As we age, we lose collagen and volume in our skin, muscles, fat, and bone. This leads to a Hollowing of the temples. Even a slight sinking in the temples gives your face a more skeletal, aged, and unhealthy look. Margins between the temple and surrounding Forehead, cheeks and eyes become sharp and harsh. In addition, the loss of volume in your temples can create a shadowed appearance over your cheekbones and eyes and can cause the eyebrows to fold backward and appear short and low.
Although Temple Hollowing occurs with age, it can also occur if you are very athletic or with weight loss. The hollowing process often begins in your 20s or 30s and is a slow, gradual loss of volume, that is often unnoticed by the patient. Only after having the temples treated, do patients realize the antiaging benefits. The clinicians at Face To Face Medical are trained in assessing and treating the subtleties of facial ageing.
