FUT 2169-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Overhead Record of the Central Crown Parting
A man in his 20s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because scalp was clearly showing along his central parting and his hair was thin from the forehead to the crown. He hoped to reduce how much of the central scalp was visible. About 4 months after treatment the case was recorded from an overhead angle; use the slider below to compare the forehead-to-crown area at the two photo sessions.
This case used FUT to transplant 2,169 grafts, with the images focusing on coverage from the forehead to the central crown. 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.
Overhead Images from Forehead to Crown
The overhead angle shows how much scalp is visible along the central parting and how hair is distributed from the forehead back to the crown. 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.
Drag to compare
This is a photo record of a single case and does not mean everyone will achieve the same result. Hair length, hair colour, parting and fringe styling differ noticeably between the two sessions, and in the later photo the fringe also covers the frontal hairline, which strongly affects how much scalp shows and how full the hair looks. Camera distance, lighting and background also differ, so the photos should not be read as a direct density comparison. After a hair transplant, hair usually takes several months to more than a year to grow in gradually; about 4 months is still an early-stage record, and actual recovery varies from person to person.
Thinning Along the Central Parting: What Is Assessed Before a Transplant?
When scalp along the central parting is clearly visible, the doctor first needs to establish whether the thinning is still spreading, the calibre and density of the native hair, and how many follicles the donor area at the back of the scalp can provide. In younger patients hair loss may continue to progress, so medication and long-term planning are usually discussed as well. 2169 grafts is the record for this case, not a standard recommendation for everyone; the actual area and density must be decided at an in-person consultation. You can also read more about how FUT harvests grafts and who it suits.

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.
