Temple Hair Restoration
Temple restoration is a specialized FUE procedure designed to rebuild thinning or recessed temples and restore natural framing to the hairline. At Newport Beach Hairline Restoration — a specialized division of Plump Medical Spa — every procedure is performed personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
Temple work is among the most technically sensitive areas of hair restoration. The angle and direction of each graft must be placed precisely to match natural temple flow — subtle, shallow, and specific to each zone. Overbuilding this area is as detectable as no treatment at all.
- Restores facial balance and symmetry
- Softens a widened or angular hairline
- Improves natural framing of the face
- Blends seamlessly with existing density
- No cut, no stitches, no linear scar
What Makes Temple Work Distinct
Temple hair restoration is not simply placing grafts in a thinning area. The geometry, angle, and transition into the existing hairline require a level of technical precision that sets this work apart.
Hair direction and angle in the temples must be carefully mapped before a single graft is placed. Temple hair flows at a different angle than frontal hair — misplaced grafts are immediately visible.
Temple work requires restraint. Overbuilding this area creates an artificial, pluggy appearance. The goal is a soft, gradual transition that looks like natural hair — not a procedure.
Each design must harmonize with the current hairline and account for future progression. A temple result that looks natural today must continue to look natural as surrounding hair changes over time.
Precision Over Volume
Temple restoration differs from hairline or crown work. The area is smaller, the technical demands are greater, and the margin for error is tighter. Fine single-hair grafts are typically required at the transition zones. Growth direction is highly specific — temple hair flows almost parallel to the skin at the peak and changes angle through the recession area.
Every temple plan begins with a full symmetry assessment. The target position, density, and shape are mapped around facial structure and the existing hairline before any treatment is scheduled.
Dr. Mortazavi designs and directs every temple case from the initial symmetry assessment through the procedure and recovery. Temple restoration is carried out within a physician-led clinical environment — the plan, the zone mapping, and the surgical oversight are all directed by Dr. Mortazavi throughout.
- Fine single-hair grafts often needed at transitions
- Growth direction is highly zone-specific
- Transitions into frontal hairline must stay soft
- Natural temple flow matters more than density alone
- Symmetry between both sides critical
Balanced. Natural. Undetectable.
The temples frame the face. When they look right, everything looks right. When they look wrong, nothing else matters.
Structured Process
Temple shape, symmetry, donor availability, and long-term progression evaluated. Target position and density confirmed before any treatment is scheduled.
Individual follicular units harvested without a linear scar using NeoGraft assisted FUE technology. No scalpel, no stitches.
Grafts carefully sorted and preserved to maintain integrity, viability, and strong long-term growth outcomes.
Physician-performed placement with precise attention to angle, direction, softness, and natural blending. Single-hair grafts at transition edges.
Typical graft range for focused temple refinement, depending on recession depth and density goals.
Typical range when temple work is combined with hairline blending or frontal density refinement.

Is Temple Restoration Right for You?
Temple restoration is appropriate for patients with early to moderate temple recession as a standalone procedure, or as part of a broader hairline restoration plan. Many patients combine temple work with frontal hairline restoration for a unified, complete result.
The key requirement is donor density sufficient to supply the temple zones without compromising the donor area for future needs. This is evaluated at consultation along with the degree of recession and long-term progression risk.
