Aesthetic Importance of the Parietal Eminence Area (Posterior Parietal Triangle), an Essential Island of Scalp Requiring Hair Restoration

The study emphasizes the aesthetic importance of the parietal eminence area (posterior parietal triangle) in hair restoration procedures. Traditionally, hair transplantation focuses on the frontal and mid-scalp areas, with the vertex being the last priority. However, as hair loss progresses, patients may show noticeable baldness in the parietal eminence area. The researchers argue that this area should be treated as an extension of the mid-scalp area during transplantation. They modified their transplantation procedure to include the parietal eminence area, which resulted in good hair coverage and satisfied patients. The study concludes that hair transplantation of the parietal eminence is a valuable method to maintain balance in the frontal and lateral profiles and restore the head's contours, providing indirect cosmetic benefit to the vertex in cases of limited donor availability.
