Temple Hollows

Why Do Temple Hollows Form?

Temple hollows are concave hollows on either side of your head where your temples lie, situated at eye level. They give your head a bean-like shape appearance whenever they are prominent or heavily sunken.

Temple hollows develop with loss of volume and structure from the sides of your face, which results from the natural ageing process. Your bony foundation shrinks, as do your deep and superficial fat pads, leading to the development of hollows that make you appear more skeletal looking. Skin thinning and laxity also contribute to an aged look. Mature skin is lacking in collagen and elastin content, and tends to collapse into your temple hollows, rather than providing an elastic outer envelope, like a trampoline mat.

How Can Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic Help With Your Temple Hollow Concerns?

At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we offer consultations on how to treat your temple hollows.

Temple treatments are complex and require an understanding of intricate, complicated anatomy and advanced level skillset to perform with optimal safety and effect.

At the Dr. Jodie clinic your treatment plan will be multi-faceted and include medical treatments, skin care, skin peels, LED therapy, mono threads, Laser Genesis, and the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling.

Please note that any treatment that includes the use of schedule 4 medications cannot legally be advertised online, as directed by our governing body the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), so it is not a feature of our discussion here.

To understand your options, your first step is consultation with your Dr. Jodie clinician.

What Should You Expect During Your Dr. Jodie Consultation For Temple Hollow Concerns?

Your Dr. Jodie clinician will carefully assess your temples in conjunction with the rest of your face and offer guidance on your most appropriate course of action. Your treatment plan will be personalised to suit your unique aesthetic requirements, taking into account your budget and lifestyle. Your Dr. Jodie clinician will outline your tailored treatment plan in detail including the steps involved in your treatment process, your risks and benefits, your anticipated recovery time, and your costs. At the Dr. Jodie clinic, you will always receive clear informed medical and financial consent, as we believe cosmetic treatments should not be undertaken lightly. She will answer all your questions and begin to document your journey with standardised clinical photography.

Tailored Approach To Temple Hollows At Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic

If your temple area has started to hollow, it can make you appear older than you really are. Hollowing of temples occurs at different rates for different individuals and can be affected by weight loss, genetics, and ageing. At the Dr. Jodie clinic, tailored temple treatments aim to create a softer and more youthful appearance by modifying your overall face shape. Your Dr. Jodie clinician will always carefully assess your face and formulate your plan based on your unique needs. The good news is that she does not follow trends, preferring to provide a subtle yet significant result that suits your individual face. This bespoke approach ensures you will never have to settle for a ‘one size fits all’ treatment.

Refreshed Focus For Temple Hollows In Melbourne’s Dr. Jodie Clinic

Interestingly, sunken and hollow temples are not an issue that most clients think to address. It typically requires the aesthetic eye and know-how of an experienced clinician to point out the benefits of restoring temple volume loss. Temple treatments can positively impact your overall face shape and proportions to create a more rested, less drawn look. Without addressing temple hollows, your face shape will become more bean-like and skeletal over time. Temple restoration can also reposition your outer brow so that it does not 'drop off' or disappear down the side of your face when observing your face front on. And we all know that good brows are key to good facial aesthetics! By taking a ‘whole face’ approach to your assessment and all that follows, your Dr. Jodie clinician will conservatively help restore the correct contours to your temple area and balance to your face leaving a refreshed, natural look.

At the Dr Jodie clinic, you trusted clinician will always follow peer recommended guidelines and best evidence for risk averse treatments, which is important as temple treatments can be dangerous, carrying an extremely rare risk of blindness and even stroke. In more recent years, we invested in a high level ultrasound machine to map out your vessels prior to treatment to enhance your safety and minimise risk. When it comes to your temples, always ensure that your chosen clinician is known for their advanced level skillset, as it has never been more important!
