What are some possible causes of sunken or hollow temples?

Causes of sunken temples.

   • A reduction in the fat layer.
   • Muscle atrophy
   • Changes in bone structure
2. heredity
   • Facial structure inherited from ancestors.
   • Characteristics of ethnicity
3. Behavior and lifestyle.
   • Insufficient sleep
   • Pressure
   • Malnutrition

The differences between Thai people and other nationalities.

1. Facial structure
   • Thai and Asian people generally have smaller facial features than Westerners.
   • They tend to have naturally high cheekbones.
2. Anatomical differences
   • A thinner layer of fat in the temple area.
   • The distribution of facial fat differs from that of Westerners.
3. Cultural and lifestyle factors
   • Different food choices.
   • Hot and humid climates may affect fat loss.
   • Beliefs about physiognomy that influence the importance given to the shape of the temples.

Correcting sunken temples primarily involves filling them in, and filler injections are a top choice recommended by doctors. Maintaining good health, getting enough rest, and eating a healthy diet are ways to slow down skin aging, but they are not methods to completely fill in the temples or restore the skin's youthful firmness.

The temples aren't sunken, but it's because the cheekbones are high.

As a cosmetic doctor with over 10 years of experience, I encounter cases like this very often. Approximately 20% of patients who consult about sunken temples don't actually have a problem with sunken temples, but rather it's due to a facial structure with high cheekbones, a characteristic feature of Asians, especially Thai and Chinese people.

When cheekbones are high, it creates the illusion that the temples are sunken, like deep furrows, even though the amount of fat and tissue in the temple area is actually normal. Doctors often advise patients to take side photos and look in the mirror from different angles. This will show that the protruding cheekbones are casting shadows and giving the impression that the temples are sunken.

In cases like this, the correction may need to consider the overall facial structure, not just filling in the temples. Sometimes, it may also be necessary to balance the cheekbones to create a more harmonious and natural-looking face.

For beautiful temple injections, the filler must complement the forehead.

Have you ever noticed that a beautiful face has harmony in the upper part, especially the forehead, temples, and cheekbones, which act like a frame surrounding our eyes? It's all about... Anatomy and balance Only experienced and attentive doctors understand these things, because filler injections are not just about filling in or making deep wrinkles shallower.

1. Structural relationships
   • The forehead and temples are continuous areas.
   • The depth plane should be continuous.
   • The curves should look natural.
2. Appropriate proportions
   We call this the Temple-Forehead Continuity.
   • The forehead should be slightly rounded.
   • The temples should not be too deeply recessed.
   • The line between the temples and forehead should be harmonious.

The appropriate amount of filler for the temples.

Injecting filler into the temples is both an art and a science that requires the expertise of a physician to assess and select the appropriate amount. The amount of filler used varies from person to person, depending on several factors such as the severity of sunken temples, age, gender, facial structure, and the patient's needs.

It's important to understand that filler injections should be done gradually to achieve natural and safe results.

Severity level	Amount of filler per side	Characteristics observed	advice	Approximate price (Baht)
A little bit (Grade 1)	0.5-1cc	– The temples began to shrink slightly. – Clearly visible at a 45-degree angle.	– It may be administered in 1-2 doses. – Suitable for protection.	15,000-20,000
Average (Grade 2)	1-2cc	– The temples are clearly defined. - The face shape has a concave shape both from the front and the side.	– It should be administered in two doses. – 2-4 weeks apart	15,000-35,000
Severe (Grade 3)	2-3cc	– Deeply sunken temples, clearly visible from every angle. – Blood vessels are visible. – Looks older than their actual age.	– It is recommended to divide the injection into 2-3 doses. – It may require treatment in combination with other methods.	30,000-45,000

1. The quantities given are only averages and may be adjusted up or down as appropriate for each individual.
2. Prices may vary depending on the filler brand and the clinic.
3. You should choose fillers that are FDA-approved and have them injected only by experienced, qualified physicians.
4. The results last approximately 8-24 months, depending on the type of filler and the individual's metabolism.

Is it abnormal if my temples are uneven?

Facial asymmetry is very common, especially in the temple area, where unevenness is found in 70-80% of those who consult about temple problems. It's similar to the saying, "Eyebrows don't belong together," and the same applies to the temples. This asymmetry can be caused by several factors, such as...

• Genetic predisposition and congenital bone asymmetrical structure.
• The habit of sleeping on one side regularly.
• Habitually chewing on only one side leads to uneven muscle development.
• Uneven loss of subcutaneous fat with age.

