How do you do it?

Anyone have any recent FUE with Hasson Wong?

Anyone have recent FUE with Hasson & Wong?

Here’s my OP

Only the donor area, like I’ve said in previous posts, it’s a very faint feeling but my scalp does feel different after the procedure. I healed quite well, maybe it’s in my head?

I agree, chasing perfection is a very OCD-like tendency, and I am guilty of that. However, I do believe that I can achieve a more dense look to match my native hair. I think the photos don’t do it justice, trust me if I shaved my head, it would be much more apparent. I might even do it soon simply due to the fact summer is around the corner. I’ll post pics if I do.

Thanks for the positive response, I’ll definitely give Nizoral a try. What’s the topical liquid that you use? Cheers

Well it’s all about self preception is it not? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that..? Yes, my native hair is quite dense, but we’re talking about hair transplant results, not the thickness of my natural hair. I do appreciate the comment though and understand that to some, these kinds of posts could be frustrating.

I’ll check out Nizoral and see a dermatologist, thanks for the tips.

I’m fortunate to have very dense hair naturally, this helps contribute to the appearance that I had a good result. Under light, it’s quite clear that the procedure wasn’t a total success. I agree that it’s not bad either, I just believe that everyone should have high expectations and strive for the best results possible.

Here are some updated pics, nothing has changed since about 5.5 - 6 months. Let me be clear, I think Dr. Nader is extremely fair, professional, and nothing short of awesome to deal with. I really wish this worked out better for me, however; I did expect a better result and am disappointed. I definitely would like a second procedure and will be looking to head to Turkey when the time does come. I still have a slight itch/irritation in my donor area, although it healed very well and there is no visible marking. I wonder why this is? It’s extremely annoying, and makes me regret not going somewhere like Hasson & Wong and having it over with in one shot. I know people will object and say “dense packing in one session is rare” but to each their own. I don’t believe anyone should have low expectations, otherwise what’s the point? This is 13 months post-op, I hope this helps anyone debating a procedure. I took dry and wet photos within an hour of each other, it does really change the way the results look.

Full refund, he offered.. I didn’t ask. I gladly obliged, and once I gave him my banking info he wired the money right away. Dr. Nader is very professional, just didn’t get the results that I should have.

Check my other thread and you’ll see the photos, looks the same at 11 months as it did at 5. Many members on here have had the same issue but most opt for a second procedure with Nader.

Yeah I have my full back, sleeves, and chest tattooed... the skin does rise once in a while still to this day on certain areas. I’m going to Asmed because I don’t feel confident going back to Nader, and the results I got were not good, no growth after 5 months, poor density, not happy. Nader is a stand up guy, and I’m very happy I got my money back; however, you can almost guarantee to expect a second transplant.

No it’s not painful, but it does feel like a slight skin irritation that feels every so slightly different than the top of my head when I run my fingers through it. I had a great post op, and I healed very quickly (see my thread for photos). I don’t know if it’s just in my head or there really is a difference, either way it’s always in the back of my head (literally and figuratively). I’ve talked to other people from Nader, none of which said they had that issue at all. I did get a full refund since my results were less than stellar and I don’t feel comfortable going back.

Ok so I don’t know if anyone else has ever had this problem, but I still feel like my donor area isn’t fully healed. My donor area feels SLIGHTLY different than the rest of my head, is this normal? The difference is so very minimal that I feel like I’m crazy for even asking. My post-op went very well, and I did not have any out of the ordinary swelling/pain during my procedure. I do however feel an ever so slight irritation, like when you take a hat off your head and it’s slightly itchy. My Doctor (Dr. Nader) told me to use a neutrogena acne face wash, and that it would take care of it. I use it once in a while, but not extremely consistently. I’m going to have a second procedure done with Dr. Erdogan later this year, but want to make sure that this issue will fully resolve itself before I do. Anyone else have this issue or can recommend a solution? Like I said, it’s nothing major, but I’m OCD and I feel like it’s something I’d like an answer to. Thanks, Ryan

Ya I hope there is new growth and a lot of thickening to come, it would definitely help. Thanks for the compliment!

No, I don’t feel as if all the grafts grew, if they did, I would have a lot thicker hair in the transplanted areas. I had a good mix of 2’s, 3’s, and single grafts, with most of the singles being at the very front of the hairline which is pretty standard procedure. I understand and thanks for the compliments in regards to my naturally dense and thick hair, however; when you get a transplant you want it to match the rest of your head. No point in getting it done only to have thin areas that look like you’re losing your hair, and not actually have gained hair. I’ll take a break but I’ll probably end up getting a second procedure somewhere else for density. Nader said that I’m not done growing and that I should expect further growth, but I”m not holding my breath. I’m content for now but we’ll see what happens in the future. At least now I’ve gone through the process and know exactly what to expect. Thanks for the feedback guys.

7.5 months post op and my hair is looking very thin. Been dealing with some stress but also have been more active. Should I try minoxidil?

Yeah it’s hard to tell how it will look when the current hairs thicken, I do think that there’s not enough density though, as most peoples results have been with Nader. Either I go back for a second one, or I go to Hasson & Wong since I live in Vancouver and used to live down the street from there. I know it’s not cheap, but if i only need 5-600 grafts I would consider it. For my type of transplant, I really only wanted to be 1 and done. I guess being able to dense pack is what separates the great surgeons from the good ones. I also think 1450 grafts wasn’t enough to being with.

Just curious if anyone has experience with derma needle rolling and minoxidil combination? Can anyone recommend this to encourage a lot of growth/thickening? I want to make sure it wont affect my results, I’m 7 Months Post Op 1500 FUE. Thanks

Keep on fighting the good fight, lol. I’m sure it will improve. Have you or anyone else had any success with minoxidil? I’ve heard it works well but your hair falls out if you stop taking it at all. Derma needle roller & minoxidil results? Anyone?

As you can tell, hoping that density increases over the next 6 months. I didn’t cut the top at all, nor the transplanted area. I simply got the sides and back buzzed a bit. Hope these pics help. Will post more in one months time.

Hi Steve, No problem on the misunderstanding, I just wanted to show how I usually style my hair. I haven’t been styling it this way post op, simply due to the fact I don’t want to stress the hair, ie blow dryers, excessive product, towel rubbing, etc. I got a haircut today and took some much better photos so you can see how I currently style it.
