates a more balanced transition between the forehead, eyes, and cheeks, often giving the face a more youthful, rested appearance. Final results continue to refine over several weeks as swelling fully resolves. Because implants provide structural support, the outcome is stable and long-lasting, maintaining its shape over time.
