Have you noticed that the temples on your face are sunken, making your face look haggard and lifeless? In this article, HBIO Clinic will find out why your temples are sunken, helping you recognize them early and find appropriate ways to improve them.

Why are your temples sunken?

The temples are a small area but play an important role on the face, located at the end of the eyebrows and extending close to the hairline. This area mainly consists of fatty tissue and over time, the amount of natural fat decreases, making the temples more sunken.
The phenomenon of sunken temples does not directly harm health, but significantly affects the aesthetics and youthfulness of the face. When the temples are sunken, the cheekbones will be visible, making the overall face look older than its actual age.

So what causes sunken temples? The causes of sunken temples come from many factors, including genetics and living environment. Some common reasons include:
  • Genetics: If parents have asymmetrical or sunken temples, their children are also at risk of experiencing the same condition.
  • Difficulty gaining weight: People with a difficult weight gaining constitution often lack fat in the temporal area, leading to deep sunken areas.
  • Facial bone structure: People with high cheekbones, angular faces or deep eyes are more likely to have sunken temples.
  • Aging: The aging process reduces the elasticity of the skin and subcutaneous fat, causing the temples to appear sunken.
  • Unreasonable lifestyle and diet: Unscientific eating and living habits can accelerate the aging process, affecting the structure of the temporal area.
  • Jaw changes due to braces: Braces and dietary changes can affect bone structure, thereby changing the shape of the temporal region.

Silicone augmentation is another solution chosen by many customers to improve sunken temples. This method is less painful, the implementation time is fast and the risk of complications is lower than that of autologous fat grafting.
However, the limitation is that the natural effect is not as good as the method of using autologous fat. If performed at a reputable facility, the aesthetic results are still high, helping the face to be fuller and more balanced.
