Finally I had my surgery on Friday(day before yesterday) by mastero - DR. VICTOR HASSON. Thursday evening I met Dr.Hasson and Joe, and they spent more than an hour with me to discuss about my questions and procedure.
Surgery started at 7.30 am on Friday. I asked doctor to buzz my head all the way. I requested Dr.Hasson to go for as much less scar as possible and he had done really great work with the scar. I am very much pleased with my scar.
As a typical patient I was worried about the scar, but Dr.Hasson did a very good job. My brother accompanied with me. Doctor explained us each and every step in very detail. I have never seen a doctor, who has this much of patience and who engages patients with his process/steps and humor. After removal of strip, doctor gave us a small break. Doctor and his staff started cutting grafts. After break, doctor started making incisions on my scalp. He made first 2500 incisions(he made me count with his counting device).
Had a nice lunch break, after that his staff started grafting grafts. Staff was very co-operative, they had been offering me fruit juices, movies to watch. Around 2 or 2.30 pm doctor made 2000 incisions. He also grafted few grafts and then his staff took over. I had few breaks in this process. Around 4pm Dr.Hasson made his last 1000 incisions.
So the total is 5400 grafts. I was scheduled for 4000 grafts and doctor gave me 5400 grafts. He gave me full coverage till my crown. That was really mind blowing, I am really so thankful to Dr.Hasson.
Dr.Hasson really wants to give the maximum coverage to his patients. I got 1400 extra grafts with out any extra charge. It is very kind of Dr.Hasson.
I had a dinner a break around 7pm. And my surgery was finished at 9pm.
I think I have been on this network for 4 or 5 years, and have been waiting to pick a right doctor. I always knew that if I pick a right doctor, my HT journey would have a great ending. My dream has come true. Now is the tough part, waiting... but I think I can handle this part too because I not only gained grafts but enormous confidence from Dr.Hasson and his staff support.
You can see my pictures, and can see his incredible work. Kudos to Dr.Hasson and his staff.
Last but not least, Thanks for all your support - "HAIR TRANSPLANT NETWORK"
