Senior Member hairbank Posted March 27, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 Search threads here for crown work and I believe one surgeon's name will pop up more than others...............Dr. Wong with Hasson and Wong in Vancouver, BC. Now, I'm biased, since I primarily focused on the crown for my 2nd HT and Dr. Wong did the work. View my attached Hair Loss Weblog for before and after pics. I haven't had noticeable regrowth yet, but it will give you an idea of his attention to the crown pattern and placement.

Regular Member Rashomon Posted August 16, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2006 How are doctors Rose, Shapiro, and Cooley with crowns? I want to find someone who can do a natural-looking swirl. I know they come highly-recommended, but I could not find any pictures of crowns on their web sites. I only found one crown pic on Dr. Wong's web site. Why is that? Are crown HTs that rare??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted August 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2006 I thought there was more than one on our site. Here are a few by both docs and of varying degrees of reconstruction.

Senior Member JakeVig Posted August 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Rashomon, Crown work is rare because it is not the most efficient place to put grafts as you would get a better cosmetic appearance if you place most of the grafts in your hairline and midscalp area. Its only if you have enough donor hair would they recommend placement in the crown. Having said that all the docs you mentioned have done 1000's of HT's they would definately have also done a lot of crown work. I know that SMG have more pics than whats on their website and this forum, if you ask Matt Zupan from SMG he might be able to provide you some before and afters. 1344 grafts with Ron Shapiro - June 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Don't most docs focus more on the frame of the face first? I guess since that is what most people see that would be priority for the limited donor supply. At least until the hair cloning/multiplying stuff is perfected.

Regular Member Rashomon Posted August 16, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks for the feedback, guys. Most of my hair loss is in the crown, though. Everything else looks good (in my opinion). I might be receeding just a bit on the sides, but nothing major. (I'm 37, if that helps.) It's just this big Friar Tuck bald spot that bugs me. I'm going to try to attach pics. This is my first attempt, so I don't know if it will work or not. If it doesn't, then my hair is similar to the first pic on row 5.

Senior Member Janna Posted August 17, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2006 Rashomon, I will post some crown work photos for you tomorrow when I get into the office. Dr Shapiro has done countless crown work. It is more rare to just do crown. I'll also try to work on our website to provide more crown work results. I think the doctors mentioned so far in your posting all do great crown work.

Senior Member troy Posted August 17, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2006 Janna, I am a big fan of Shapiro and will be in soon to see Matt for a 10 month follow up, but I have to admit you need to update your site and have better pictures. Your site does not reflect how great your clinics work is. My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member worried Posted August 17, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2006 How come in these before and after photos of crown work, most peoples hair color changes? Also Rashomon I'm with you ,my crown bothers me more than anything else. Why is the crown harder to fill than other areas? Thanks in advance. scott View My Hair Loss Weblog Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted August 17, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2006 Troy, I totally agree with you. I mentioned our webpage and the deficiency of pictures to Dr. Shapiro this morning, he said our webpage is getting updated shortly. Make sure you stop by to say hi to me. I saw your pictures the other day. The real short hair cut is a great look for you.

Senior Member JakeVig Posted August 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2006 I agree, Dr Alexander that is some fine crown work you have on display there. It doesn't get any better than that, keep up the good work! 1344 grafts with Ron Shapiro - June 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted August 22, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm sorry I haven't had time to post the crown pictures. I've been very busy in surgery. Here are some before and after pics of the crown. It's hard to make the crown really dense when you need the precious grafts for the front or top. Dr. Shapiro will only be aggressive with the crown if a patient is not in danger of losing hair elsewhere on the head.
