Can I get hair restoration only on my temples? If so, how many grafts would I need based on the pics? (photos)

Question

I am a 34 year old man who has been using RogIne (2x per day) and Finasteride 1.25mg (1x per day) since I was 21. 2 years ago I started using the Hairmax Lasercomb. Also, would I be able to get my hairline lowered so my forehead isn't as large? If so, do you know how much this might cost me?

SunZenRed,Thanks for the question. It is great that you have had the foresight to be on medical regiment that includes finesteride, rogaine, and low level laser therapy; I would recommend adding biotin 5 mg daily. The number of grafts that you would need depend on the surgical treatment design. I need to draw in a hair line that maximizes the framing of your face from all angles including closing in the temples. The number also takes into account the desire density, and head size. A rough estimate might be in the range of 2000-2500 FU. Sincerely,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD.

You would need to see a doctor for an examination and explain to the doctor what you want.  How much lower?  What part of the temple?  The fee is based on this as well as the harvest method.

You have a Norwood IIIA class and I would suggest you a dense-packing to lower your hairline (the planning will take in consideration your family baldness history and physical examination). I would transplant around 2,000 to 2,500 follicular units either by FUT or FUE technique. This amount of grafts would be used not only to lower your hairline, but also to implant into your anterior zone that is already thinning. I wold suggest you to continue your medical treatment and in a future, if your baldness progresses, another surgery will be necessary.

In order to lower your hairline just above the highest wrinkle on your forehead,  you would need about 1800 single hair grafts.

You can lower your hair line and rebuild your temple points using hair transplantation. The result depends on the doctor experience, as hairline design requires artistic as well as surgical skills. There are many factors that need to be considered when designing hairlines, and if done right the results are very natural.
