Male Crown Whorl Hair Transplant Case | Record at About 4 to 7 Months
A Taiwanese man in his 30s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because of thinning at his crown whorl, hoping to plan crown coverage. About 4 months and about 7 months after treatment, the crown was recorded from overhead; use the slider below to compare these two time points.
In this case the overhead view is used to observe the centre of the whorl, surrounding coverage and how much scalp is visible. The actual technique, area and graft allocation still need to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on native hair density, hair calibre, hair flow, donor supply at the back of the scalp and the risk of future hair loss.
Male Crown Whorl at About 4 and 7 Months, Overhead
The overhead view shows the position of the whorl centre, the surrounding hair distribution and how much scalp is visible from the same angle. These images were taken about 4 months and about 7 months after surgery; they are not a before-and-after comparison.
Drag to compare
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, head angle, camera distance and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how the crown coverage and scalp appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.
What Needs to Be Assessed for a Crown Whorl Transplant?
The assessment covers the extent of the whorl, stability of the native hair, hair flow direction, surrounding density and donor supply at the back of the scalp. About 4 to 7 months is still an observation phase; further changes and final planning should be judged on individual growth and follow-up assessments.

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.
