Despite a bad scalp laxity and a large scar (compliments of the Nobel Clinic butchers), Dr Hasson managed to get 3045 FUs, which was a good surprise to me as the original goal was 2500.

Hairworthy...

you got one of the BEST procedures I've seen yet...PERFECT hairline..great temple closure...i think you are goin to be just ecstatic in about 6 months!...it really looks good!

hairball,
Well, you will be.. All I can say is WOW!! You may come out with more hair in the front than anyone has ever had in there life. Good for you man!
Did you have to pay for the extra 500 grafts?

hey hairoworthy....must have been you I saw parading around the H&W clinic today.....I was there for a wash. Congrats. looks great. maybe i'll see you at the bar downstairs this evening

JC

Thanks guys, yes so far so good. Obviously I'll update regularly.

HairBeThere/rooster,
Yes I did, but as other guys have already posted, it doesn't really matter: the more FUs, the better as far as I was concerned today. Dr Hasson really had to work hard on my scalp, compliments of the Nobel Clinic (UK) who butchered me last year.

Hugh,
Can't remember parading in my H&W slippers, must have been Joe!
Yes why not meet, let me know when you'll be there! Right now I'm watching the NBA finals, but after that I can have lots of beers with you.... just kidding of course, Dr Hasson & Jotronic would kill me!!! Awaiting your reply, I'll be wearing the H&W cap (dark blue & light brown).

hairball,
that does concern me a bit. Although, why not, bang for the buck, but what if you had strapped yourself with the HT? What would they have done with the grafts? Or was it presented as an option before hand?

hairworthy.....heading down to meet Joe in about 15 minutes....the game is on

HBT,

Some more explanations then. During my consultation with Dr Hasson 10 days ago, he checked my scalp very carefully and, again considering my lack of laxity and my previous scar, said we should 1st aim at 2500, and hopefully get more, hopefully not less. So I paid for 2500 and Christina said that, should I get more on the day of the surgery, I would have to pay the difference, and should I get less, H&W would give me a refund. I had budgeted for 4000 before coming to Vancouver so this wasn't an issue for me.

Not sure what they do if you can't pay for your extra grafts right away but I got the feeling they were pretty flexible. If you don't want these extra grafts (this has happened!), I hear they transplant them right away on Jotronic's head... "if they can still find room", as someone previously said!!!

Hugh,
Was nice to meet you, thanks again for the drink & safe trip back tomorrow! I'm looking fwd to seeing your pics!
