Temple filler · Doctor-led · Chiswick, London W4

A tired upper face often starts here

Temple filler restores selected volume at hollow temples, for a smoother, more balanced line between the forehead, brow and cheekbone.

The temple is the soft hollow between the outer brow, hairline and upper cheekbone. Every plan is assessed and treated personally by Dr Kay.

See the treatment area clearly

A small area that changes upper-face balance

The markers sit on the temples — the soft hollows at the sides of the forehead, above the cheekbone and beside the outer brow.

What temple filler is designed to do

Restore support without making the face look “filled”

Temple hollowing interrupts the line from the forehead to the cheekbone and can make the upper face read as tired. The aim is not maximum volume — it is a measured change that respects the brow, the cheek and your own proportions.

Direct answer: temple filler replaces selected lost volume at the side of the forehead to create a smoother, better-supported upper-face contour.
1

Soften visible hollowing

Replace only the support needed in the concave temple area — no more than that.

2

Reconnect the contour

Create a gentler transition from the forehead and brow towards the cheekbone.

3

Keep your expression

Plan conservatively so the upper face stays recognisably yours.

Clear temple filler pricing

Know the cost and the time before you decide

Dr Kay recommends an amount only after assessing your anatomy, any existing filler and your treatment goals.

Treatment time 30 minutes

The appointment itself, including preparation and aftercare advice.

Consultation time 30 minutes

In person with Dr Kay, covering suitability, the plan and realistic outcomes.

No fixed package is prescribed in advance. After assessment the recommendation may be less treatment, a different approach, or no filler at all.

A distinguishing clinical capability

Ultrasound available when it adds clinical value

Temple anatomy varies considerably from person to person. Dr Kay can use diagnostic ultrasound where clinically indicated to help map anatomy, review previous filler and support treatment planning.

  • Your individual anatomy: planning starts with your face, not a standard injection pattern.
  • Previous filler: a scan can clarify the picture when product is already present.
  • Doctor-led decisions: the scan supports clinical judgement, it does not replace it.

Why doctor-led care matters

Your face is assessed and treated by Dr Kay

Dr Kay is a GMC-registered doctor and the Founder and Clinical Director of Dr Kay Clinic. Temple treatment is considered alongside the brow, the cheek and the whole upper-face profile — never as an isolated hollow.

One clinician: assessment, planning and treatment are personally doctor-led.
Conservative decisions: the recommendation may be to wait, to use less, or not to proceed.
Clear expectations: suitability and realistic outcomes are discussed before anything is agreed.

Your appointment

A considered plan in three clear steps

You do not need to decide on an amount of filler before you arrive. Dr Kay assesses the cause of the hollowing first, then explains the options.

1

Assess

A 30-minute in-person consultation covering your facial proportions, medical history, skin and any previous filler.

2

Plan

Dr Kay explains suitability, the amount proposed, the full cost and whether ultrasound would add value.

3

Treat & review

If treatment is appropriate and you choose to proceed, consent, the 30-minute treatment and aftercare are all doctor-led.

Temple filler
FAQs

The questions people most often ask before arranging a temple assessment.

What is temple filler?

Temple filler is a non-surgical treatment that places dermal filler into the hollow at the side of the forehead to restore lost volume. The temple sits between the outer brow, the hairline and the upper cheekbone. As this area loses fat and bone support with age, the face can look narrow or drawn at the sides.

What does temple filler improve?

It softens visible temple hollowing and smooths the transition between the forehead, outer brow and cheekbone. It does not address every upper-face concern, so the brow, cheek and overall proportions are assessed together before any recommendation is made.

How much does temple filler cost in London?

Temple filler at Dr Kay Clinic is £350 and includes up to 1 ml of dermal filler. The price is confirmed at your consultation, and no package is prescribed before your anatomy has been assessed in person.

How long does a temple filler appointment take?

The consultation takes 30 minutes and the treatment itself takes 30 minutes. Consultation and treatment can often be arranged on the same visit if you are suitable and happy to proceed, but there is never any pressure to decide on the day.

How long do temple filler results last?

Longevity varies with the product selected, the amount used, your anatomy and your metabolism. Dr Kay gives you a realistic expectation after examining the area. Maintenance is optional rather than automatic, and is reviewed each time.

Does temple filler hurt, and is there downtime?

Most people describe brief pressure rather than pain, and most return to normal activities the same day. Temporary tenderness, swelling or bruising can occur. You receive personalised aftercare and a direct clinic contact route before you leave.

Will temple filler look obvious?

The plan is built around subtle volume restoration and facial balance, not maximum fullness. The amount needed differs between people, and the aim is that the upper face simply looks better supported rather than treated.

Is temple filler safe, and can it be reversed?

The temple contains layered anatomy including important vessels, which is why it should be treated by an experienced medical professional after a full assessment. All treatments carry risks, which Dr Kay discusses with you before consent. Hyaluronic acid fillers can usually be dissolved if clinically appropriate.

Who is not suitable for temple filler?

Treatment is for adults aged 18 and over, and is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or where there is active infection in the area. Certain medical conditions, medications and previous filler may also change the plan. Suitability is always confirmed in person.

Why is an in-person assessment important?

Temple anatomy differs significantly between people, so it cannot be assessed from a photograph. Examination helps Dr Kay decide whether filler is appropriate at all, how much may be useful, and whether ultrasound should support the plan.
