"Crown HT needs less skill" - is this true?

[Yan bio]

A friend told me he thinks HT @ crown area requires much less skill then mid scalp and specifically hairline. 

Do you agree/partialy agree?

[Doron Harati]

Totally disagree, a certified and highly skilled surgeon will need to create accurate circulate shape pattern to give the best coverage illusion, many amateur jobs consist with random undefined pattern that won't give the correct illusion effect, crowns also need much triple and double grafts for high density, many hair mills and poor doctors don't save those grafts for crown procedure, buttom line there's no easy jobs, never compromise when it comes to cosmetic surgeries.

[WhereIsMyMind]

Actually if we are talking like top top tier situation difficult cases I would argue crown is the hardest one to master.

For the average surgeon, it will be a blackhole of grafts and never reach ideal density. Only a very slight select few can make perfect angling and good use of those grafts for a visual impact that is worth it.

If we are talking in "general terms", yeah, hairline/temples is a much more detailed work than crown because of softening requirement with single hairs.

I would say it requires more skill for it to grow. The crown doesn’t grow as well as the hairline. 

[HappyMan2021]

there are recent cases here of people getting botched on the crown. 

Badly angled or otherwise incorrect crown grafts can totally still be visible to others. 

The hair caliber and texture still matters just as much as on the hairline too. 

If the doctor chooses poor hair caliber and/or the hair doesn't match the surrounding crown hair, then yea that will be an issue too.

Your friend is totally false

[NARMAK]

The crown if completely gone needs much more skill and you need somebody who absolutely knows how to make the most of each graft for coverage. 

The temple points imo are probably on par with the crown in terms of complexity even if you can get away with using less grafts there than the crown for coverage due to the spiral shape of the crown. 

Anybody that thinks it requires less skill doesn't have a clue and is very much the type to end up at hair mills and not know what a natural hairline requires. 

[Pbaird98]

A lot of skill needed if you’re wanting to recreate the crown whorl pattern, get it wrong or do a poor job then it’s going to be very noticeable. I would say You’re friend is wrong..

 

[WhereIsMyMind]

Angling on the crown is the least forgiving by far. Scalp see through is brutal diminishing return compared to frontal region, where some "thinning" or "see through" is actually "natural look". 

There is no "natural" thinning crown. If you see skin, it will look bad.

I agree with this (unfortunately). Yet another reason why the crown is such a blackhole for grafts. The crown needs to be fully filled to pass the illusion test. 

[WhereIsMyMind]

Yeah im so scared of wasting my last precious last grafts on mine for this reason 😁... risky business.

I will be perfectly honest. I don't know and probably something you could ask her about in terms of her experience with it if you wanted to.

I hate the swirl….why why why….i I MEAN WHYYYY??? JUst straight slick back is easy for the surgeon and easy to cover up the entire crown even with smal ammount if hair…PLZZZZ for all the people who are looking for crown hair transplant hear me out…hust straight slick back is good…plz correct me if i am wrong…i can show you pictures with phenomenal result with slick back option rather than the stupid swirl to look natural.

[WhereIsMyMind]

Yeah and when you have short hair you literally look like another species. A crown without a swirl is not an human. Impossible to look natural unless you want to always have long hair your whole life no natter what circumstances
