This 73 year old lady stays young with daily yoga. She thought her forehead was looking old because of her hollow temples and she was right. Temporal hollowing is a common finding in the aging face. I did a full face fat transfer on her and show a close-up here of her forehead. The fat has filled in the temple area and also has softened some of the forehead wrinkles.
