Temple Reconstruction Results (with Photos)

The patient elects to wear a hair system, which explains why it appears that he has a full head of hair in the After photos. The system, however, doesn’t extend to the sides of the head / temple peak area, which was the targeted transplant area. He had exploited his donor area with many transplant procedures and the available donor hair was limited. The areas which were circled were plugs that came down below the leading edge of the hair system and these were removed at the time of the transplant. These are very difficult reconstructions and your surgeon and his team must be experienced when balancing risks and rewards. Harvesting a tight donor area in particular, has wound risks. This patient has extremely fine hair and the density of his donor area was poor. These two issues (hair thickness and donor density) produce a great challenge and in this patient required two surgeries to achieve his goals. Click the photos below to enlarge.
