Procedure detail
Recently, “temple point” hair transplants have been discussed heavily on the forums. This isn’t a new topic, but it is usually a somewhat passionate and opinioned one. I’ve always had my own thoughts on the issue of restoring the temple points or “temporal triangles,” but didn’t participate in the recent discussions.
At the same time, I had a patient send me an update of his own 7 month temple point hair transplant results, and thought it would be an interesting opportunity to share the case and discuss the issue a bit.
The patient is a man in his 40s who underwent a number of hair transplant procedures at other clinics in the past. These were focused on the frontal-third and mid-scalp, and they worked well. But despite the coverage on the top, he continued receding and ended up thinning in the temple regions. And although he was covered well with the transplants, he wanted a more youthful framing to his face and didn’t feel like his transplant journey was “complete” without more defined temples.
