The new era in hairline reconstruction is here. Temporal reconstruction is critical when attempting to restore a patients hairline. I have seen too many cases over the years where the doctor tried to restore the frontal hairline and did not address the temporal recession. This will draw the attention of others to this area. The reason is that you do not see men who only loose hair in the temporal area and have a normal strong lateral hairline. The only time the temporal area recedes is when the lateral hairline recedes also. So you should not attempt to restore the lateral hairline without addressing the temporal area. In my opinion!

I could not agree more. The human eye is more apt to drift to an area that appears as an unnatural hairloss pattern.

On a side note, other unnatural hair attributes such as too much density can cause eye drift, especially as we get older. Every now and then I'll notice an older guy 60s plus with a mamouth level of density throughout his scalp and it's almost always an indication that he's wearing a system.

The goal in surgical hair restoration is not just to provide coverage, but to do it in a way that looks natural for each patient accomodating aging and that individual's hair characteristics.
