Hair loss in your temples often occurs early in your thinning process- and it can be uncomfortable to watch. Your temples define the appearance of your overall facial features, and even the slightest thinning there can affect the way you feel about yourself and present to the world.
Fortunately, a temple hair transplant remains one of the most effective and precise hair restoration techniques.
Read on to find out if a temple transplant is the right option for you, understand what happens during surgery, recover afterwards and manage your expectations when it comes to cost.
What Is a Temple Hair Transplant?
Your temples are basically those bits of hair to either side of your forehead. However as we get older we start to get the dreaded receded hair line and that gives the impression that our head is much larger and we look older than we are! At the same time genetically this area can start to thin out.
A hair transplant at the temples entails removing hair follicles from the donor site – this is on the side or back of your head, and placing these carefully at the receded hairline at the front of your head.
This is quite tricky to do and because hair grows at such an acute angle there needs to be extremely careful placement of these hairs to achieve natural results. This is suitable for both men and women as many women also have issues with receded hair lines especially when there is hormonal fluctuation.
How Is the Procedure Done?
The gold standard for restoring temples is FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction. With FUE we extract each individual hair follicle using a micro-punch tool to create minuscule punctures from where the follicle is removed. There is no incision line to be stitched together or linear cuts.
After collection, these follicles are precisely transplanted into carefully placed tiny channels, designed to be at the appropriate depth and angle to replicate your natural temple hairline.
Your hairline at the temples is designed to be natural looking, soft and slightly uneven to perfectly frame the contours of your face; the artistry of the hairline is considered the most critical factor before the grafts are placed. The whole procedure lasts anywhere from four to six hours
What Does Recovery Look Like?
The Temple Hair Transplant recovery process is pretty easy for most. A typical recovery timeline may be as follows: For the initial three to five days, you’ll experience mild swelling or redness around the area treated. You’ll receive a step by step guide on how to wash your scalp gently and medications and or sprays you will need to use during these few days.
The transplanted hair begins to shed from the 2 to 3 week mark and you shouldn’t worry. This is normal as it’s called shock loss, and at this point the hair follicles underneath are still active and recovering. New hair starts to grow from month three and beyond, showing great changes at the 6 to 9 month mark and becoming fully evident by twelve months. Usually individuals can resume normal day to day activities in a weeks’ time provided they can avoid sun exposure and strenuous activity including swimming.
How Much Does a Temple Hair Transplant Cost?
The expense can also vary depending on the quantity of grafts you may be getting done, how much graft the technique the surgeon applies and the knowledge of the clinic you choose. As the average required count to do temple hair transplant is anywhere between 500 to 1500 grafts this is considered one of the cheaper hair transplant processes to accomplish to contrast hair transplantation at large sections of your head. From India, the charge will typically be 40,000 to 1,00,000 depending on factors cited above. Always find a clinic which clearly offers an unembellished, sincere estimation- beware of secret add on expenses.
