Classification and Frequency of Crown Whorl Patterns in Male Hair Transplant Patients

The study investigated crown whorl patterns in male hair transplant patients, revealing three main types: single (58%), dual (6%), and undetectable (36%). The single whorl pattern was predominantly found in the central position (90% of cases), while dual and variant patterns appeared in parietal areas. The study emphasizes the importance of preoperative scalp mapping and personalized surgery to enhance hair restoration outcomes and patient satisfaction. Understanding these patterns can lead to improved hair transplant techniques for men with androgenetic alopecia.
