    Why did you dye it darker? My hair is naturally dark but I wish I had brown or blond hair so it would look thicker because there would be less contrast between the hair and my scalp which is white. That was one of the challenges getting a HT with full density.

    Second surgery: 9 months results. Photos taken today

    I disagree. If she has white scalp, coloring the hair will make it look even thinner because it would show the contrast between dark hair and white scalp,

    I'm visiting the clinic in few days to take photos. I will ask Doug to post the photos here. The photos taken by clinic might be more accurate.

    Before pictures: 6 months after 1 st surgery with Dr Wong. July 2016

    Wrong. The area below the scar is already thin

    Actually it might be your native hair In male pattern balding, hair follicles actually shrink; they don't disappear. The hairs are essentially microscopic on the bald part of the scalp compared to other spots. Going Bald? Hair Follicles Are Still There, Just Shrinking - Medical News Today

    You need to flip over in the middle of procedure, Because you have to lay on your stomach during donor extraction and crown work (not the most confortable position).

    Why did you need that ? I had my wisdom teeth extracted under local anesthesia. It.took only 5 mns and all you feel is just the pressure of the dentist tools. Also you will feel more pain after waking up ( dizziness) than just being patient during those 5 mns.

    The temple peaks are the triangles pointing to your eyebrows. Someone with receded temple peaks like me will have a straight line. It didn't bother me much as I needed more grafts to add more density to the crown.
  12. BaldPatient2
    Dr Wong told me he wouldn't do the temple corners without the temporal peaks ( triangles). He said I will look funny having temple corners filled up but without temporal peaks (straight line).

    I paid a lot of money to a local doctor for my first surgery here in Canada almost the same as what top clinics charge and got very poor results. I would have saved money by traveling to third world country and probably got better results

    During my surgery, I heard the doctor giving directions to technicians "put singles here" , "put larger grafts in mid-scalp". So the doctor is also responsible of supervising the technicians work
  15. BaldPatient2
    I asked a techinician this question when she was implanting the grafts and she told me that directions/angle are determined by the incisions that the doctor makes. So this is not the job of technicians

    Mega sessions can take 10-12 hours

    According to Dr Bernstein Grafts are solid after 10 days and plucking hairs won't dislodge grafts. If there was no bleeding, nothing to worry about.

    If you're too careful not to rub the recipient area, that means you're not cleaning it well. After 10 days , you should be more agressive in the shower rubbing the recipient area using your fingers pads with Shampoo to remove the crusts. If you leave the crust and dead skin , it might slow down the growth.

    I think the most common scenario of failed HT is the lack of density. There are fewer cases of wrong direction of transplanted hairs and pluggy look, but the main complaint is related to density issue. What causes the lack of density ?
  20. BaldPatient2
    I'm not a doctor but to my knowledge the follicles live underneath the skin, so they don't need to breath air. All they need is the blood flow underneath the scalp. what they grow above the skin ( the hair) is dead.
  21. BaldPatient2
    I don't think so , it will drop the prices of hair transplant surgeries because it takes less time than FUT/FUE

    I was left with a big scar with the other doctor, but Dr Wong repaired the scar by removing scar tissue from previous surgery. Now I have a smaller scar. I'm just wondering if it's common to have a density contrast between the areas above and below the scar as you can see in the photo.
  23. BaldPatient2
    But why is it thicker just above the scar, only below the scar the whole area is thinner? I had 9000+ grafts in multiple surgeries. I think it was like that also before my last surgery. Only when they shaved my donor area two weeks ago I realized this contrast in density below and above the scar. Why I'm having two distinct zones of density ?
  24. BaldPatient2
    Ok this is a picture of the scar taken today 12 days after my second surgery with Dr Wong, just after I removed the staples. My head was shaved before surgery As you can see there's a density contrast between the areas below and above the scar. Is it expected?
  25. BaldPatient2
    Same happened to me but didn't want to ask for too much anesthesia, I was afraid it would cause a lot of swelling after surgery
