Can I have hair transplant for bald spot I was born with on the temple? (Photos)

Our clinic specializes in Hair Transplantation for African American Males and based on the pictures you’ve attached, this is likely a case of Triangular Alopecia. That being said though, you’d need to see a dermatologist in -person to be sure. If a dermatologist visit confirms it is Triangular Alopecia, then yes, it can definitely be transplanted.

Around 200 grafts will do a great job of permanently covering up a bald spot this small.

Different hair transplant clinics vary in pricing, so how much you pay will be (number of grafts) x price/graft at the clinic of your choice. Before looking at pricing, look at patient results for different clinics, and providers to make sure you’re choosing a clinic based on the quality of transplant they will be providing. Finding procedure results on patients who look like you (same level and pattern of baldness, same racial background, etc.), will be helpful in gathering an idea of how your transplant will turn around if you choose the specific doctor and clinic.

People can have these bald/thin spots on their scalp where they never had hair. Hair transplants can also be done to cover scars from surgery, accidents, burns, etc. A consultation is required to make sure the hair and scalp are healthy. Assuming they are, the area marked can be transplanted with good results. If you lose hair in the future, this area should continue to look natural, though you may have to transplant the other side to match if your sides recede too much. You may also try medications to prevent hair from thinning.

Hello,
The appearance from the photos you have provided appears to be similar to triangular temporal alopecia. However, the appropriate next step would be to visit a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis with appropriate dermoscopy exam. Thereafter, the decision could be made to transplant down the line as you are 22 years old and the appearance of your hair will continue to evolve.
