Hair loss can feel like losing a part of yourself—your confidence, your identity, your youth. Whether you’re dealing with a receding hairline, thinning temples, or overall hair loss, a hair transplant can be a life-changing solution. One area that’s often overlooked but plays a crucial role in natural-looking results is the temporal point—the area on the sides of your forehead where your hairline meets your temples.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about hair transplant temporal point restoration, how it works, and why Dr. Ted Miln is a trusted expert in this field.
Common Questions About Temporal Point Hair Transplants
1. Why Are Temporal Points Important in Hair Transplants?
The temporal points frame your face and define the shape of your hairline. When they recede, your forehead can appear larger, and your hairline may look unnatural—even after a transplant. Restoring temporal points is key to achieving a balanced, youthful look.
2. Can Temporal Points Be Transplanted Like the Hairline?
Yes, but it requires a highly skilled surgeon. The hair in the temporal area grows at a unique angle and requires precision placement to match the natural flow. Dr. Ted Miln specializes in creating dense-packed, natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with existing hair.
3. How Many Grafts Are Needed for Temporal Point Restoration?
The number of grafts varies based on your degree of hair loss, but typically ranges from 200 to 1,500 grafts per side. Dr. Ted will have to carefully assess your facial structure and existing hair pattern to determine the right amount.
4. What Techniques Are Used?
Dr. Ted offers both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT/strip surgery), often combining them for maximum graft yield. FUE is ideal for those wanting minimal scarring, while FUT can allow for a higher number of grafts in a single session.
5. How Long Does It Take to Heal?
Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for a few days to a week. Full results take 9-12 months, but noticeable growth begins within 3-4 months.
6. Will My Results Look Natural?
Absolutely. Dr. Ted’s artistic eye ensures that transplanted hair mimics your natural growth pattern. He places each graft at the right angle and density, creating a seamless blend between transplanted and native hair.
