Temple recession is the first visible sign of androgenetic alopecia in men — also common in women with traction alopecia. Restoring temples requires technical precision and understanding of natural anatomy.
Natural Temple Anatomy
Natural temples have a specific recessed, angular shape. The temple hairline curves from the main hairline into the sideburn, with hair lying flat at specific directions — not a straight line.
Technical Considerations
Direction and angle: Temple hair lies flat at a very acute angle. Incorrect angles produce an immediately unnatural result.
Appropriate depth: Restoring temples too far forward creates an age-inappropriate look.
Single-hair grafts only: Exclusively single-hair grafts at the temporal edge.
Typical graft count: 200–500 grafts per temple for moderate recession.
Combining Temple and Frontal Restoration
Temple and frontal restoration are planned together as a unified hairline design — creating a cohesive frame for the face.
Temple restoration requires precision equal to frontal hairline design. Our team has extensive experience in complete hairline reconstruction.
