    I photoshopped my temple points for a photo, ended up getting 100 likes on facebook.

    I basically look like a model with no hairloss.

    **** my life.

        Girls do it too.

        Facebook is a marketing tool. Dont be deluded to think otherwise.

        But the main point to take away here, I am ****ing pissed off at the lack of treatment options.

        My hair to be fair isnt bad, it just looks awkward when I grow it out. So after seeing the shot, I realised that I need to keep it short from now on.

          My decimated right temple F's up my whole facial symmetry. I find I have two options that somewhat help. Have the hair at a decent length to try and cover it, or go zero-1 on the sides and back (crew cut, fade, etc); i think you need decently 'strong' facial features for this though.
          Can I ask why one side is worse thasn the other? Could it be the way you sleep?

          I sleep on my right side and my right temple area is much worse than the left.

            I sleep on my right side too and it is worse...but don't know if it is because I sleep on that side.

            I def noticed the right side declining first and then a year later the left started dying too lol

              You're crazier than I originally thought. Do you have any diagnosed mental illnesses?

                No, it's not uncommon to bald asymmetrically. My right temple is way worse than left, but my left hairline and overall mid-anterior are worse than my right in regards to density - anecdotal.

                        I guess that I am a bit narcissistic, but that's because I take pride of my appearance. I remember when I was growing up, losing hair was the one thing that I did not want to happen, would rather have acne.

                        ****.

                          I have reached a point where aggressive hairline restoration w/o temple work depresses me. The lost opportunity is just crazy.....obviously the patient still looks much better, but the addition of youthful temples would add major points.

                          Do temple points take a lot of grafts to restore or something? Why do they get ignored this often?
                          How many grafts as a rough estimate would it take to restore the temple points would anybody know?

                            No idea, it depends on each case I am sure

                              I've seen pretty radical transformations done with as few as 400 on each side, and more moderate ones done with as few as 200 on each side.

                                If the figure can be this low (400), then why are HT surgeons so hesitant about adding temple points considering how important they are in framing the face, I don't get it.
