FUT 2127-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Two-Angle Record of Hairline and Temples
A man in his 20s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because both temples were receding and the centre of his forehead was thin. He hoped to redesign the outline of his frontal hairline. About 2 years after treatment the case was recorded from the front and from above the forehead; use the slider below to compare the forehead at the two photo sessions.
This case used FUT to transplant 2,127 grafts, with the images focusing on the frontal hairline, both temples and coverage from the forehead to the central scalp. 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.
Two-Angle Images of the Hairline and Temples
The front view shows hairline height, both temples and facial proportions; the overhead view shows coverage from the forehead to the central scalp. With the slider at the centre, you can compare the same area along the midline of the head across the two photo sessions; the eyes have been masked to protect the patient's privacy.

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, combing direction, head angle, camera distance and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how the hairline, scalp and hair volume appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.
Receding Temples: How Is the Hairline Planned?
Planning for receding temples considers hairline height, the curve of both temples, the density of native hair at the centre of the forehead and how far recession may continue, weighed against how many follicles the donor area at the back of the scalp can provide. In younger patients hair loss may keep changing, so the hairline position needs to be discussed more conservatively. 2127 grafts is the record for this case, not a standard recommendation for everyone; the actual design and density must be decided at an in-person consultation.

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.
