Forehead-to-Whorl Hair Transplant Case for a 30-Year-Old Taiwanese Man | Two-Angle Record
A 30-year-old Taiwanese man came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because of thinning from the forehead all the way to the crown whorl. He hoped for an overall plan covering his frontal outline and crown. After treatment the case was recorded from two angles; use the sliders below to compare the forehead, central scalp and whorl area.
The following shows images before treatment and later from two angles: an overhead view of the forehead and central scalp, and the crown whorl. The actual area and graft allocation still need to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on the extent of hair loss, native hair condition and donor supply at the back of the scalp.
What Can Be Seen in This Forehead-to-Whorl Case for a 30-Year-Old Man?
The front and central scalp overhead view shows the frontal hairline, both temples and native hair distribution from the forehead to the central scalp; the crown overhead view makes it easier to identify the thinning around the whorl and hair flow direction. Comparing both angles together gives a fuller understanding of this case's images than a single angle.
When the forehead and crown are thinning at the same time, the assessment also considers the size of both areas, how donor supply is divided and how native hair may change in future. You can first read the common questions about hair transplant consultations and pre-operative assessment, then have the doctor plan based on your actual scalp and donor supply.

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, camera distance, head angle and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how much scalp is visible. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.
How Is Thinning from the Forehead to the Whorl Assessed at 30?
The doctor considers the extent of thinning at the forehead and crown, native hair density, hair calibre, whorl direction, donor supply at the back of the scalp and the risk of future hair loss, then discusses the order of allocation for each area. Age alone cannot determine the treatment approach; the actual technique and possible graft count still need an in-person consultation.
Want to know how your own forehead and crown 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.
