Wrinkles on earlobes slowly develop as we age and our earlobes deflate, just like the rest of your face! In the medical literature an earlobe crease has been correlated with some cardiovascular diseases. The simplest way to treat earlobe wrinkles is to place a small amount of filler in the earlobe. The wrinkles immediately improve. Filler in the earlobes tend to last significantly longer than in most other parts of the face. If it helps make you feel better, probably no one else is noticing your wrinkled earlobes!

Temples are actually one of the best places to put filler since it seems to last an extra long time in this part of the face. There are several filler options in the temples. These include Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. I have seen filler last well over 2 years in this part of the face, but I advise patients that they might have to come about once a year for a slight top off. As for how much filler you might need, well, that depends on how hollow you are. On average patients tend to need at least half a syringe of filler to an entire syringe of filler PER temple. Sometimes more if there is significant hollowing. Usually I can estimate before hand about how much filler it will take.

Fat injections are another way to fill in hollow temples, but this is probably best for patients who need a significant amount of filling of their entire face.
