Planning to get a transplant sometime this year and was wondering which clinics have experience with temple restoration and how well they design it. I've sent my pictures to many clinics/surgeons so that they could assess my hair loss and provide me with a design of my new hairline but noticed that they always ignore the temples.Which clinics are best for temple restoration? Eugenix does temple restoration but the design seems a bit too "angled" if that makes any sense. Would prefer a design that was a bit more straight. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/udfgrPlJUW0/maxresdefault.jpg -
Long time lurker at the forum, after a couple of years of browsing through the website and looking up results, I've finally opted for a procedure @ Eugenix, Gurgaon on December the 10th - it's just a day away. I've had an in person consultation with Dr.Sethi last year, and another consultation over the phone with Dr. Arika. They recommend around 1200 grafts, I'm guessing it'll be around the 1400-1500 mark if we get around to fixing my temples. I'm 26 years of old, no major signs of baldness nor does my family have a history. Currently breaching NW 2, hopefully I'll get some pictures in for you guys in a couple of days. I'm praying everything goes smooth, will keep this thread updated over the course of my entire journey. This forum has been very helpful in helping me zero in on a good doctor, so thank you. Any pre-op/post-op advice? I'm all ears! Cheers! -
I am happy to say, with much thanks to this website and it's many users, that I completed my first hair transplant yesterday at the age of 54. For those younger guys who think they'll turn 40 and not care about how their hair looks, trust me, you continue to care about your hair at every age. A hair transplant is something I've contemplated since I was in my 20s. My receding hairline started in college. I loved my hair. My family used to make fun of me because I couldn't pass a mirror without looking at it. Once I realized it was starting to recede, I would sometimes have dreams that it was falling out faster and in clumps. I would wake up and count the hairs on my pillowcase. Those were the early years. As work life got busier and I got older, I just sucked it up and simply styled my hair to look decent in the front. I've been using minoxidil and finasteride off and on for 20+ years. In the last 5 years, I realized I didn't like going to the gym without wearing a ball cap. And then I noticed I wanted to wear a cap pretty much all the time. I decided it was time to start researching hair transplants again. I stumbled on this website (along with others) and was amazed at how the technology had advanced with hair transplants. I was also surprised of the many famous athletes and entertainers getting transplants and looking good at every age. I decided to go for it. I emailed about 5 doctors (all represented on this site), sent pics of my hair and most replied back fairly quickly with their recommendations. The consensus was I needed about 2000 grafts and that I had good donor area. I did a little more research on each of the doctors and Dr. Konior became my top choice for a variety of reasons. I was able to reserve a date and had an in-person consultation with him which sealed the deal. Yesterday I arrived at his office at 6:30AM and met with the staff for about an hour of paperwork. Dr. Konior came in after that and we discussed my goals and then like an artist with a blank canvas, he started working on my hairline. He reached out with his marker like it was a paint brush, placed a line on my forehead and then another and another...he would erase one and then add another or adjust one line and then add another. He repeated this process for about an hour. He was very meticulous, looking at both sides of my face and taking measurements. He absolutely strives to create what is the best hairline for each individual face taking into consideration age and donor availability. When he finally felt he had a good hairline for me, he handed over the mirror and said "here's what I came up with, feel free to make suggestions." I loved it! I mean I wish I had that hairline decades ago. He agreed and so on we went to shaving my head. You've heard how great his staff is and I fully support all those reviews. They are amazing all the way. Without going into every detail, I will tell you that from start to finish it took 13 1/2 hours (including several bathroom breaks and a lunch break), but it sure didn't feel that long to me. I was told I did fall asleep a couple of times, so that's probably why. I returned to the hotel around 8PM. I used a neck pillow and slept at about a 45 degree angle most the night. I woke up this morning, popped an Advil, had breakfast and then went back to his office to have the dressings removed, head cleaned and redressed. I was sent back to the hotel and told to chill and continue to stay upright. That's what I'm doing now which is why I decided to go ahead and share my journey. I'm posting pre-op pics to show my hairline and then you'll see the post-op pics from last night. I also included a couple of pics from the doctor's office BEFORE the surgery started showing the shaved head and lines that were drawn. From what I understand I had slightly more than 2,300 grafts placed with a large percentage being 3 grafts. I will share the actual counts once I learn them. This shows how at a glance I can camouflage the hairline. Reminder, density can be deceiving. The hair on the top of my head is not extremely dense. It's not see through, but not dense. Here is a wet look. This was the pick I submitted online to show donor area. And now the fun begins....here are the day of pics.... If you look closely, you can see where my actual frontal tuft exists. It appears like my hairline is dropping considerably, but it's actually not more than 1/2" to 3/4" max. These next pics are just a few hours post surgery.

