Reshaping the Temples with Hair Transplants

Dr. Rassman, thank you and your team for always having a very informative blog and website.

My question is about transplant to the temples… is it a good idea to reshape the triangle part of the temples? Or is it better to use the grafts for the hairline, etc? Do you have pictures of patients you’ve done temples to that you can share with us?

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, we can reshape the temples! In fact, my surgery case today was reshaping a patient’s temples and sideburns. Here is an example of a patient with temple transplants. He had about 1100 grafts placed into his front hairline and 150-200 grafts placed into each temple.
