Hello Bobman, Thanks for your comment. I definitely feel better with that shiny bald spot out of the way. I saw your profile... before and after. Wow, what a difference it makes! You look much younger! I feel fortunate that my first experience with a hair transplant was the best it could be. A lot of guys go through some horror stories! We have lots to be thankful for. God bless, take care. Qbert

Hey guys, I went into the office today for my eleven month checkup and as you can see from the new pictures in my album there is quite a big difference compared to this time last year. I no longer look at my bald spot because there is nothing more to look at in that it is full of hair now. It's great not to worry about it anymore. People have commented on how great my hair looks and it is a great feeling.

Hello RR Thanks for your comment. I wish you the same. Its interesting the huge number of men having the same concerns over baldness. Every time Im visiting the office, I see it to be full. Im grateful to H&W. Cheers, Qbert

Hi there, Thanks for your comment. I read your profile and totally agree that balding does affect your self esteem. Like yourself, I hated seeing myself in pictures, and in the mirror seeing that a shiny bald head was announcing itself to the whole world! It really bothered me. I also almost was about to go to Bosleys! Through the grace of God, it didnt happen. I might add its a slow process after the op, esp in the crown but better now to get it done than never! Congratulations, you made the right choice by choosing H&W. How lucky we are the best place on earth for this technology happens to be right in our back yard! Take care. Qbert

Hey guys, I just stopped by the office today to get a check up and some updated photo's 5 months after the surgery. Its filling in quite nicely and still more to come! Will check in again in about 3 months for another update. Cheers

Hi Bill, Yeah I guess I wasnt expecting the scar to be THAT noticeable....it looks weird to have this big scar on the back of my head. I will just have to be patient. Thanks for the info... Qbert

Hi Bill, Thanks for the feedback. My concern right now is the scar behind my head. I didnt realize that it would be so noticeable...I probably can never have my hair this short again without seeing this scar. I also am concerned about the density of my hair in the crown area. Im wondering the hair that grows there will be thin. I wont really know until 10 months from now...I will just have to wait. Cheers Qbert

Hi Jim, I dont have a picture just yet but yes I did find the staples in my head a little uncomfortable. The crown was really itchy and sometimes I wish I could scratch it with a wire brush! But the donor area where the staples were in was stretching the skin. My body doesnt like foreign objects in it. Laying in bed with my head rested on the pillow was uncomfortable for a few days. I had to find that perfect niche. I was relieved to get the staples OUT. I can still see the scar on the back and I really hope that the scar will disappear because its quite noticeable. Qbert

Hey Spex, Thanks for your comment. I checked out your video, weblog and HT tips. I found it informative. The video is well made and the HT tips was a good read. I also checked your hair restoration journal and see that Dr Feller does awesome work too. Thanks mate! Q

Hi Uncjim, Thanks for your e-mail and your comments. Everyone at H&W and on this site who has seen my crown post op, were impressed by it also. I am looking forward to the results in about eight to ten months. I checked out your profile. What a great difference! You actually look YOUNGER now...(it helps by shaving the goatee and keeping it thin) Beards make us look older! Even though your donor area was affected by the plug surgeries, it still looks really good. A huge difference of before and after. Cheers! Qbert

Dear Bill, Thanks again for your encouragement. Its nice to get feedback like this from someone who knows. Ive already encouraged an older gentleman today in the H&W office as I was waiting to see Dr Wong. Ive been in his shoes...and my (truthful) encouragement made him feel good. So again, thanks! I look forward to my new head of hair! It does itch like hell though! Cheers, Qbert

bump for new photos added four days post-op. Enjoy!

Dear Bill, First off, thank you for writing me and sharing your thoughts. I read your story and I must say that I was REALLY happy when you mentioned that you accepted Christ as your saviour....and then you topped it off by saying you got married to your wonderful bride too! You both look awesome. God bless you buddy! I was shocked to see the amount of money you spent for treatments...I thought I spent a lot! Then I read your profile (and others) and it made me realize just how fortunate I was. Its a bonus to have Hasson and Wong right here in my home town of Vancouver. Many people come from all over the world to see these Dr's. I was always nervous about going under the knife at first, so I tried the creams, shampoo's, lotions, miracle balms..blah-blah-blah, and then to no avail. I then tried LASER therapy with a positive mind thinking THIS was great! No knives, no surgery...but as time went, it became obvious that IT wasnt going to work either. One year later I was still looking the same but with $3500.00 less. I, like yourself, was embarrassed by this horrible bald spot and I became very conscious about it. It also affected my self esteem. All I could do was complain about it and everyday I would be reminded by it as I looked in the mirror. I HAD to change this. So I bit the bullet and made the call to H&W. I made an appointment that same week. The staff and Dr's were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I was really happy with my visit there. Its day two post op and my head is itchy! (but thats good news) Anyways, I wanted to write you back to thank you for writing me. I appreciate your comments regarding the outcome of my surgery, because I relatively am new to all of this and I dont know what the results will look like until a year from now. Comments like yours are very reassuring. God bless...see ya at "crossroads" one day...if ya know what I mean ; Qbert

Update for new photos. Hi everybody. I just went in to H&W again after four days for a checkup and these are the new photos. Everything looks good, just a little itchy..... Hello everyone, I am local here in Vancouver and I just had crown work completed with Dr Wong. In my youth, I have always had a full head of thick hair but started thinning in my early thirties. I had a bald spot that was just getting worse and I felt a little embarrased. I did not like this bald spot at all. I tried shampoos and creams etc, and laser too, but nothing worked. I finally decided to try the hair restoration and made an appointment with Dr Wong. He was very friendly and knowledgable. He was thorough and explained my options with me. I made an appointment that same week. The staff was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. After the procedure, I went home and accidently bumped my head! I returned the following day for a wash and Dr Wong assesed the damage which was minimal but fixed it. My overall experience with Hasson & Wong was excellent. I would recommend it to anyone who is concerned about their hair loss.
