How many grafts will I need to fill in the temple area? I do understand that the hair loss would worsen over time (Photo)

Hi and thanks for your question.  I would say between 1250 and 1500 grafts would be good.  Good luck.

Thank you for the photo.  It's hard to tell for sure without an in person exam but in my experience anything less than 1,000 is insufficient.  I'd shoot for 1,500 to incorporate good blending to counteract future thinning.

It is not in your interest to look good only for "NOW".  If you have surgery to fill in the temples it may take 600 to 1000 grafts.  But if you have further hair loss in a year or two, there may be a GAP that forms and you will look WORSE.  You will end up "chasing" your hair loss with more surgery and never being satisfied with the results.  You need a Master Plan (a long term plan) so that you don't look like a "freak" and regret having surgery.

Based on the pictures, you look young and still have a strong hairline. In cases such as yours, in my opinion the best option is not to commit to hair transplants just yet. Instead, if you are noticing your hair thinning or receding, you should consult with a hair specialist in your area to discuss medical treatments to maintain your hair and slow down the hair loss.

To make a good hair transplant for your case, it should also redraw the front line so that your temples will have natural looking.You may need 1500 - 2000 grafts for a good density.
