Understanding Temple Hair Loss

The temporal areas form part of your hairline; they are located at the sides of the forehead above the ear.

The temporal points — those small triangles of fine hair on each side of the temples — play a crucial role in framing the face and visually reducing the length of the forehead. While some individuals naturally preserve their temporal peaks, others may require temple point restoration to maintain their desired look.

That being said, temple area hair loss should not be confused with normal hair recession in the temple region that is associated with the transition from an adolescent to an adult hairline. Candidates for an FUE temple transplant typically have Norwood Type 3 hair loss, which is known as the first stage of balding and is often characterised by noticeable temporal hairline recession.

Because your hairline frames your facial features, a temple hair transplant surgery can have a profound impact on your overall facial harmony, creating a balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Causes of Temporal Recession

Temple hair loss can be caused by many different factors, but it is commonly the result of androgenic alopecia or traction alopecia. Traction alopecia is caused by frequently wearing tight hairstyles that pull at the scalp, such as cornrows and tight ponytails.

Men and women can also lose hair due to changes in their hormones, known as androgenetic alopecia. Temple hair is highly sensitive to changes in a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This sensitivity often makes the temples one of the first areas to experience thinning, particularly in male pattern baldness.

Challenges in Temple Hair Restoration

The temple region presents unique challenges for hair transplantation surgeons. To achieve natural results, it is crucial for the surgeon to carefully design the new hairline and place the hair grafts at the correct angle and depth, mimicking the patient’s natural pattern of hair growth. Some individuals may even have a cowlick in this area, which should be recreated for a natural-looking final result.

Additionally, achieving adequate density during the temple hair loss treatment is essential for blending seamlessly with hair follicles in the forelock and mid-scalp areas.

If you are experiencing hairline and temple hair loss, book a consultation with Dr Bonaros for a bespoke treatment plan.

Our Approach to Temple Hair Transplants

Dr Bonaros conducts a temple hair transplant procedure using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. The FUE hair transplant surgery addresses the unique challenges of temple hair loss while being less invasive than FUT transplant procedures and avoiding a linear scar. Here’s what you can expect from a temple points hair transplant at our hair loss clinic:

Detailed Assessment

Before the procedure, Dr Bonaros will perform a detailed assessment to understand your unique hair characteristics, overall health, and aesthetic goals. This assessment allows us to create a treatment plan tailored precisely to your needs.

Precise Graft Placement

During the FUE temple hair transplant, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, usually at the back of the scalp. The donor hair is then skillfully transplanted to the temporal area of the scalp.

Dr Bonaros is a pioneer in using state-of-the-art hair implanter pens that allow for precise control over the direction, angle, and depth of the hair follicles. This approach streamlines the procedure and allows Dr Bonaros to restore hair in the temporal region with results that look exceptionally natural.

We also use the WAW Duo FUE system. The precision of this technology allows us to recreate temple points with accuracy to ensure a balanced and symmetrical frame for the face.

Natural-Looking Hairline

We understand the importance of creating a natural hairline design. Dr Bonaros focuses on blending the hair grafts seamlessly into your mid-scalp and forelock while harmonising with your unique facial proportions and mimicking what your hairline once looked like.

Dr Bonaros uses his expertise to ensure that the distribution and angulation of grafts achieves the necessary graduation of density to create a feathered, natural appearance.

Temples Hair Transplant - FAQs

Have a question about hair transplant surgery for the temple areas? We’ve answered some of the queries we often receive about temple hair transplants to help you find the best treatment for your hair loss concerns.

How can I prevent temple hair loss?

There are some external factors that can be avoided to prevent temple hair loss. For instance, if you have longer hair, you should avoid tight hairstyles as this can cause damage to the hair follicle. This can cause you to lose hair permanently over time, typically resulting in a receding hairline.

There are also non-invasive hair loss and hair thinning treatment options that may be able to prevent future hair loss and even stimulate hair growth, such as the medications Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride. The most effective treatment to prevent future hair loss will differ from person to person, and it is essential to consult a qualified doctor to find the best option for you.

Minoxidil is a safe alternative treatment for temple hair loss in female or male patients, while Dutasteride and Finasteride are prescribed for temple hair loss in male patients only.

Whether you’re considering temple hair transplant surgery or starting a hair loss medication, Dr Bonaros can help you find the right treatment to regain your self-confidence.

Who performs the hair transplant procedure?

The precision required for a temple hair transplant procedure demands exceptional skill. Yet, in many FUE hair clinics, surgeons may delegate the graft extraction and implantation to their technicians.

