Senior Member Spanker Posted December 16, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2010 I have been noticing in a lot of frontal cases that the temple recessions appear to have been transplanted on many patients, that said, they often seem be thinner than the rest of the hair.... What is the reason for this?? Or am I seeing things? I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member Sparky Posted December 16, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2010 they probably seem thinner because they don't transplant multi-haired grafts into this area.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Spanker, Extremely thick temple hair would look unnatural. As Sparky already stated, single hairs are used and often aren't extremely dense packed to ensure a natural and smooth transition into thicker hair. That said, if you'd like to discuss specific cases, feel free to post links to temple hair restoration procedures and list your questions/concerns. This will provide members with more information in order to address your questions. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sean Posted December 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2010 I've seen it in a lot of cases where the temple transplantation seems to look thinner, but then again, there has been few cases that it has come out dense and thick. I don't know if it's due to the quality of the hair or the type of placement. I hope mine turn out well when I go for my procedure. I think they play a big role in framing the face.

Senior Member Spanker Posted December 17, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2010 Bill, I will try to get to that....I do not really like to point out pickiness when the docs do a lot of good. My temple recessions (really temple thinning) is the hairloss I have going on. So I am particular about that. I am hoping 4 a strong hair line. My new years resolution is to stop smoking...then I am gonna get serious about my HT.

Senior Member RCWest Posted December 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Generally, the temples and hairline all around the head are thinner, then blend into the thicker denser hair. That's the way mine has always been. Unless you just have extremely coarse hair. And Sean is right. The temples and hairline in general are what frame the face. I'd rather have a great hairline and thinner hair up top than a receeded hairline with dense hair. To me it pulls off the illusion better.
