johnboy-
Actually, I have found that temporal point reconstruction, in general, is another one of those cases where "less is more". IMO, you don't want to aggressively recreate dense growth; only carefully place a minimal number of strategically placed grafts that suggest the presence of those important landmarks. This patient I recently posted actually is a good example of just that:

Note the subtlety of the restoration; actually only about 75 grafts or so per side-
Hope this helps-

Hey Dr. Carman, That is fantastic looking temple point work and one of the first I have seen with such a low number of grafts per side. Gives me hope that I can finish my hair restoration and get my temple points back!

Hey Dr Carman, thank you for posting, that looks very impressive, hope i can get that sort of result from such a small amount of grafts too
