Treatment Overview
The Temple and Forehead FUE Hair Transplant, also known as Temple Recession Correction, is a precise cosmetic procedure that restores natural hair density and contour to the temple and frontal hairline regions. Using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, Korean surgeons implant single and double follicular units at carefully designed angles to recreate a youthful, balanced, and natural hairline.
This treatment is extremely popular in Korea among men with receding temples and women seeking forehead reduction or contour enhancement. With advanced micro-punch systems and artistic design planning, Korea is globally recognized for achieving soft, natural-looking hairlines that perfectly frame the face.
Purpose & Benefits
The main goal of Temple & Forehead FUE is to redefine the facial frame by filling in receded or thinning areas around the temples and hairline, creating harmony between the face and forehead.
Key Benefits
- Restores natural temple density and shape
- Reduces the appearance of a high or receding hairline
- Achieves natural results with fine, single-hair grafts
- Minimal scarring and fast recovery
- Custom hairline design based on face shape and gender
- Long-lasting, permanent solution
Ideal Candidates
This procedure is ideal for:
- Men with temple recession or M-shaped hairlines
- Women with wide foreheads or high hairlines
- Individuals seeking a balanced and youthful facial frame
- Patients wanting scar-free, minimally invasive correction
- Those who previously underwent hairline surgery and want refinement
Possible Risks & Complications
Temple & Forehead FUE is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, but a few minor effects may occur:
- Mild swelling or redness for a few days
- Temporary shedding of transplanted hair
- Slight sensitivity in the donor or temple area
- Uneven early growth that stabilizes over time
Korean clinics minimize risks by using ultra-micro punches, PRP therapy, and customized implantation angles for each patient’s face shape.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korea’s leading hair restoration clinics use advanced micro-punch extraction tools (as small as 0.6 mm) and microscopic implantation systems to create precise, natural results.
Advanced Techniques Used in Korea
- Micro-Punch FUE: Enables minimal scarring and smooth extraction.
- Sapphire Blade Implantation: Allows finer incisions for soft temple density.
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) Pens: Used for delicate placement near the forehead.
- 3D Digital Hairline Design: Maps ideal temple shape for gender and face structure.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Boosts graft healing and growth.
Korean surgeons are trained in aesthetic symmetry, ensuring that both temples match seamlessly and the hairline blends naturally with the forehead curve.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Consultation: Face analysis and digital design of new temple and forehead contour.
- Extraction: Micro-punch removal of grafts from the donor area (back of the scalp).
- Graft Preparation: Cleaning and sorting follicles for density and direction.
- Implantation: Fine grafts implanted in the temple area for natural shape.
- Aftercare: Application of healing serums, PRP, and follow-up care instructions.
International patients benefit from English-speaking medical coordinators, private recovery rooms, and personalized aftercare programs.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery after Temple & Forehead FUE is quick and comfortable:
- Redness and mild swelling fade within 2–4 days
- Gentle hair washing can start after 3 days
- Avoid sun exposure or makeup near the hairline for 10–14 days
- New hair begins growing in 3–4 months
- Full results visible after 10–12 months
Korean clinics also offer post-PRP or scalp laser therapy to enhance regrowth and speed healing.
