Treatment Overview
The Body Hair Transplant for Temple & Forehead Regions is a refined micro-FUE technique that uses fine body grafts—typically leg, arm, nape, or soft beard hairs—to restore density, shape, and natural contour to the temples and upper forehead zones.
These areas require some of the softest, finest, and most delicate hairs, making body donor grafts an excellent solution for patients with limited scalp donors or those needing extremely natural blending.
Korean surgeons are known for creating beautifully shaped temple peaks, feminine temple curves, and natural forehead reinforcement using precision body-graft placement.
Purpose & Benefits
This treatment helps refine temple/forehead density and shape for both men and women.
Key benefits include:
- Perfect for recreating soft temple peaks or feminine temple arcs.
- Provides ultra-fine, texture-compatible body grafts.
- Ideal when scalp donor hair is too thick for frontal softness.
- Helps correct temple recession, thinning, or asymmetry.
- Improves overall hairline harmony and facial framing.
- Suitable for patients who want subtle, natural improvements.
Ideal Candidates
You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Have thinning or receding temples.
- Need a natural, soft-textured hairline transition.
- Have thick scalp donor hair that looks unnatural at the temples.
- Have limited scalp donor supply and need alternative donor sources.
- Want feminine temple shaping or masculine temple reinforcement.
- Wish to correct temple gaps from aging, styling damage, or previous surgery.
Possible Risks & Complications
This procedure is safe, but may involve:
- Mild donor redness (2–4 days).
- Slight texture variation if thicker body hairs are used.
- Temporary scabbing in temple regions for 3–5 days.
- Rare ingrown hairs in body donor zones.
- Slight angle sensitivity due to the delicate temple area.
Techniques & Technology Used
- Micro-FUE Body Hair Extraction: 0.6–0.8 mm punches ideal for fine temple grafts.
- Feathered Hairline Technique: Ensures ultra-soft, natural temple blending.
- Multi-Donor Approach Based on Texture:
- Leg/arm hair → softest grafts for temple edges
- Nape hair → slightly thicker but still natural
- Soft beard/chest → for deeper density if needed
- Angle & Direction Control: Crucial for realistic temple curvature.
- PRP / Growth Factors (Optional): Improves early growth and graft health.
