Graft selection for FUE on crown

[JoeD]

Do surgeons preferentially take multi hair, coarser, grafts when doing FUE on crown as opposed to hairline work? Is there much use for the fine singles like a hair line work on the crown?

 

I ask this as someone who has had a very successful FUT with solid coverage of hairline and mid scalp, as well as excellent healing of the scar with no scar visibility with a 3 guard over the scar and low fade below it.  I would really have zero problem getting another FUT for my crown, but was wondering if the finer singles and doubles obtained from the mix of hairs via strip are unnecessary and preferentially taking perhaps even a smaller number of coarse multi hair grafts via FUE would be a good plan? Overall, possibly less grafts needed to be harvested in the scenario with fue to get good coverage of the crown.

Crown high density effect is always more challenging than the frontal area, hence it's better to have triples and quads, than single grafts.

You can achive density with thin single grafts but you'll need a lot according to the width and length measurements of the crown with realistic expectations, depending also on your type of hair.

Thank you. During an FUE, is a doctor able to specifically harvest only triples and quads?

That crown area is so hard to cover.  I'm sure surgeons try to find creative ways to thicken the appearance in the crown area.  Some may harvest more course hair from other parts of the body.  I'm sure others may have experience to share on this procedure.
