Taking the cowlick into consideration when taking out the donor strip

[azn_guy]

So,

 

If you take a look at the NW Scale, the photo assumes the Cowlick (swirl) is in the center of the head where the crown is.

 

How does the HT surgeon take into account the removal of the donor strip if the Swirl is to the left of to the right of the head?

 

Take a look at the attached photo. Notice the Swirl is to the right of my head, and you can see where the donor strip was taken.

 

Now assuming that the crown starts to thin out, was the location of the donor strip ideal in this scenario?

 

If you just imagine my crown thinning, you'll notice that it'll get close to where the donor scar is currently located on the right side of my head

 

the left side, the donor strip is safe from crown thinning.

 

I think this makes sense, let me know if I need to clarify

 

How does a Doctor take this into account?

While I can't see your entire head, it would appear that the strip would be significantly below the swirl that you have. It is not an issue in most patients as there is a good bit of scalp between the strip and swirl.
