How to Fix Hollow Temples in Seoul: Non-Surgical Options
Hollow temples make the upper face look narrow and the brow tail heavy. Our physicians restore the temple gradually with collagen-stimulating injectables or filler, aiming for a smooth curve from forehead to cheek rather than visible volume.

What causes hollow temples?
Hollow temples are caused by loss of fat and bone in the temple area with age, low body fat, weight loss or strong chewing muscles. They can be restored with collagen-stimulating injectables such as Juvelook Volume or Sculptra, or with hyaluronic acid filler for an immediate result.
The temple sits between the outer brow and the hairline. It is supported by a thin fat layer and the temporal bone. With age both shrink, and the area becomes concave, which makes the upper face look narrower and can drag the brow tail down. Athletes, people with very low body fat and those who lose weight quickly often notice it earlier.
Because the temple contains important blood vessels, it is injected using careful technique and depth. Collagen-stimulating products build volume slowly over several weeks, which many patients prefer because friends notice a rested look rather than a change; hyaluronic acid filler shows the result straight away.
Signs these treatments can help
- A visible dip between the outer brow and hairline
- The upper face looks narrow compared with the cheeks
- The outer brow looks lower or heavier
- Hollowing after weight loss or intense exercise
When to see a specialist first
- Rapid, unexplained weight or muscle loss: see your doctor to check the cause
- New temple pain, tenderness or headaches with jaw pain: seek medical advice first
- Pregnancy, active infection or an autoimmune flare
Four reasons temples become hollow
Fat loss with age
The temple fat pad thins and the area becomes concave.
Bone remodelling
The temple and brow bones lose some volume over time.
Low body fat
Athletes and very slim people show hollowing early.
Weight loss
Rapid weight loss often shows first in the temples and cheeks.
