What Is a Temple Hair Transplant?

A temple hair transplant restores hair in the triangles on either side of the forehead, where the hairline meets the side of the head. Grafts are taken from the back of the scalp and set into these corners one by one. The goal is to close the deep “M” shape that recession creates.

Temple hair grows at a very flat angle and changes direction within a few centimetres. If grafts are placed too upright, they stick out and look unnatural. That is why this small area needs careful planning, fine single-hair grafts at the edge and a surgeon who controls every incision. Temple work is a good test of any hair transplant center in Lahore, because small errors in angle show up right at the side of the face.

Temple Hair Transplant Candidates

• Recessed corners: men with Norwood 2 or 3 recession where the temples have pulled back.
• Women with thin temples: temple loss from hormones, genetics or traction from tight hairstyles.
• Slowing hair loss: your recession has settled, or you are on treatment to keep it stable.
• Dense donor hair: a healthy supply at the back of the head for a few hundred to a thousand grafts.
• Uneven sides: one temple has receded further than the other and you want symmetry.

Temple Hair Transplant Options in Lahore

Temple Hair Transplant Procedure

1. Mapping the temples: Dr. Aneel measures both sides and marks where each temple point should sit.
2. Donor trim: a small area at the back is trimmed. For women, the trimmed strip stays hidden under longer hair.
3. Local anaesthesia: both the donor zone and the temples are numbed before work begins.
4. Graft harvesting: Dr. Aneel extracts the follicles himself using FUE.
5. Flat-angle placement: each graft is set low against the skin and turned to match the swirl of temple hair.

Temple Hair Transplant FAQs

What does a temple hair transplant cost in Lahore?

Both temples usually cost PKR 45,000 to PKR 140,000 in 2026, depending on graft count. Call 0341-7555512 for your final quote.

How many grafts do temples need?

Most cases need 300 to 600 grafts on each side. Deeper recession or a request for more density can raise that number.

Can temples be done without the rest of the hairline?

Yes, if your front hairline is still strong. If it is also thinning, treating both together often gives a more even result.

Will the temples look natural?

They should, when grafts follow the flat angle and changing direction of temple hair. We avoid sharp, straight corners.

When will my temples fill in?

Growth usually starts by month three to five. The final look arrives around 9 to 12 months after surgery.
