Reading something like this makes me realize how adversely hair loss affects ALL men who go through it. Sometimes I forget this, because friends & family members (who aren't going through it themselves) don't realize how significant it is to me personally. Those who aren't suffering from it really have no idea how much it bothers those of us who are. It's heart warming to hear your candidness; it sounds as though you already felt liberated the day of surgery, as did I. I truly wish you the best results, and you chose one of the worlds finest surgeons.

Congrats.
Thanks Ron!


I am going to have my wife bring her camera so we can get the expression on my family's face.
LOL!


Did you do anything special to aid in your recovery after your transplant?

You had your HT exactly one week after I did, so I'll be interested in seeing how you progress along the same timeline! Happy growing.
Thanks Mane!

I tried to check out your webblog, but it wouldn't work. Have they not fixed that feature?

Happy growing to you as well bud!

Your family will be super surprised when you take the hat off.

Dr Wong is an ethical surgeon and would never try to get that many grafts packed into the front third. He would want to save grafts for possible future hairloss.


I have never seen an unnatural looking hairline done by Dr Wong.

So you can't go wrong with Wong. LOL!

Some might see this as mega-session. Given the excellent coverage, I think we could safely call it a giga-session!

Congratulations Drew on a big decision and choosing a top doc. Heal well and enjoy your vacation. I really look forward to seeing you transform over the coming months.

Congratulations Drew35! This should set the stage for a terrific transformation. What really impresses me is the overall hairline and temple design. This really should look very good when it has all grown in.

Thanks Acrobaz!

Dr Feller does great work also! I wanted to check out your Weblog, but I can't get mine or anyone elses to open up.

Is there something wrong with the Weblogs?

Thanks M&M! I appreciate that.

I specifically asked Dr Wong to do the temples and lower the hairline slightly in the first session.

Dr Wong is willing to listen to patients if they have educated themselves and have realistic expectations.

I was willing to have a thin or bald crown in order to have a lower hairline and temple work done in the first session.

I can't wait to show my family next year.

I have worn a hat everyday for the last 11 years and I didn't tell them I was having this done.

I am going to show up at a family event, without my hat, and just surprise them all.

Drew, I can see you becoming another bobman. Will definitely follow your progress. Happy growing ... my gut feeling is that your results are going to be exemplary.
