Do your temples sink in as you age? Understanding the causes of temporal wasting
By age 55, some people may have lost up to 40% of the facial fat that once gave them a plump, youthful appearance. This volume loss often causes the temples to sink in as you age, leading to a gaunt or hollowed-out look that can make you appear tired, older, or unhealthy. This process, known as temporal wasting or temporal atrophy, occurs due to the natural reduction of fat, muscle, and bone in the area over time.
