There you have it, I was asked by Dr Hasson if I wanted to be shaved, I knew from my first HT(4944FU's) with him what his preference was and more importantly the better results were obtained by shaving (specifically the angle that the transplanted hair lies with the neighboring hairs). I definately was looking at the long term solution to my hair loss and deferred to the judgemant of the pros. My second HT resulted in 1960FU's all being placed in basically minimal hair areas, perhaps this is why I was offered a choice of shave/no shave. Again, if there was anything I could do to help facilitate a better HT, I was going to do it. Therefore I said to shave my head.Cheers, S-n-P

Dr. Wong,

Thank you for your response. That definitely clears things up a bit regarding your clinic's decision to shave the recipient area...and as I said...there seems to be a strong case for it's benefits, especially for larger sessions. Thanks for posting on this forum!
