Temporal Points Transplant
Dr. Ted is one of the very few hair surgeons in the world who can reconstruct temporal points naturally and comprehensively. Many doctors shy away from this challenging area of the hairline. Hair grow are very acute angles in this area. Restoring these to adequate density that in a way sympathetic to the face requires great skill and experience. Sometimes patients will ask specifically about temporal points – other times, by understanding what people really want, Dr. Ted will suggest these as part of the consultation. Good temporal point reconstruction can give balance and harmony to a hairline. If they are absent, it can make even a well-executed hairline appear like a toupee.
