razor

Hi Jotronic, I'm going to send you an e-mail. Its a hotmail address razor7001. Just so you know earlier today I sent Dr. Wong an e-mail with my concerns. Thanks

He's on now. I suspect he has seen it. I don't know how to flag him.

I agree it looks awful. And yes it has negatively impacted my life. I don't date, I don't go out besides work and the gym. So yes it sucks. I just sent Dr. Wong an email with my concerns. I'll keep you guys posted. As for Jotronic I suspect he's avoiding me.

I think I'm passed the point of no return with hair transplants. I would love to be able to shave my head but I can't b/c of the scar.

Taking a trip back there would be nice. Have you seen what the air fares are from DC to Vancouver? Around $800. Ouch I honestly don't remember having a definite plan but you can't tell me that my result is acceptable on any level. And no, I don't think my transplant looks natural. Do you think it does based on the pics lI send, I suspect no as well. And as for what I want to do next? I have no idea. What if he offers another transplant, I have it and the then that one doesn't work out either?

But the problem is that everytime I send him photos he just replies "oh it's coming in nicely will thicken up". This concerns me but I still believe Dr. Wong is an ethical man and will correct this. I hope I'm right.

orlhair thats actually the best advice ive had since I started this blog. It seems others on here are quick to blame for me for my poor results. But the truth of the matter is it is only Dr. Wong and I that can come to some kind of consensus. After I sent the last pics to Dr. Wong he asked that I wait until I reached the 14 month mark before I send him more. He felt it would thicken more by then. Should I wait until then to contact him? I don't see this improving in the next month and half. Mars the scar is ok, thank God

NewHair, maybe he put in 4200 but based on my results I don't think I got anywhere near that. What grows is what counts. I'm surprised to hear you think that's what I got. I don't see how you or anyone besides myself or the Dr. can judge that from viewing a few photos. Anyway, thanks for all your input. My plan is to go to him now and express my dissatisfaction. I'm surprised Jotronic didn't comment. He was on last night and always usually commented on my blogs earlier on. Very strange.......

I also think that I received a very uneven result. The center of my head is thinner than the sides on top of my head. This just doesn't look right.......

Aaron you're misreading. I never said this was a final result. All Im saying is that I don't think the result is adequate based on number of graphs I received. I don't think I got 4200, maybe 2500 tops. I don't know what happened and only Dr. Wong can probably answer this. I told him I wanted to look good and younger. I wanted to be able to comb my hair. Do you think any reputable Dr. would want his patient to turn out like this? Come on, the man has down probably hundreds if not thousands of these. He knows what looks good. gimme a break. The fact that Dr. Wong has kept saying all these months that "keep waiting and it will thicken" leads me to believe he is not satisfied with my result either. At this point I would really like to get more comments from different people.

I never had a plan to be honest. I just thought because he was so respected and always gave good results, I didn't need one. But I think my results are bad. Im so embarrassed of it.

yes the one at the top of this thread, with the blue background is my pre opt pic at dr wong's office

unfortunately hairthere i don't have any immediate post opt these are at 7 days This is my original hair blog http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1882

I see a guarantee is that all patients obtain some kind of adequate result. It doesn't have to be stellar or excellent just adequate. If the result is not adequate then the Dr. will make good on it.

This is a pic from one of Dr. Hasson patients. Almost my exact situation, his turned out, mine didn't I believe mine should of turned out close to this. Hair Transplant Photos Hair Transplant Gallery - Hasson & Wong. Sessions: 1. Grafts: 4371

They're website says that the results are guaranteed. Does anyone know what that means? Some money back or just another procedure?

Yes I've been sending him shots monthly. He keeps saying that it will thicken up. He's been saying this for months now.

Ok I just took some additional pics. I think you will all see that this didn't turn out. I don't know why this happened. I did everything Dr. Wong suggested. Ive been taking a liquid vitamin, reduced my stress, eating a balanced healthy diet, exercising, taking propecia. Compare my pre opt pics located in my first comment to these. Again, I cannot grow it out because I don't have the density to support a longer hairstyle. And for your information Aaron 1234 this is my second procedure. My first procedure was back in 1998 for 600 graphs. In addition, I don't plan on running out and spending another $15000 until I determine whether I received adequate results from this one. I don't believe I did. The question is what should I do now????

Well here are my one year photos with Dr. Wong. I had surgery on 11/15/2010. I am also attaching my pre opt picture taken at his office. I would appreciate any feedback. Honestly, I don't think it turned out at all. I had 4200 graphs. I don't think thats what took hold. The density is lacking. I've tried to grow it long but I don't have the density to support any decent hairstyle.

I have completely run out of proscar. Dr. Wong cannot prescribe me any because I live in the states. Any suggestions? I could order it off the internet, but is that safe? Thanks

i admit there is some new growth. i hope this is the beginning.......

you can wear a hat to work? Like I've said in other posts, wearing a hat to work only magnifies the problem. People are going to wonder why is this guy wearing a hat? gee maybe he had a lobotomy. people aren't that naive man. :cool: Do you work in a fast food restaurant?

The redness in my recipient area went down quickly. As advised by Dr. Wong to ensure proper healing, I took and am still taking a liquid vitamin B complex vitamin. I would say after the 7th day, I had no more redness in the recipient area however it's a different story for the donor area. It's still red! Not paintful just pinky red. I did go to work one week after surgery and w/o a hat. It was the week of Thanksgiving so thankfully (no pun intended) the office was deserted.

Jo, I hope you're right, but I am skeptical. In 1998 I had about 500 graphs and they grew in rapidly, I would say within 3 months. I just hope what little has grown in is not the final result, but it seems that way. As for toppik, I use just a tiny amount, just to thicken what little I have. A 30 day supply usually lasts me 6-8 months. I'll post another photo in 2-3 weeks.

well here I am at about 3 months. I am thinner than I was before surgery, so I don't know what's going on. I know it's still early, but I'm hoping I will turn the corner soon. :confused: I've noticed that some people already show some descent growth at 3 months. I must not be one of those.
