How important restoring temple point? (Photo)

houssam23Jan 9, 2016
My hairline after HT a little bit receded but the temple point is not closed, cuz i m afraid it will not look natural But on the same time, i alway feel the hairline is so straight, maybe if it was more receded it will look better without restoring the temple Or restoring the temple is mandatory ?

It certainly would be acceptable to wear a wig after FUE/FUT hair transplant. However, you should not wear one until the grafts are "stable" which is typically 10-14 days. Certainly you should discuss this with your doctor as you should follow his or her recommendations for the best result.

You cannot fix a bad hair transplant surgery. It's usually for life. You can see another doctor for your options.  Lasers cannot remove scarring from a hair transplant surgery.

If you believe having a hair transplant surgery has changed your face, see your doctor for a recheck.  This is highly unlikely but your doctor should have some good photos from a year ago (when you had your surgery).

"Decent" looking hair is subjective. If you want a consultation and recommendation see a doctor for a proper exam.  You need to understand you may continue to lose your existing hair as you age and that hair transplant surgery will never give you the fullness like Dermmatch or Toppik.

Pluggy hair or bad hair line hair transplant is hard to remove. That is why you need to select your doctor wisely.  One way to address a bad hair line is to add more hair (in front) to cover up the bad pluggy hair.
