Temple points are crucial

[ccmethinning]

I know PLENTY of guys that are older who have hair just as good as his. Both my work colleagues have a great set of hair and they are in their 30s.

Balding is a sign of bad genes.

Only because it's common does not make it OK.

Anecdotes don't make a rule.

^^^yes this is what ive been saying, even a buzzed head nw3+ would look much better with filled in temples..

i even made a topic askign surgoens if they would do that, and why not? what is to lose, as long as its FUE? u end up losing more and shaving it still looks better

[drybone]

If you get your temples filled in, your forehead shirnks, and your shoulders look bigger. You look younger.

In fact, guys who are BALD on top but temples at the sides are filled in still somehow look more symmetrical

I just had my second HT and I got even more temple hair filled in

[yeahyeahyeah]

Omfg you're so dumb - just shut up please shut up.

Anyway.. guys I really agree with the importance of temple points.... Denzel Washington is nearly 60 and has intact temple points - he looks 20 years younger than his actual age.

Morgan Freeman is 76 and his are still intact

[yeahyeahyeah]

Tracy is right, most caucasian males lost at least some of their temple points as they age.

I really wish people on this forum would stop constantly referencing Christianaldo Rinaldo's hair as if it is the norm - it's not.

id donor regenerates we can have our precious temple pointz muahahahaaha

it is true, you seldom see guys over 35 that can rock those kind go young dude harcuts ie faugh hauk, buzzed sides long top etc

but temple recession does make the forehead look odd, and like 25 goin on pointed on, which is a great point, you can have those temple points and be likt a nw2 and it still boosts ur appearance. u dont have to be nw0 juvenile hairline or anythig

It is because it does not look natural for males to retain a youthful hairline. It's as simple as that. However, if a male patient is trangendered the doctor will fill in the temples.

If you would take the time to interview dozens of reputable hair restoration doctors about it, they will give you the exact same answer I just gave you. So don't beat me up for telling you the truth about it. I did not write the guidelines, I'm just telling you what they are.

[greatjob!]

To be fair Tracy, usually you're right about most things, but you're not entirely correct on this one. Most men do lose their temple points with age that is correct, but saying that the only way a doctor will restore your temple points is if you're transgender is just flat wrong.

The only factors that matter with temple points is if you have adequate donor supply and that your temple points won't recede further leaving a triangular island. Usually doctors won't restore the temple points until the very end of a restoration plan, but I have seen 100's of examples of temple point work and it is becoming more common, hell even Jotronic had his temple points worked on.

[yeahyeahyeah]

You are such a belligerent lier. I DID NOT and NEVER HAVE said it happens to all men. I said it happens to most men, especially caucasian males, which is 100% true.

"It is because it does not look natural for males to retain a youthful hairline. It's as simple as that. However, if a male patient is trangendered the doctor will fill in the temples."

Well whatever, the statement above is untrue. Christiano Ronaldo looks amazing with his hairstyle. Ginobbli on the other hand looks like shit.

To answer your point Tracy. I think we are looking at 2 different areas of hair.

No. Maybe you but not Yeahyeahyeah. Yeahyeahyeah has a big fat hard on to bark at me for any possible reason, even if it means mis-reading what I have said and mis-quoting what I say.

To get on to your point, contact and interview a dozen hair restoration doctors about it. If you are talking about the area I am talking about (which is also the area Yeahyeahyeah is talking about), you will get the exact same answer from the doctors that I have given you.

[Tracy C]

Misquoting me AGAIN!

You are such a belligerent lier. I DID NOT and NEVER HAVE said it happens to all men. I said it happens to most men, especially caucasian males, which is 100% true.

[yeahyeahyeah]

You will never get get over it if you continue to insist so belligerently on being so dead wrong about it. Barking at me IS NOT going to change reality. It is what it is and it is not going to change just because you refuse to accept it.

You shouldn't give people misinformation by saying "it happens to all men", I have posted pictures of 2 men, one has his temple points intact, the other doesn't. Incidentally, the second guy is balding.

The only reason why they dont do it is because of limited donor hair.

[Tracy C]

More belligerent nonsense.

Ok this thread does not need to turn into an argument.....I can see it coming already

To answer your point Tracy. I think we are looking at 2 different areas of hair. I was referring not to the hairline corners but to the points of the temples themselves, & below (down to the sideburn area)
See the guy yeahyeahyeah posted w/ the strong temple points....even if his hairline corners backed up to give him a more angular/mature look to his forehead, as long as his temple points stayed intact, he would still have a very good facial frame

Then look at the 2nd guy....an aggressive HT to restore his hairline would help but, if his temples stayed untouched, his facial frame would still be lacking. The line from his sideburn to his hairline corner is almost vertical....this is what I am referring to. This makes a major difference in appearance

This.

Really affects your side profile when you dont have them.
