Why are the temples sunken?

People often say that their temples are throbbing and they feel dizzy when they are tired. This shows that the temples are the parts of our body that are often hurt. The temples are located at the corners of our eyes, on both sides of the forehead. Pressing the temples when you have time can relieve fatigue. A full temple is a necessary condition for a beautiful face, but some people have sunken temples. Why are their temples sunken?

Now, please stand in front of the mirror and observe your face shape carefully. If your cheekbones look high and your "forehead" is not full enough, this is a sunken temple, and you will need the help of temple filling surgery. Many people may not realize that sunken temples seriously affect our appearance, but why do sunken temples appear? What should we do if our temples are sunken?

There are three reasons for sunken temples. Firstly, due to the family's own genetic characteristics of the skull, the temples are naturally not full, which is one of the most common phenomena of sunken temples; secondly, thin people have less subcutaneous fat, which can also cause sunken temples, making the whole face lack a streamlined feel; finally, with age, the subcutaneous tissue of the temples begins to atrophy, resulting in sunken temples. The above three reasons are unavoidable, but we cannot let the sunken temples affect our beautiful appearance. Take action quickly and fill your temples as soon as possible!

1. The temple is the weakest part of the skull bone plate

The location of the temple is the intersection of the parietal bone, frontal bone, sphenoid bone and temporal bone, which is called the "pterion" or "pterion suture". This is where the skull bone is thinnest and the bone is fragile. The skull is a hard bone plate that protects the brain. The thickness of the skull bone plates varies from place to place, with an average thickness of 5 mm and the thickest being 1 cm. The bone plate at the temple is only 1-2 mm thick, which is the weakest part of the skull. It is easy to fracture if hit violently. Fractures can directly affect brain function.

2. There are many sources of bleeding deep in the temple

This area of ​​the brain is rich in blood vessels and therefore provides numerous sources of intracranial hemorrhage. The middle meningeal artery originates from the internal maxillary artery, runs upward along the squamous part of the temporal bone outside the dura mater, and branches into the anterior and posterior branches of the middle meningeal artery at the squamous part of the temporal bone at the temple. At the same time, the middle meningeal vein also runs along with the middle meningeal artery. Under the dura mater deeper in the skull, there are also cortical arteries and veins of the temporal lobe of the brain.

A violent blow to the temple can not only damage the middle meningeal artery due to fracture of the temporal squamous part of the skull, but also often damage the middle meningeal artery and vein when the skull is intact, forming an epidural hematoma at the base of the middle cranial fossa. The rupture of the middle meningeal artery forms a hematoma, which is not only very rapid but also has extremely serious consequences. Rupture of the middle meningeal artery can cause a person to fall into a coma immediately. The intermittent periods of lucidity after the coma are extremely short, sometimes less than an hour, sometimes only 10 minutes. A person often falls into a complete coma two hours after the injury. If the bleeding cannot be effectively stopped within 6 hours after the injury, it can be fatal.
