Thank you for your inquiry about hair transplantation.
To provide you with an accurate assessment and estimate, please send clear pictures and videos of both your thinning or balding areas and your donor area. High-quality visuals are crucial for a precise evaluation.
Use a high-quality smartphone camera.
Take photos in a well-lit area (natural light or bright indoor light).
Avoid shadows and flash glare.
Ensure a plain background for contrast.
Ask someone to help, or use a tripod/self-timer for better angles.
Standard Photo Angles for Hair Transplant Assessment
For accurate graft estimation, ensure all areas are captured.
Essential Views:
1. Front View – Face forward, full-frontal image.
2. Front Tilted View – Head slightly down to reveal the hairline.
3. Top (Vertex) View – Taken from directly above.
4. Right Side View – Capturing temple, hairline, and sideburns.
5. Left Side View – Similar to the right for symmetry.
6. 45-Degree Angles (Right & Left) – To capture recession patterns.
7. Back View (Donor Area) – Clearly showing the donor region.
8. Close-up of Hairline & Crown – To assess density and miniaturization.
9. Donor Area Close-up – 1 cm² zoomed-in image for follicular unit count.
Technical Guidelines for Better Images
Maintain consistent framing and angles for all photos.
Use a fixed distance (1-2 feet) for standard shots and closer for detailed graft estimation.
Keep hair dry, unstyled, and clean for a true assessment of density.
Ensure no obstructions (hats, wet hair, or poor lighting).
Videos can help in evaluating scalp coverage dynamically.
A proper donor area assessment is essential to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure. Especially who has extensive hair loss, class 6-7 of Norwood, many patients arrive without a thorough evaluation and may have a poor donor area, leading to suboptimal results. This can result in wasted time, money, and disappointment due to unmet expectations.
