Sunken temples and prominent cheekbones are usually caused by age factor and malnutrition.
1. Age factor: as the patient grows older, the subcutaneous tissues of the temples will gradually shrink, making the subcutaneous fat layer thinner, so there will be sunken temples, and if the temples are too sunken, the zygomatic bones will be protruding correspondingly.
2. Malnutrition: If the patient is picky about food in daily life, it may lead to calcium deficiency, malnutrition and other symptoms, which will make the patient’s body lose weight, so that the subcutaneous adipose tissue of the temples will be reduced, and the phenomenon of sunken temples and prominent zygomatic bones will occur.
There are many other causes of sunken temples and prominent cheekbones, so it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the physician.
