Hi Endo,

 

The area you have circled is the temple point and it is common for surgeons to either strengthen/recreate the temple points alongside other scalp implantation or on their own.

Temples.

 

These points can be constructed by a surgeon but it depends on your degree of hairloss and if its even realistic for your situation. Best would be to do a consult to see if its feasible.

Just for the sake of completness:

 

The temples are often restored in a surgery, but they are much more difficult to reproduce than the hairline. Reason: Difficult angels. FIne hair. Typically slightly different color.

 

Nice example is here. Great growth and nice natural angles of the hairs but different texture make a very short cut difficult: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/187515-2987grafts-dr-lupanzula.html

They can be done and will normally require a few hundred grafts per side, depending on how receded they are.

 

Is this the only area from which you have lost hair?
