Senior Member Dewayne Posted March 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2009 I figured the other thread out, but I'd be interested to see what you guys think I will need for my crown. Would you go to one of the 'whorls' or try and fix them both? 100?

Senior Member dakota3 Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 Dewayne, Is this picture an accurate description of what the crown looks like? If so then I would say about 2,000 grafts. Are you done addressing the frontal 2/3ds? If so then I agree with spex. On a side note are you going to have Dr. Cooley take pics for comparisons of before and after this last procedure. No offense but your picture taking makes it hard to see your final results and it would be nice to see some quality pics. Good luck to you!

Senior Member Leeson Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 I concur w/ Spex. Will you be going to Dr. Cooley or a crown whorl specialist? My Hair Loss Website - Dr. Hasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 I would shoot for 3k and if your donor yields more all the better. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member mmhce Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 Will you be going to Dr. Cooley or a crown whorl specialist? Leeson, Are not all HTN recommended surgeons crown specialist capable or recreating a whirl? take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 3k for crown if your satisfied with the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Leeson Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 Capable? Yes. Specialize? No. Example: Dr. Wong v. Dr. Cooley. Especially being a double-whorl case, as I have one and know the weird pattern they have. P.S. No disrespect Dr. Cooley.

Senior Member Eman Posted March 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2009 Dewayne- As you know the crown can be a black hole. So, like others have said, make sure you address any needs in the front two-thirds as well. Personally, I would maximize the next session to thicken the front up a little and the crown. My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Dewayne, Firstly, I want you to know that I think your hair looks great one year after surgery. Thanks for going the distance and sharing your journey and photos with us. Since the crown is known as the "black hole" for grafts, know that even if you are able to get 3000 grafts for the crown, though there may be vast improvement, it will be much more difficult to achieve any real illusion of density as it will be in the front. I agree however, that 2500-3000 grafts (based on the photos I've seen), will give your crown decent coverage and some level of density. best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
