October 2024 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” The study emphasizes the esthetic importance of the parietal eminence area (posterior parietal triangle) in hair restoration, particularly in patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The authors argue that this area, often overlooked in traditional hair transplants focusing on the frontal and mid-scalp regions, plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance and contour of the scalp, especially in the lateral and oblique profiles. By reallocating grafts to include the parietal eminence during mid-scalp restoration, the study suggests a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome. The research involved several cases where patients showed significant improvement in scalp appearance after including the parietal eminence in the transplant plan, using a combination of scalp and beard hair grafts. This approach is particularly beneficial in cases with limited donor hair availability, as it indirectly enhances vertex coverage.
