Long-time creeper, first-time poster. I had two prior HTs scheduled with local doctors but backed out weeks before. So glad I did because given my hair loss pattern (NW6), I needed to put myself in the best position for a quality, long-term result which consensus seems to point to H&W (large FUT for high NW). This forum saved me from not going with an elite surgeon. It's only fair I pay it forward.
I've been on propecia for 5 years now. Directly from the front, you really couldn't tell I had any hairloss. It's primarily focused on the crown. 3,700 grafts were placed in the crown, sized around ~85 cm2 for a density around ~43/cm2 . I was told I have slightly above average texture and hair diameter. While I have coverage in the mid-scalp and front, it's miniaturized all over. I'd like to tackle the remainder in the future. I was told I have 4,000 grafts remaining via FUT alone. Nothing new to add about the procedure that hasn't been said in the past. Dr. Hasson's results should speak for themselves. After scouring the internet for two years, it's clear he's arguably the best surgeon when it comes to FUT for high NW patients. I feel I put myself in the best position for a successful result. Time will tell.

Thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