Receiding hairline and progressive thinning hair. Also crown area more thinner than rest. in 2016 first FUE treatment in Amsterdam. Total 1100 grafts for receiding hairline. Outcome was average.

Hello, I am new to the forum and hopefully looking to absorb as much information as possible. I have become absorbed into trying to find out as much as i can about temple restoration and want to offer a bit of background. My temples began to recede extremely early on. As much as i would say from 16/17 and i knew the density and stuff was completely going in the wrong direction and would say by 18/19 it was pretty much weak as you could probably go. So essentially right now, if you look at some hairlines that have completely lost their temporal points, that's what mine is like. I have now through a lot of searching found that the answer may lie very much in a concentrated and area specific form of Retrograde Alopecia on the sideburns where the temporal points were. My frontal hairline was and generally is well. I would say over the last decade, i've had minimal recession looking back at photos from when i was 21 to now at 31+. I had a quotation from a well known and respected place that's been used by some here and the photos i sent, they identified the the frontal hairline zone to have circa 1200-1500 grafts and quoted me as needing about 250 grafts (all singles) to reconstruct the temple points. The temple points being as they are is my biggest and largest concern in a hair transplant and having them reconstructed with an appropriate looking density. They said they aim for about 30 square CM for the temples and 40-45 square CM for the frontal hairline. My hair personally i feel is more on the finer side, but without a trichologist checking, i can't say for 100% and could be even classed as medium hair. So, with that said, i wanted the opinion of others on whether 250 grafts would provide a dense enough look to the temple points. I'm attaching a picture to show the temples. They're near identical on both sides. The lines provided were originally from the clinic but i have added the darker line to indicate where i actually wanted to adjust the angle of the temporal point. I know some might not agree with it not being as sharp and closer to a more vertical line, but it's literally the biggest insecurity i've had since being young and now at 30+ with stable hair loss and recently being on Dutatesteride and having had stabilisation showing, i feel like i have a longer term potential with it largely having been stable for hair loss for near a decade from like a Norwood 1 to maybe Norwood 2 in very subtle ways without any medication. As an extra tidbit, i have a good beard, and body hair galore should that be necessary but i am looking for a strong frontal hair and temporal restoration.

I’m a 17 year old male and my hairline has been receding faster and faster. what can I do to stop it?

My Journey Through a Magical Hair Transplant / Hairline Correction. Hi Folks, After many months of contemplation, I thought I should write my story here in the Forum, so that a lot many can get the benefits of my 20 years of research. I am a 40-year-old “Boy”! I say Boy cause my Hair Transplant has made me look 15 Years Younger. You will see the transformation in the pictures. Since the age of 16 I have been very conscious of a Receding hair line, at that point my hairline wasn’t that receded but signs were that it was going to happen eventually. My family history is that of a very deep receding hairline, [ father and Grand Father both]. Since this was always on my mind, I took steps to curtail the hair fall [Hair Oil / Hair Tonics etc.] Yes, with the steps the hair fall did slow down but did not stop completely. By the age of 32 My hairline was quite receded, that’s when I decided to go for a Hair transplant. My research I studied and researched the work of the Top Surgeons in Canada / USA / Dubai / Turkey and Greece online. I happen to have a lot of friends in the Bollywood and knew of many Actors who had got their hair transplanted from different places. I have done an In-depth Study of all the surgeon’s and the different methods for Hair Transplant. In 2014, I visited a renowned hair Transplant Surgeon in Dubai who I had zeroed upon for my surgery. However, on consulting him he said I do not need a Hair Transplant and I should wait for a few more years before I correct the hairline etc. In 2019 I finally decided to go for it and came across a “Dream Doctor”. I would not like to state his name or his Clinic’s name as this is not an advert for him. However I am doing this for all those people who want to get the job done. [Probably the best Job done] I had come across the forum long ago and it is a great place to educate yourself and know the details that one should know before the procedure. I hope this thread of mine would help a lot of people to understand the nuances of the procedure and they would take a well-informed decision and be happy like me. The precision in which the hairline should be placed at and then the shape and quality of hair is very important. Moreover, the temple points are really crucial in the overall appearance. If gone wrong, it can be catastrophic. My doctor was only talking and thinking of the art part more and the potential future baldness, that’s what got me hooked to him. Though before the surgery I was confident, after the surgery I got a bit nervous and started reading patient forums. Finally I calmed myself down over months knowing that the final hair takes time. Now, at 1.5 years’ post procedure I feel I can guide many of the folks who are in research phase. I wish people get benefits from my research. Always do a lot of research and talk to many doctors and many patients. Don’t just jump. The Earlier you do a hair transplant [ If required], The Better it is... I wish I'd done mine 5 years earlier !!!