At our clinic in Glasgow, Dr Bonaros himself will perform every aspect of the hair transplant on your temples, ensuring that each step is carried out meticulously from start to finish.

How long does the procedure take?

The duration of an FUE hair transplant on the temple points and greater temple areas typically spans four to eight hours. This depends on the number of grafts required from the donor area and if it is part of a greater hair transplant procedure including the rest of the hairline or not.

How painful is a FUE hair transplant for temples?

The FUE hair transplant is carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring that you remain fully awake throughout the procedure while experiencing minimal to no discomfort.

For the temporal hair transplant, we also use the cutting-edge Kinetic Anesthesia Device, which diminishes the discomfort that is often associated with local anaesthetic injections.

What is the downtime for a temple hair transplant?

Our ultimate aim is to ensure a comfortable and straightforward recovery process that maximises your hair transplant (temples) before and after results. Dr Bonaros provides comprehensive guidance on caring for your grafts during the initial weeks following your FUE hair transplant. These post-operative instructions are designed to facilitate a smooth recovery of your scalp.

While some patients choose to return to light work as soon as the day after their temple hair transplant, many prefer to take a few days off to rest and recover properly. You can typically expect to resume your regular activities within a few days and engage in more strenuous physical activities approximately two weeks after your temple point hair transplant.

Jackie Lambert

Dr Bonaros is an incredibly talent doctor in his field and has provided me with a wonderful hair transplant result. Finding information and pictures for female hair transplants was really hard. Hair is such a defining part of us all that is not realised until you start to lose your hair.
I suffered female pattern balding and hair thinning due to menopause and became very self conscious. I was worried about the treatment (as many on line photos looked so horrific), pain, recovery time, would it work, results etc. I also didn't want to lose more hair over the coming years, but also didn't want to have my head shaved at the back for the transplant.
Dr Bonaros answered all my questions and was such a knowledgeable and calming person that I knew he was the doctor for me and I was in safe hands.
On the day of the transplant, he and his team were amazing and so very kind and took great care of me. The aftercare and regular check ups were great.
I have just celebrated by first hair transplant birthday and the result are fantastic. I have consented for Dr Bonaros to share all of my journey photos with any other women out there contemplating this treatment. I cannot recommend highly enough. My hair is thicker and fuller and I even have a full fringe now.

Can't thank the Dr and the team enough for such great work on my hair. It's been a year and I'm delighted with the results of my 4000 graft procedure.

The team were kind, professional and patient during the consultation stage. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

During the operation every step was explained and the experience was made as comfortable as possible over the two days of my 4000 graft procedure. It's a morning of extractions from the donor area and an afternoon of inserting them into the recipient area with lunch provided. I brought some in-ear headphones for a podcast to pass the time and it does fly by. Dr Bonaros was present at all times performing the extractions and graft placement. They worked non-stop during this time.

The post operation care package you get home and the follow up emails and appointments to ask questions really made the whole post care process easy at what is a sensitive time.

Fully recovered and seeing the results, it's gave me a lot of confidence and looking back at old photographs I really do not regret having it done, I wish I did it sooner.

Really appreciate what the clinic has done for me. Thank you Dr Bonaros and Team!

graham jardine

Can’t thank dr Bonaros and the team enough,

I found them to be extremely professional, reassuring and kind.

I work an operating theatre environment so I guess I was a bit of a tough customer however I was very impressed with my hair transplant from first consultation to the operation itself.

I’m now 4 months out and have loads of hair growth, my confidence has been renewed massively and my only regret is not having the treatment sooner!

Thanks again

Kind regards

Graham

Cayden

I had a 2000 graft hair transplant with Dr Bonaros just over a year ago. It was painless, very easy on my part (I just had to lie in different positions and amuse myself) and Dr Bonaros and his team were super informative and happily answered all of my questions both during our initial consult and the procedure itself.

I was seen at 8:50am and we finished up I believe around 4pm, with an hour lunch break (the surgery provided a hot lunch, and were very accommodating with my dietary needs)

Aftercare was very well explained and I was given all the necessary equipment and care instructions for my recovery.

I had no complications during or after the transplant, and healing with a lot easier than I expected. Patience and time are the main factors for the months after your transplant.

I am over the moon with my results, I am so much more confident and my self-esteem has come on in leaps and bounds.

Thank you so much for giving me a new lease on life!

From the very beginning, the entire experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every step of the process in great detail

The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, with minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. The recovery went well, and I was provided with clear instructions and a goody bag to take away to aid my recovery.

I highly recommend that everyone consult with Dr. Bonaro and his staff before making a final decision. You won't regret it!