Temporalis Muscle

• It is a fan-shaped muscle, wide and flat, located on the sides of the head.
• Main function: Assists in chewing and jaw movement.
• When this muscle atrophies or develops unevenly, it can cause unevenly sunken temples.

The good news is that we can now correct this asymmetry with filler injections. The doctor will assess the differences between the two sides and plan a customized injection schedule for each individual. Some may need a larger amount of filler on the thinner side, while others may need different amounts of filler on both sides to achieve the most beautiful and natural balance.

However, achieving 100% perfection may not always be the best goal. A slight asymmetry in the face can look more natural and appealing. Therefore, facial contouring focuses on creating harmony and balance that suits each individual's face.

Which is better: filler injections or fat grafting to the temples?

In Thailand, to correct sunken temples and restore a fuller, more youthful appearance, filling techniques are the most popular choice for both doctors and patients. Two main methods commonly chosen are filler injections and autologous fat grafting. Both methods have different advantages and limitations, and the choice depends on various factors including skin condition, age, lifestyle, and individual needs.

Comparison topics	Filler injection	Autologous fat injection
Refills	Synthetic fillers (HA)	Fat from one's own body
Duration of treatment	15-30 minutes	1-2 hours (including liposuction)
Preparation	– Discontinue taking anticoagulant medication. – No alcohol for 24 hours.	– There must be enough fat to be absorbed. – No food for 6-8 hours. – A blood test is required before the procedure.
Feelings while doing it	Very little; no injection or topical anesthetic is needed.	Moderate to severe because liposuction was also performed.
Recovery	– You can go home immediately. – There may be some needle marks and swelling.	– Recover in 1-2 days. – Swelling and bruising at the liposuction site may last 1-3 weeks. Bandages may be needed throughout this time.
Persistence	8-24 months	Permanent (50-70% of the fat is adhered)
result	– Immediate results. – Easily customizable.	- Noticeable results are seen after swelling subsides and fat is reduced within 2-6 months. – More natural
Placed above the muscle, this method reduces postoperative pain but increases the likelihood of silicone detection and potential adhesions. There is also a higher risk of the breasts having a block-like appearance and sagging post-surgery.	– No surgery required. – Precise quantity control. – You can edit it if you're not satisfied.	– Permanent results – No losses. – It produces a gentler result.
Limitations	– Must be repeated. – In the long run, the price will appear higher.	– There must be enough fat; it cannot be extracted from other people. – It is difficult to predict the outcome. – When weight is lost, obesity and fat also decrease.
Price (approximate)	15,000-45,000 baht per session	50,000-100,000 baht
suitable for	– For those who want to see results quickly. – People who are afraid of surgery. – Those who want to try the results first.	– Those who want long-term results. – People with excess body fat. – People who appreciate nature.
Caution	- Blood vessel blockage – The formation of lumps. – Infection	– Inflammation – Irregularity – Excessive deformation makes it appear as if there is no filling.
Post-treatment care	– Avoid massaging the injection site for 2 weeks. – Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.	– Wear a compression garment over the liposuction area for 1 month. – Avoid strenuous exercise for 2-4 weeks.

Which brand of filler should I choose?

Choosing the right filler for the temples is unique because the temples require fillers with specific properties: high elasticity and appropriate viscosity. This ensures they maintain their shape well even with frequent muscle movement in the temple area. Furthermore, the filler must have the appropriate concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA) to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Beliefs about the temples and facial features (physiognomy).

The belief in the relationship between temples and physiognomy has been passed down through generations in Chinese and East Asian culture. The characteristics of the temples are interpreted in various ways, as follows:

What are the advantages of having prominent (full) temples?

• They are believed to be intelligent and farsighted people.
• They are often successful in their careers.
• They have planning skills.

What's wrong with having sunken temples?

• It is believed that there may be obstacles during the ages of 31-35.
• You might need to be cautious with your finances.
• One should be cautious in making decisions.

What are the downsides of having uneven temples?

• I believe life may be uncertain.
• Life may change frequently.
• We have to adapt to different situations.

Scientific conclusion: The characteristics of the temporal arches result from physical factors that can be explained by medical and anatomical principles. Changes in the temporal arches can occur naturally and can be modified with evidence-based medical methods.

Science can systematically explain the physical characteristics and changes of the temples. Beliefs in physiognomy are also part of a cultural heritage passed down through generations. The choice to believe or not believe is a personal right, and one should not hastily judge whether it is right or wrong. Ultimately, health and beauty care should be based on scientifically proven medical principles.
