Male Frontal Hair Transplant Case | Forehead Top View About 4 to 8 Months After Surgery
A man came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because his frontal hairline and the area from the forehead to the front of the crown looked thin. He hoped to improve hair coverage at the front. After surgery the case was recorded from above the forehead at about 4 months and about 8 months; use the slider below to compare the forehead and mid-scalp at these two points.
This case uses a top-down forehead view to show the hairline, the middle of the forehead and the 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, donor supply and the risk of future hair loss.
Forehead to Mid-Scalp Top View at About 4 and 8 Months
These images were taken about 4 months and about 8 months after surgery; they are not a before-and-after comparison. At about 4 months the transplanted area was still in an early growth stage; the hair was longer and pushed back by hand for the photo. At about 8 months the hair was shorter and held back with a headband. Both photos were taken by the patient, with different head tilt, camera distance, lighting and background, all of which affect how visible the hairline and scalp are. The eyes have been masked to protect the patient's privacy.
Drag to compare
This is a photo record of a single case and does not mean everyone will achieve the same result. Transplanted hair usually grows in gradually over several months to more than a year, and recovery speed varies; hair length, combing direction, head angle, camera distance and lighting were not the same at the two points, which affects how the hairline and scalp appear.
What Needs to Be Assessed for Thinning at the Forehead and Mid-Scalp?
The assessment covers the intended hairline position, how far the thinning extends from the forehead to the front of the crown, whether surrounding native hair is still thinning, and the donor supply at the back of the scalp. The months up to and beyond one year after surgery are still an observation period, and later changes or the need for additional treatment should be judged from individual growth and follow-up visits.
Want to know how hair at your own forehead 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.