After long consideration and plenty of research, I have booked in with Dr.Bisanga on the 3rd of September 2019 in the new Bisanga / Cole Clinic in Athens. A small briefing of myself. I'm in my early 30's and possibly a Norwood 2. Not losing a mass amount of hair but enough to make me feel self conscious. My hairline used to be lower in my 20's. The hairloss started possibly around the age of 25. Typical hairloss. Receding at the temples and the hairline moving back over. I initially made contact with the B/C clinic after the recommendation on Instagram. Obviously I had done extensive research online and via lots of internet hairloss forums. I am also members of Facebook hairloss groups. It was a very tough process, to filter though all the clinics around the world. Initially, I would have wanted to get the surgery done in the UK. As it's a very daunting process to fly to a foreign country for any cosmetic procedure. As my research esculated and knowledge increased, I found that there wasn't many top surgeons in the UK. I'm definitely not saying there isn't any, I'm just identifying that my background checks on surgeons just didn't accumulate to much. I also did a hell of a lot of research on Turkish Clinics. In the end, to cut a long story short, my main essential questions never got the answer I was looking for. My thoughts behind choosing between either Dr.Bisanga or Dr.C was purely personal preference. A flip of a coin some people may say. Dr.C has been a innovator within the FUE industry creating industry designed tools distributed world wide and performing numous FUE transplants. He also trained Dr.Bisanga. My thoughts behind the choice of surgeon was souly based on my research. Also the type of surgery I was requesting and the results to back it up. Dr. Bisangas work stood out by a mile in relation to my specifics. His hairline lowering and temple work was top notch and widely documented online. Meanwhile, although I could find lots of Dr.Cs top great work online there wasn't as many (to my preferences) stood out compared to Dr.Bisanga's. Through many a conversation with my patient advisor Ian Rafferty, I decided to book with Dr Bisanga. I must say, my patient advisor Ian has been top class. Every question (there's been alot) has been answered to a tee. Quick response times, honest and realistic answers. There's no main sales tactic within this process. It made me feel reassured that the patients interests were best at heart. In my photos you will see the two hairlines illustrated on the photographs. The back hairline is what has been agreed between myself and Dr.Bisanga. He did mention that every patient is different.Normally Dr. Bisanga would look for a minimum distance of 7 cm between hairline and eyebrows. In my case due to facial features he has agreed to lower my hairline by 7-8mm. The white dotted hairline is what I would have wanted initially, (if possible) but I am more than happy to take on the knowledge of Dr.Bisanga, knowing he has my best interests and future mature hairline in his considerations. I'm going to document my full Jorney on this forum and possibly some others. Thanks, and I hope this is of some interest on your particular hair transplant journey.

Hey guys , had 2700 grafts fue done may 2 2019 ... been on finasteride for over a year now. The shot of my forehead is the before photo obviously .. the shot of my donor area is the day of a bald fade mid height hair cut ( I now know not to go that low again lol ) but it’s good for you guys to see fue scars , and how they can differ from one patient to another . Overall what do you guys think ? I think I may go in for more density but I think the hair line is good . Lemme know in the comments I’d love to get some Un biased feed back

Hair was like this from about 15. It doesn't get any worse but I feel like the temples are too bald, and also the hairline is higher than usual. Almost 25 now, based in south of Europe and the prices are like 2-2.5 Euro per graft here. Not sure how much will I need - 1500 for the temples? Tried minoxidil and some basic tablets to no help (was like a year). Doesn't seem to reced even without any treatment now or to thin, but I certainly believe that something is definitely off, giving an unpleasant look, making me also looking older in a bad way. Open to any recommendations. To clarify, I just want to look objectively better and not sure how should I go in the realm of hair. Much appreciated. Images attached.

