Treatment Overview
Temple & Forehead FUT Hairline Correction is a specialized cosmetic procedure that reshapes and lowers the hairline using Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).
By harvesting healthy hair follicles from the back of the scalp (the donor area) and transplanting them along the temples and forehead, surgeons create a naturally curved and balanced hairline.
In Korea, this procedure is performed with microscope-assisted FUT techniques and custom aesthetic hairline design, ensuring seamless density and perfect blending with existing hair.
Purpose & Benefits
This procedure aims to correct high or uneven foreheads and restore natural temple contours, creating a more harmonious facial appearance.
Key benefits include:
- Natural and permanent hairline correction
- Soft, feminine curves or defined masculine shapes
- Ideal for covering temple recession and wide foreheads
- High-density results with long-term stability
- Cost-effective with long-lasting growth
Ideal Candidates
Temple & Forehead FUT Hairline Correction is suitable for:
- Women with naturally high or broad foreheads
- Men experiencing temple thinning or M-shaped recession
- Individuals seeking natural, permanent alternatives to hairline tattooing
- Patients with sufficient donor hair on the back or sides of the scalp
- Those wanting precise, artistic hairline design rather than full-scalp transplantation
Possible Risks & Complications
Although safe, a few mild temporary effects may occur:
- Slight swelling or redness near the forehead and temples
- Temporary numbness or tightness in donor area
- Minimal scabbing or crusting that heals within a week
- Rare linear scarring at the donor site (hidden by surrounding hair)
Korean surgeons minimize these risks using trichophytic closure, PRP scalp healing therapy, and laser-assisted recovery systems.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics perform Temple & Forehead FUT Hairline Correction with a focus on artistic design and follicular precision.
Commonly used technologies include:
- Microscopic Graft Dissection for maximum graft survival
- Trichophytic Closure Technique to make scars nearly invisible
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy to enhance graft strength and regrowth
- 3D Hairline Simulation to design customized forehead proportions
- Stereomicroscopic Implantation for smooth, natural direction
This advanced process allows surgeons to recreate natural hairline curvature and density that complements individual facial features.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step 1 – Consultation & Design:
Digital scalp analysis and face ratio assessment to design a natural, balanced hairline.
Step 2 – Donor Strip Extraction:
A thin strip of scalp is removed under local anesthesia from the back of the head.
Step 3 – Graft Preparation:
Follicles are separated under a microscope into individual grafts for precise implantation.
Step 4 – Recipient Site Creation:
Micro incisions are made along the temples and forehead to match natural hair growth angles.
Step 5 – Implantation & Closure:
Follicular units are implanted carefully for a soft gradient effect; the donor area is closed using trichophytic suturing.
Step 6 – Post-Treatment Care:
PRP therapy and cooling masks are applied to promote faster healing and reduce redness.
The entire procedure usually takes 5–7 hours, depending on the number of grafts required.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery after Temple & Forehead FUT Hairline Correction is relatively quick and comfortable.
Typical recovery timeline:
- Day 1–3: Mild tightness and redness
- Day 5–7: Scabs fall off naturally
- Day 10–14: Donor area fully healed
- Month 3: Early hair growth visible
- Month 10–12: Final results achieved
After-care guidelines:
- Avoid washing or touching the treated area for 48 hours
- Use clinic-approved shampoo after 3 days
- Sleep with head elevated for 2 nights
- Avoid sun exposure and heavy exercise for 10 days
Korean clinics also offer follow-up scalp laser therapy or nourishment serums to boost growth.
Results & Longevity
Hair growth typically begins within 3–4 months, with full results visible at 10–12 months.
The results are permanent, as transplanted follicles are resistant to hormonal hair loss.
The new hairline appears soft and natural — blending seamlessly with existing hair and improving overall facial proportions.
