Hello.
I am Director Hwang Jeong-hwang of Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.
Have you ever tied your hair back, stood in front of a mirror, and paused for a moment?
There are days when the side of your forehead, usually covered by bangs, is revealed, and the upper facial line looks different from what you are used to.
The temple area is often hidden by hair, so it is a spot where changes go unnoticed for a long time.
Many people inquire after seeing deep shadows on their side forehead in photos with their hair tied back or in three-quarter angle shots.
Today, I will explain what temple filler is, why the layered structure of this area and the shadows created by light are addressed together, and what you should know in advance, including precautions.
What is temple filler?
👉 Temple filler is a procedure that fills the sunken surface of the temporal region—located between the outer corner of the eye, the side forehead, and the hairline—with HA filler to refine the upper facial contour.
The temporal region is one of the areas on the face with the most distinct layers.
There is thin subcutaneous fat under the skin, followed by the temporal fascia that wraps around the temporalis muscle, and separate fat layers located between the fascia layers and under the muscle.
The temporalis muscle is attached to the bone at the deepest level.
Because it is a structure with multiple thin layers stacked together, the appearance on the surface changes depending on which layer has lost volume.
It is not just volume that changes when this area becomes sunken.
When the surface is indented, light coming from above cannot reach it, creating shadows, and the shadowed area looks even more sunken than it actually is.
If the curve from the outer corner of the eye to the hairline is broken, the upper facial border looks narrow, and the cheekbones may appear relatively prominent, making the face look angular or aged.
HA filler is used in this area because it can settle between the thin layers and push the surface up evenly.
In a multi-layered structure, the smoothness of the surface depends on which layer you place the filler in and how much you distribute, rather than injecting it all into one point.
Strengths of temple filler
👉 The greatest strength of temple filler lies in the ability to select the injection layer within the multi-layered temporal region to address both surface smoothness and contouring.
First, the results vary depending on the layer.
The deep layer near the bone under the temporalis muscle is firmly enclosed, so the injected amount spreads widely and acts to lift the entire surface evenly.
Conversely, the shallow layer just below the skin has thin tissue, so even a small amount can easily show as irregularities on the surface.
Therefore, we approach it by addressing the large-scale depression in the deep layer and refining only the remaining minor unevenness in the shallow layer.
Second, because we are dealing with a surface that catches light, small changes have a significant impact on your impression.
This area is one of the widest flat surfaces on the face; when the surface is restored, light spreads evenly, and the boundaries of shadows soften.
This is why the side forehead looks less sunken under indoor lighting or in three-quarter angle photos.
Third, we can plan a path that avoids surrounding structures.
The superficial temporal artery and the temporal branch of the facial nerve pass through the temporal region, and their paths differ by layer.
By pre-determining which layer to enter and where to place the filler, we can avoid the layers where major structures pass, and we also utilize a method of moving along the layers with a blunt-tipped cannula.
Working principle of temple filler
👉 Temple filler works by adding volume to the reduced layers to narrow the drop in the surface, allowing light to reach that area again.
When the fat layer and muscle volume in the temporal region decrease, the surface sinks inward.
The sunken surface does not receive light from above, creating shadows, and the side forehead looks more hollow as a result.
The support for the outer end of the eyebrow also weakens, giving the impression that the upper facial line is pressed downward.
Injected HA has the property of retaining surrounding tissue fluid to maintain volume, which pushes up the tissue above the layer where it is placed.
When placed in the deep layer, the entire surface rises at once, restoring the plane; when a small amount is placed in the shallow layer, the remaining minor unevenness is filled.
Once the surface becomes flat, light continues without breaking at the sunken spot, blurring the shadow boundaries, and the curve from the outer corner of the eye to the hairline is restored.
HA is a substance that is slowly broken down by enzymes in the body.
Therefore, we can monitor the condition and replenish it periodically to refine the surface as needed, and it is also possible to distribute the filler in stages rather than injecting a large amount at once.
Who is temple filler for?
Those who are concerned about their side forehead looking sunken when tying or sweeping their hair back. Those who notice deep shadows in the temple area in three-quarter angle photos. Those who feel their upper face is narrow and their cheekbones look prominent and angular. Those who feel their impression looks tired because the outer ends of their eyebrows have sagged. Those who want to naturally refine the upper facial curve rather than seeking a major change.Types of fillers
👉 At Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch, we offer different filler lines depending on the area and purpose.
The appropriate composition depends on the depth of the depression, the position of the hairline, and the shape of the forehead curve.
If you have thin skin, we discuss the concurrent use of options like Juvelook, Rejuran series, or Sculptra, and if there is sagging of the contour, we also discuss the concurrent use of Ultherapy Prime.
