COMBO 3945-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Forehead to Crown Record
A Taiwanese man in his 40s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because of marked thinning at the forehead, central scalp and crown. He hoped to balance coverage of a large area with donor planning. After treatment the case was followed up from similar angles; use the slider below to compare the forehead to crown at the two photo sessions.
This case was planned with COMBO, a combination of FUE and FUT, at 3,945 grafts, and the images record the forehead, central scalp and crown at two photo sessions. The actual technique, harvesting method and graft allocation for each area still need to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on the extent of hair loss and donor supply.

This is a photo record of a single case and does not mean everyone will achieve the same result. Hair length, styling, camera distance and lighting were not exactly the same between the two sessions, which affects how much scalp is visible. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.
How Are Technique and Graft Count Assessed for a Large-Area Transplant?
When the forehead, central scalp and crown are involved, the doctor assesses donor density at the back of the scalp, scalp condition, hair calibre, the extent of hair loss and the risk of future hair loss, then discusses whether to harvest by FUE, FUT or COMBO and which areas to prioritise. 3,945 grafts represents this case's record only.

Results vary between individuals and depend on native hair density, hair calibre, donor supply and aftercare. Graft counts reflect each patient's own hair loss at the time and are not a fixed recommendation; your plan requires an in-person assessment by the doctor.
