Sunken Temples
What is Sunken Temples?
"Sunken Temples" refer to a hollow or concave appearance in the temple area, located on the sides of the forehead between the eyes and ears. This can give the face a gaunt or aged look. The sunken appearance may happen gradually, especially as people age, or due to factors below.
Symtoms of Sunken Temples:
-
Hollow or concave appearance on the sides of the forehead
-
Visible indentation in the temple area
-
Thinner, gaunt facial appearance, which can make the face look older or tired
-
Change in facial balance, as sunken temples can make the face look less full or 'skeleton look'
What are the causes of Sunken Temples?
-
Aging: As we age, we naturally lose collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat in the face, leading to volume loss in areas like the temples.
-
Genetics: Some individuals may naturally have a more hollow or concave temple area.
-
Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can reduce fat around the temples, making them appear more sunken.
-
Bone Loss: Age-related bone loss in the skull can also contribute to the appearance of hollow temples.
