Hey there,
I've been browsing this forum quite a lot recently as I'm being more aware of what I eat now. Peating has been a slow and gradual process over the past 2 months as I'm changing my diet. I have an issue which hasn't been covered here before since I couldn't find any threads so I thought I would make one.
I suffer from temporal wasting, where the temples at the sides of your forehead sink in and indent inwards. This is due to fat loss apparently in your temple area, making your forehead appear bigger and gives you an alien head.
A few causes of temporal wasting:
- Ageing (main cause. its usually related to ageing)
- Malnutrition
- Autoimmune disorder
- Thyroid problems
These are the main causes I've found online which frequently come up. But there isn't much information regarding temporal wasting in general it seems. I started taking Vitamins D/A/K2 supplements last week and also trying to follow other advice been given from here. Mainly because my recent blood test showed I'm deficient in vitamin D and I'm trying to improve my overall look and health in general. So face is part of that too. I'm not losing weight or anything and actually trying to loose excess facial fat; the rest of my body is fairly lean. I'm afraid if trying to lose facial fat will cause me to lose more mass/size from my temples. I'm only 19 so I don't think my issue is ageing, also I've noticed from older pictures of when I was younger that this started to happen around age 16 since. Before then in all my photos my temples appeared to be full and meet nicely with my upper jaw in a straight line. I also don't think ( I hope not) it's an autoimmune disorder that's causing this since I wasn't born with hollow temples. Unless you can develop autoimmune disorders in your teen years.
Does anyone know what I can do reverse temporal wasting? It really ruins my appearance and makes me look ill/weird. I assume it's due to malnutrition since my recent blood test shows my thyroid levels are fine too. Also around age 15/16 I started eating a lot of junk food and really blew away my diet, the same time my temples started losing mass. Though it could be just a coincidence. How does fat distribution work in your face and what foods should I eat that could help restore balance to my temples? I know it's a really and uncommon problem but thank you. I appreciate any help.
