FUT 3587-Graft Hair Transplant Case | Overhead Record from Forehead to Crown
A man in his 20s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because his hair was noticeably thin from the forehead to the central crown and his scalp showed through easily. He hoped to plan overall coverage from the forehead to the front of the crown. After treatment the case was recorded from an overhead view of the forehead; use the slider below to compare the forehead-to-crown area at the two photo sessions.
This case used FUT to transplant 3,587 grafts, with the images focusing on the frontal hairline, central scalp and front of the 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 the frontal hairline, how much scalp is visible from the central scalp to the front of the crown, and the direction of hair flow. 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 scalp and hair volume appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.
Extensive Thinning from Forehead to Crown: How Is the Graft Count Assessed?
When thinning extends from the forehead to the crown, the doctor needs to assess the hairline position, the native hair distribution across the central scalp, areas likely to keep thinning, and how many follicles the donor area at the back of the scalp can provide, before deciding the density and priority for each zone. In younger patients hair loss may continue to progress, so medication and long-term planning often need to be discussed too. 3587 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.
