FUT 2866-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Frontal Hairline and Crown Whorl Two-Angle Record
A man in his 40s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because the scalp around his crown whorl was clearly visible and his hair was thin from the forehead to the crown. He hoped to reduce how much of the crown showed while also considering the frontal outline. After treatment the case was recorded from a front angle and a crown whorl angle; use the sliders below to compare the two photo sessions.
This case used FUT to transplant 2,866 grafts, with the images focusing on the crown whorl, the mid-scalp and the frontal hairline. 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.
Frontal Hairline and Crown Whorl Two-Angle Images
The front view shows the hairline height, both temples and the middle of the forehead; the crown view shows how much scalp is visible around the whorl and the direction of hair flow. With the slider at the centre, you can compare the same area 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, curl, combing direction, head angle, camera distance, background and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how the scalp and hair volume appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.
How Are Grafts Planned When the Crown Area Is Large?
Thinning at the crown whorl usually covers a larger area than at the front, so the density a given number of grafts can achieve there is more limited. The doctor assesses the distribution and calibre of native hair around the whorl, where thinning may continue to spread, and how many follicles the donor area at the back of the scalp can provide, before deciding how to divide grafts between the crown and the front; if hair loss is still progressing, medication and long-term planning are usually discussed as well. 2866 grafts is the record for this case, not a standard recommendation for everyone; the actual allocation 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.