Hey all, I'm a 34 year old guy with fine blonde hair that has receded at the hairline and temples a decent amount. I've been perusing this site off and on for years now and have finally decided to pull the trigger on a procedure. I originally was scheduled to go to Belgium for a procedure, but do to the climate of the world these days, have elected to go a different route. I didn't make that decision with ease, as I've seen great surgeries coming out of Belgium, Turkey, and Spain. However, I live in the California Bay Area and have been following Dr John Diep's results closely, and have been impressed. I am of course nervous about the outcome of the procedure, but have been on the fence for far too long and feel like it's time to go for it. Dr Diep quoted me about 2500 grafts FUE. With all the research I've done, that was about what I was expecting. The fact that my hair is so fine makes me think that I'm going to need 2 surgeries for the density that I want, but so be it if it ends up looking the way that I want it to. I'm also concerned about the temples looking natural. That seems to be one of the more difficult things for surgeons and the techs to get right. Again though, I've seen some good ones come from Diep's office. While I've mostly seen positive things from Dr Dieps office, I've seen some negative posts on here from a few years back as well, both of which I believe were FUT. I actually called and am going in for a second consultation with Diep next week to ask questions about his techs, my hairline design, how big of a punch they will use, expected yield, etc. My HT is currently scheduled for Feb 18, so just over a month away. Would love to hear back from past Diep patients or anyone with fine lighter colored hair who's had FUE done to restore hairline and temples.

Hi, I finally decided to bite the bullet and went with Dr Demirsoy on 20th December 2017. Although I was very nervous at first, Muzaffer who is the translator and organiser is a very calming character and kept me informed at all times so felt very comfortable and well looked after. The experience of it all I can't really fault at all so I wont bore people with the details as i'm sure you've heard it all before. Everything went very smoothly and only painful part i found was the injections in the donor area but this is only a very short part of the entire procedure so no real issue.

Hello everyone! I just had my first ever FUE with Artas but I feel that the doctor could have lowered my hairline and filled in the temples. That's what I was expecting and told him so, however, he refused saying that my whole look will not look natural and that it will crappy if my current hair starts to fall as well. I totally disagree. What do you guys think? Attached are fresh pictures, 2 hours after surgery.

Dr. Shelly Friedman – ARTAS FUE – 1,541 Grafts - Norwood II - 1 Year Results Dr. Friedman performed a FUE transplant using the newest hair restoration technology, ARTAS. The ARTAS procedure enables Dr. Friedman to use a robot to harvest grafts with a precise level of control and accuracy leaving the donor area without noticeable scarring. Our patient is a 40 year old male that had sparse areas in the hairline and temples. Dr. Friedman successfully transplanted 1,541 grafts. Total of 755 single follicles were placed in the hairline and temples. 786 group follicular units were placed in frontal region, bilateral temples and hairline. FUE via the ARTAS is minimally invasive leaving the donor area with small pin sized undetectable scarring, unlike the FUT lateral eclipse scarring. ARTAS is best for those who may desire to keep a short styled hair cut or shave their head. Dr. Friedman uses custom blades and strategically places each follicular unit at the correct angle and direction creating the patient’s transplanted grafts to grow in a natural pattern. These photos show our patient pre-op and 1 year post-op. Patient’s hair loss prevention is using low-level laser therapy every other day for 30 minutes.

