Temple hair transplant surgery involves relocating hair from the back and sides of the scalp into the temples. The transplanted hair takes 9-12 months to grow and will last 10-20 years.
Our Surgeons at The Treatment Rooms London are world renowned experts in performing temple hair transplants using the unshaven technique giving patients a quicker recovery time.
Temple Hair Transplant Before and After
Temple hair transplant surgery
The main technique used for a temple hair transplant is the FUE hair transplant technique. The process involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the 'donor area' and transplanting this hair to the temples to provide thicker hair. The process of temple hair transplant surgery can help:
-
- Restore good density in the temples that blends with the forelock and mid-scalp
-
- Recreate a cowlick if you had one previously in your temples
-
- Recreate natural hair direction and angulation so the new hair transplant looks no different to your hair previously
After a hair transplant you will be able to style and groom your hair as normal. Your temple hair transplant should last 10-20 years or longer.

Temple hair transplant recovery
It generally takes 7-14 days to recover from a temple hair transplant. At the 2 week mark, you will find your transplanted temple hair starts to shed.
At 2 weeks you can see some hair starting to shed in the transplanted hairline.
At The Treatment Rooms London, our Surgeons are experts in being able to plan and perform an unshaven temple hair transplant which allows a shorter recovery period. Our clinic gives you specific, bespoke aftercare following your temple hair transplant to ensure your recovery is smooth and stress free at home.
After you have recovered, the hair that has been transplanted into the temple area will shed before regrowing again over 9-12 months. You can view a full timeline of temple hair regrowth here: Hair Transplant Timeline.
Temple hair transplant cost
The cost for temple hair transplant surgery will be based on the size of your temples. Typically the price for FUE hair transplant surgery in the temples ranges between £5,000- £6,000.
The cost will be dependent on the number of grafts you require for surgery, your hair type and whether you wanted to opt for a minimally shaven or unshaven temples hair transplant. It is quite common for patients to undergo a minimally shaven transplant for the temples region as it quickens their recovery time and return to work.

temple hair loss FAQs
Yes, a hair transplant can help restore receding temples by moving healthy hair follicles from the donor area to the temple area with thinning. A successful temple hair transplant procedure depends on factors such as hair quality, the level of donor area available, and the experience and expertise of the surgeon.
The cost of a hair transplant depends on the degree of hair loss, the number of grafts required and the reputation of the clinic. At The Treatment Rooms London, we provide our patients with a personalised consultation using a patient-first approach. Patients are only provided an accurate cost of their procedure during their consultation with a Surgeon.
While a hair transplant involves the movement of hair from one area to another, a temple hair transplant is different from a full hairline transplant as it targets the receding areas in the sides of the forehead while a full hairline transplant involves reconstructing the entire front hairline (sides and centre).
After the initial stage of hair shedding, hair growth is usually seen around four months post-surgery. Noticeable improvements will be seen around six to nine months after the procedure. Full results are usually visible around 12 to 18 months after the temple hair transplant procedure.
Ideally, this should look natural when done by an experienced surgeon in a reputable clinic. A temple hair transplant can look completely natural when the angle, density, and direction of hair implantation are carefully planned to match your existing hairline.
A consultation with a hair transplant specialist is the best way to determine if you're a suitable candidate. Factors such as the stability of hair loss, donor hair availability, and overall scalp health will be assessed to understand whether you are a candidate or not for the procedure.
