FUT 2803-Graft Frontal Hair Transplant Case | Two-Angle Record

FUT 40s Male

A non-Taiwanese man in his 40s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because of a receding frontal hairline and insufficient frontal density. He hoped to reshape the outline of his frontal hairline. After treatment the case was recorded from the front and from above; use the sliders below to compare before and after.

This case records an FUT frontal hair transplant of 2,803 grafts, shown before and after from two angles: the frontal hairline and the top of the forehead. To learn about techniques, the assessment process and recovery limitations, you can first read the full treatment overview; actual planning still needs to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on the extent of hair loss and donor supply.

What Can Be Seen in This FUT 2803-Graft Frontal Case?

The front view shows the frontal hairline outline and how the central area joins the left and right sides; the top view makes it easier to compare frontal coverage, native hair distribution and hair flow direction. Viewing both pairs together helps explain how the same case looks different from different angles.

The case records state that 2,803 grafts were used, but grafts are not the same as individual hairs, and the number cannot be applied directly to anyone else. FUT harvests a strip of scalp from the back of the head and then separates it into follicular units; whether this technique is suitable must be assessed based on the area of thinning, grafts required, donor supply and acceptance of a scar.

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, clothing, head angle, camera distance and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how the hairline and visible scalp appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.

How Is an FUT 2803-Graft Frontal Transplant Assessed?

2,803 grafts is the surgical record for this case and does not mean every patient needs the same number. The doctor considers how far the forehead has receded, hairline design, hair calibre, donor density at the back of the scalp and the risk of future hair loss, then discusses the technique and allocation for each area.

Want to know about your own frontal hairline and how many grafts could be planned?

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.
