Whorl direction, area size and donor reserves at the crown.
Whorl direction
Crown hairs usually form a whorl. Incorrect direction planning may produce an artificial appearance even with enough grafts.
Donor reserves and priorities
Large crown areas may require many grafts. How donor reserves are divided between the hairline, midscalp and crown varies by patient.
When are results visible?

A common question
Is this information sufficient for an individual treatment decision? No. The appropriate method, graft count and risks require individual examination.
