FUT 1718-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Two-Angle Record of an M-Shaped Hairline
A man in his 50s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because of a receding M-shaped hairline and prominent temples, hoping to plan a smoother frontal line. After treatment the case was recorded from the front and from above the forehead; use the sliders below to compare two photo sessions taken about 8 months apart.
This case used FUT to transplant 1,718 grafts, with the images focusing on the central hairline, both temples and frontal coverage. The actual technique, treatment area and graft allocation still need to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on the extent of hair loss, hair calibre, native hair density, donor supply at the back of the scalp and the risk of future hair loss.
M-Shaped Hairline: Front and Overhead Comparison
The two pairs of photos below were taken from the same angle at different times and have been aligned to the same scale and position, so you can compare how the M-shaped hairline looks from the front and from above the forehead.

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, camera 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 Are Grafts Planned for an M-Shaped Hairline?
The assessment looks at the central hairline position, the depth of both temples, native hair density and hair flow direction, weighed against what the donor area at the back of the scalp can provide. 1,718 grafts is the record for this case, not a standard recommendation for everyone; the actual allocation must also take into account facial proportions, personal expectations and the risk of future 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.
