Home·Procedures·Crown Hair Transplant

The crown, done properly.

The vertex is the hardest area in hair restoration — a spiral where the angle changes every few millimetres, unforgiving of rushed work. It is exactly the kind of surgery our one-patient-a-day model exists for.

Why crowns are different

A spiral, not a line — and the spiral forgives nothing.

Hair at the crown grows in a whorl: every follicle leaves the scalp at its own angle, rotating around a centre. Place grafts at the wrong pitch and the result reads as flat, brushed, transplanted — even when the graft count was generous.

This is why crowns expose volume clinics. Whorl work cannot be delegated to the fastest pair of hands in the room; it has to be designed and placed by someone who will answer for it a year later.

  • Angles rotate through 360° around the whorl centre
  • The crown consumes grafts faster than any other zone
  • Placed by your surgeon personally — never delegated

How we plan a crown

Budgeted first. Placed follicle by follicle.

1Map the whorl — KE-Bot robotic scalp mapping charts the spiral before anything is planned
2Set the donor budget — your donor area has to last a lifetime; the crown never gets to exhaust it
3Place at the whorl's pitch — each graft angled to the rotation, by your surgeon's own hand
4Review through the year — four surgeon reviews inside the £2,000 aftercare programme

Sometimes the honest answer is that a crown isn't ready for surgery yet — you'll hear that too.

What to expect

A crown rewards patience.

Crown results mature more slowly than hairlines — most patients see the picture come together between twelve and eighteen months. We plan for that honestly at consultation, and we review you at every stage of it.

Crown questions

Asked before every crown case.

How many grafts does a crown need?
More than most people expect — the whorl's geometry swallows density. The honest number depends on your loss pattern, your donor supply and what should be kept in reserve for the future; your surgeon sets it with you at consultation, mapped rather than guessed.
Is my crown ready for a transplant at all?
Not always. A crown that is still actively thinning can be the wrong place to spend donor hair this year. If waiting is the better medicine, that is the advice you'll get — there is no sales team here to say otherwise.
Why do crown results take longer?
The crown sits at the natural end of the growth cycle's visible curve, and the spiral needs more hair before it reads as full. Twelve to eighteen months is the realistic window — your reviews are scheduled across all of it.
Can you do my hairline and crown on the same day?
Sometimes — it depends on the graft budget and what your donor area can responsibly give. Because your surgeon takes one patient a day, the theatre day is yours either way; the plan is built around your case, not a schedule.
