Temple Hair Transplant in Turkey

A temple hair transplant rebuilds the triangular temple points beside the forehead that recede with age or male-pattern loss. Restoring them reframes the face, softens a high or angular hairline and can make the whole hairline look more balanced. It is detailed work using fine, single-hair grafts placed at flat, natural angles, and we confirm the design and graft count after assessing your case.

Why the temples matter to the face

The temple points are the small wedges of hair that sit at the outer corners of the hairline, connecting it to the sideburns. When they recede, the forehead widens and the face can look longer or more severe. Rebuilding them lowers the visual corners of the hairline and restores the frame around the face.

Temple loss often accompanies a receding hairline, but some people lose temple density on its own — through ageing, tension from tight hairstyles, or previous work that left the corners too high. The goal is a soft, natural transition rather than a hard line.

Why temple work is technically demanding

The temples are one of the most delicate areas to transplant. The hair here is fine and lies almost flat against the skin, pointing downward and slightly back, so grafts must be placed at acute angles and low density to avoid an unnatural, tufted look. Single-hair grafts are used along the leading edge for a feathered result.

Temple recession versus a receding hairline

It helps to know whether your concern is the temple points specifically or a broader receding hairline, because the plan differs. When only the temple corners have receded, a focused restoration can reframe the face with relatively few grafts. When the whole frontal hairline has moved back, the temples are usually rebuilt as part of a larger hairline design, so the corners and the central hairline flow together naturally rather than being treated in isolation.

Recovery and results after temple work

Because temple sessions are usually small, downtime tends to be short — some redness and tiny scabs around the corners for about a week. As with any transplant, the placed hairs shed within the first weeks before regrowing, and the softening effect on your hairline builds gradually over the following months.

Payment is taken in euros; dollar amounts are approximate.

FAQ

Common questions

How many grafts does a temple transplant need?
It varies with how much has receded and whether one or both sides are treated — often somewhere around 400–1,200 grafts in total. We confirm the figure after assessing your temples and donor area.
Will the temple result look natural?
A natural look depends on using fine single-hair grafts at flat angles in the correct direction, with density that blends into the surrounding hair. That is why the temple shape is designed with you; individual results vary.
How much does a temple hair transplant cost?
Temple work usually needs relatively few grafts, but the price does not depend on that: it is one of the three package prices, €1,600 and €2,100 (approx. $1,850–$2,400), also when it is combined with hairline work. How much is restored is planned at assessment.
Will a temple transplant lower my hairline corners?
Rebuilding the temple points brings the outer corners of the hairline forward and down, which reframes the face. The exact shape is designed with your surgeon to stay natural and symmetrical.
Can temples be done on their own?
Yes. Temple points can be restored as a standalone procedure or combined with hairline work. Because the area is small, it can sometimes be done with a limited, discreet session.
Is a temple transplant permanent?
The grafts are taken from the DHT-resistant donor area, so transplanted temple hair usually keeps growing long term. Existing hair around it can still change over time, which is discussed during planning.
Can women have a temple transplant?
Yes. Some women lose density at the temples through traction from tight hairstyles or through ageing, and fine single-hair grafts can rebuild the area. Suitability depends on a medical assessment of the cause and your donor supply.
