This patient is a 51-year-old gentleman who desired a hair transplant to the crown area. He wanted a conservative hair transplant to the crown and right aspect of the midscalp to improve his hair density. 
Approximately 1800 grafts were placed in the crown and right part area and the 18 month postoperative results are shown. I included the preoperative photograph showing the planning for hair direction around the swirl with the corresponding postoperative photograph. 

Bald class

Bald class 3V

Norwood stage 3 Vertex

In terms of the receding hairline, stage 3 vertex balding is a less drastic version of stage 3.
However, people experiencing stage 3 vertex balding will also begin losing hair on the crown of their head. This often starts as one small bald spot.