A bit about myself: I'm a 32 year old male and I've had a receding hairline since I was about 24. I jumped on propecia (half a pill) and rogaine relativitly soon thereafter, and either because of that or just because of genetics, the rest of my hair is actually quite full and healthy. I'd say I'm an aggressive Norwood 2 on my left side and a Norwood 3 on my right side. I became adept at using my forelock to cover my hairless but even that slowly became less effective and it was also annoying to have to worry about strategic hair placement all the time. Most people, if they found out I had a hair transplant, would say I didn't need one, and it's true I never felt I needed one, but now that I've had one, it only validated my belief that a modest change to my hairline would make a significant aesthetic result. Now onto that: I had waffled with the idea of having a hair transplant for years. Being relatively young and having most of my hair in tact, I juggled feelings of doubt (would I regret filling in my temples if all the rest of my hair falls out in the next ten years), money (hair transplants are not cheap!), guilt (with so many balding people who would love my hair, was I being shallow in wanting a relatively minor area filled) and even basic philosophical questions like "given I can't stop my body from aging, isn't it better to just accept aging as it comes instead of trying to fight it, which is a guaranteed losing battle?" But recently I decided to stop overthinking things and adopt the theory that if I did my research and gave myself enough time to reflect that this is what I really wanted, then I could go forward with the surgery and live with whatever consequences there were, knowing I educated myself as much as I could at the time. Thus, I met with a number of doctors and did an insane amount of research, to the point I became an untrained expert on hairloss, and ultimately I decided I did want to proceed, but I wanted to proceed with the best doctor I could possibly find. That ended up being Dr. Konior. I had 1230 FUEs, and granted I'm young and healthy, but the work was so well done that 7 days after the surgery I was able to buzz my head so my existing hair was the same length as the new grafts, and nobody noticed I had a transplant - they all only complimented me on the new buzzed look. There were no visible scabs in the recipient area and no visible scars in the donor area that shortly after surgery. Dr. Konior and his staff are utmost professionals and are very good at being available. Dr. Konior has a reputation as being a perfectionist, and everything I've seen thus far has lived up to that. Not only were my recipient area and donor area extremely clean (even Dr. Konior's staff remarked at how unusually clean they were), I had very minimal pain afterward and it was only for the first few days. Granted, perhaps my age and overall health, along with my relatively small number of grafts, led to such fast healing, and I have yet to see how the grafts will actually grow, but so far every expectation of mine has well been exceeded. Dr. Konior is an artful FUE doctor, and while pricey, worth every penny if you can afford it. If you're looking for the best, you might find equivalents, but I doubt you'd find better. I'll update this, and hopefully my sentiments will not have changed, when the grafts grow. -

Hey everyone, just though i'd register to this site has it seems really informative and it's nice to know i'm not alone in hair loss at such a young age. Anyway, I say young (i'm 25). I noticed about 2 months ago my temples and general hair line was receding rapidly. Is their any products that work to stop the receding or even regrow my hair back? I'm from the UK and i've read about Regaine but thats like ?50 for a mere 3 months! I just want something that'll slow down the process and hopefully regrow the hair, without paying a huge sum of cash. Please can anyone help, i'd be most grateful. Thanks.

After lurking the forums for a couple months now, I've finally decided to become somewhat more active. So I'll start by saying howdy to the rest of the bunch! I'm a 22 year old university student who has dealt with temple recession for some time now. I've had a widow's peak since as far back as I can remember. Nearly every man on my mother's side of the family have had similar hairlines, but no excessive balding as far as I know. As far as my dad's side is concerned, I only know that my father has receded slightly in to a mature hairline, but this didn't start until he was well in his late 30s and still has a healthy head of hair. I've also been the one to sport longer hairstyles, but with the growing recession that's been somewhat difficult to pull off. I decided to shave my head about a month ago and it hasn't made things a whole lot better. If anything it's even more obvious now. It's been somewhat difficult for me to judge the rate of my hair loss, as my temples have been fairly high for several years, since the summer of 2009 at least. But it does seem as though the left side of my head has slightly more recession, and I'm beginning to wonder if the entire scalp is thinning, though I may just be getting paranoid. Again no one in my family has anything past a NW 3, but I suppose that doesn't mean I won't be dealing with it... So at this point I'm quite eager to start doing something about this. I've been doing extensive research on HT and as a student who's still looking to go to graduate school, it doesn't seem financially promising for the time being. I have noticed a lot of good things about Dr. Radha Rani in particular, which may be a perfect option considering it's cheaper (I could invest more easily), and I've always wanted to visit India (I have studied Hindi and am focusing on Buddhist Studies, which makes Vizag historically VERY relevant to my field). But again, this doesn't seem to be an affordable option for the time being, so my next step would be to have a consultation with a dermatologist. As soon as I can find one in this middle-of-nowhere town I will, but I would also like to get an opinion from the community: What sort of medications would you recommend for someone with my type of hair loss? I feel as though if my hair were thicker, the hairline itself wouldn't be as much of an issue to maintain and hide. Then again, preventing or reversing further recession may be more of a priority and if I could restore my hairline in any way I would. I've heard minoxidil works for some people. Any suggestions? I'm open to sharing whatever I know. Also my album shows a few photos that may give an idea of what we're looking at.
