https://www.hairtx.com Dallas Hair Transplant Surgeon, Dr. Sam Lam, creates this SlideShare on hair transplant for the temporal point, which if undertaken in the right candidate can produce a more a balanced hairline. He divides types of temporal hair transplant into upper temple, temple, and temporal point that describe the extent of the temporal transplant. The posterior portion of the temple that is lost with advanced baldness is known as the lateral hump. Dr. Lam also shows the design for this area as well. Finally, extensive before-and-after photographs are shown to demonstrate Dr. Lam’s work and to illustrate different types of temporal hair transplants and their cosmetic impact.

2. When designing a temporal point, the
hairline must be balanced by following
the principles of the Norwood pattern…

3. For example, the frontal hairline in B
must have the light gray temple hair
created to match the hairline or the
hairline will look unnatural.

4. This hairline is too far forward
compared to the temple position
and would look better with a
temporal point reconstruction.

5. The temporal point can be defined by the intersection
of two lines: one line drawn through the midpupil
and the tip of the nose and the other line drawn
through the center of the ideal hairline and the
base of the earlobe.

6. The temple can be divided into the lateral hump,
the temple, and the temporal point, with an
extension down lower, known as the sideburn.

7. Hairs grow differently in different parts of the scalp,
and they grow in very unique directions in the
temple, which we will explore more in-depth.