Side effects and things to know in advance
👉 Most reactions to temple filler are temporary and are reported to subside over time.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have inflammation or skin diseases in the area to be injected, or have had other substances injected into the same area, we will check your condition during the consultation stage.
⚠️ Precautions before and after temple filler
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Which layer is the temple filler injected into?
A. It is common to address the drop of the entire surface in the deep layer near the bone and refine only the remaining minor unevenness in the shallow layer; the layer distribution is determined based on skin thickness and the degree of depression.
Q. Won't my face look bigger if I get temple filler?
A. Many people say that as long as you replenish only enough to narrow the drop of the sunken surface, it looks more like the upper curve is connected rather than looking wider, and we recommend not injecting too much at once.
Q. Is temple filler necessary even if it is covered by hair?
A. It is an area that is revealed when you tie or sweep your hair back and appears as shadows in three-quarter angle photos, so it affects your impression even if it is covered.
Q. Can I get temple filler and forehead filler on the same day?
A. The front and side of the forehead are connected, so they are often treated together, but how the distribution is divided depends on the state of the forehead curve.
Q. Can I wash my hair after getting temple filler?
A. On the day of the procedure, we recommend washing lightly while minimizing stimulation, as rubbing the injection site hard can be burdensome.
Q. How much pain is involved with temple filler?
A. Many people describe it as a pressing sensation, and the temple area is sensitive, so please let us know during the consultation if you are sensitive to pain.
The temple is an area you might not usually pay attention to, but it is a part that shapes the upper face and determines the direction of light.
Temple filler has the strength of refining the contour by finding the reduced layers in the multi-layered temporal region, distributing volume, and allowing light to reach the sunken surface again.
Since the injection layer and distribution vary depending on the depth of the depression, the position of the hairline, and the shape of the forehead, it must be tailored to your face.
We will check these details directly during your consultation.
At Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch, we offer treatments to care for your upper facial impression, including our full line of fillers, as well as Juvelook, Rejuran series skin boosters, and Ultherapy Prime.

⚠️ 강남 관자필러 시술 전후 주의사항
❓ 자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)
Q. 강남 관자필러는 어느 층에 넣나요?
A. 면 전체의 낙차는 뼈에 가까운 깊은 층에서
다루고 남은 미세한 단차만 얕은 층에서 다듬는
방식이 일반적이며, 층 배분은 피부 두께와 꺼진 정도를 보고 잡습니다.
Q. 강남 관자필러를 넣으면 얼굴이 커 보이지 않나요?
A. 파인 면의 낙차를 좁히는 만큼만 보충하면 넓어
보이기보다 위쪽 곡선이 이어져 보이는 쪽으로 달라진다는
말씀을 많이 하시며, 한 번에 많이 넣지 않는 방향을 권해 드립니다.
Q. 강남 관자필러는 머리카락에 가려지는데도 필요한가요?
A. 묶거나 넘겼을 때 드러나는 자리이고 사분의 삼 각도에서
음영으로 나타나기 때문에, 가려져 있어도 인상에 반영되는 편입니다.
Q. 강남 관자필러와 이마필러를 같은 날 해도 되나요?
A. 이마 앞면과 옆면은 이어지는 면이라 함께 보는 경우가 많으나,
배분을 어떻게 나눌지는 이마 곡선 상태에 따라 달라집니다.
Q. 강남 관자필러 맞은 뒤 머리를 감아도 되나요?
A. 당일에는 주입 자리를 세게 문지르는 동작이 부담이 될 수 있어
자극을 줄여 가볍게 씻는 정도를 권해 드립니다.
Q. 강남 관자필러는 통증이 어느 정도인가요?
A. 눌리는 느낌으로 표현하시는 분이 많고, 관자는 감각이 예민한
편이라 통증에 민감하시다면 진료 때 미리 말씀해 주세요.
관자는 평소 신경 쓰지 않던 자리지만
얼굴 위쪽 면을 만들고 빛의 방향을 좌우하는 부위입니다.
강남 관자필러는 겹겹이 나뉜 측두부에서 줄어든 층을 찾아
부피를 나누어 두고, 파인 면에 빛이 다시 닿게 해 윤곽을 고르는 데 강점이 있습니다.
꺼진 깊이, 헤어라인 위치, 이마 앞면의 모양에 따라
주입 층과 배분이 달라지므로 얼굴에 맞춰 잡아야 합니다.
이런 부분은 상담 시 직접 확인해 드립니다.
클레오르의원 강남점에서는 필러 전라인과 함께 쥬베룩,
리쥬란 계열 스킨부스터, 울쎄라피 프라임 등 얼굴 위쪽 인상을
함께 살필 수 있는 케어를 운영하고 있습니다.
궁금한 점이 있으시면 편하게 문의 주세요.
