Can you transplant hair to the temporal point where it’s never been?

Question

First I’ve never had a nice temporal point. If I could describe my hairline it would be like Payton mannings, except instead of having a tall forehead it’s a wide one. I’ve heard that it might be because I’ve got a wide skull but would it be possible to craft a new sharper one even if that’s the case? Second if I was to get this particular transplant what are the chances the shock from the new hair would cause my surrounding hair to fall out, as I’ve heard this can happen? Thanks for the help:)

Your hairline question would be better answered if you included photos or (preferably) were seen in person.  Shock loss can occur after a transplantation but typically resolves.  Taking finasteride (Propecia) can decrease the incidence as well as help prevent further hair loss.

Some men ask about restoring their temple points as it may be lost as you get older. This is standard in our practice to make this available.
