AB The  temple  lies  lateral  to  the  eye  and  anterior  to  the  ear.  Its  inferior  border  is  defined  by  the  zygomatic  process  of  the  temporal  bone  and  its  medial  border  is  the  zygoma  itself,  as  it  ascends  lateral  to  the  orbit.  The  superior  border  is  defined  by  the  subtle  deflection  from  the  concavity  of  the  temporal  fossa  to  the  convexity  of  the  frontal  bone.  There  is  great  variability  in  the  amount  of  non-hair-bearing  skin  anterior  and  inferior  to  the  hairline  (Fig.  13.1)  and  this  factors  into  how  operative  wounds  of  the  temple  are  repaired.
