FUE 2900-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Forehead-to-Whorl and Both Temples Record

CrownFUE 30s Male

According to the original case record, a man in his 30s had thinning along his frontal hairline and both temples extending back to the crown whorl, and underwent an FUE hair transplant of 2,900 grafts. This update keeps the "forehead to whorl" scope from the earlier article and uses the original high-resolution photos to show both temples before treatment and at a later session.

The 2,900 grafts in this case were planned around the extent of hair loss and donor supply at the time; the same count does not apply to everyone with a similar appearance. The actual area still needs to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on native hair density, hair calibre, donor supply at the back of the scalp, hair flow direction and the risk of future hair loss.

Before and After Comparison of Both Temples

The two pairs of photos below were taken from the same angle at different times, so you can see changes at the left and right temples. To protect the patient's privacy, the eyes and surrounding area have been masked in both pairs; the hairline, scalp and hair volume are left as they are, with no additions or retouching.

This is a photo record of a single case and does not mean everyone will achieve the same result. Between the two photo sessions, hair length, styling, head angle, distance and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how the hairline, temples and visible scalp appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.

How Is Hair Loss from the Forehead to the Whorl Planned?

When thinning covers the hairline, forehead and crown together, the assessment looks beyond the total graft count to the priority and density for each zone. It usually involves balancing the frontal outline, existing native hair, the direction of the crown whorl and donor supply, while leaving room for future changes in hair loss.

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.
