Amazing work! Actually from day 1 and the placement Hasson did it was sure the result would be stunning. 

What was the cost, sorry if I missed it. 

As mentioned by another poster the cost is on their website. FUE: First 2000 grafts: $8 / graft and each graft over 2000 grafts in the same surgical session: $6 / graft

10 month update. First professional haircut in over a year. Can slightly see the scars on the sides/back but I'm overall satisfied

Looking very good! What grade did you cut the sides?

I used a No. 4 guide

Sorry didn't post a 6 month update but better late than never. Here is my hair at about almost 7 months now. Still trying to get the hang of shaving my own hair so the back and sides are still sloppy (can't wait for this lockdown to end so I can get a real hair cut).

Here is the 5 month update. Right side seems to be slower than left side in filling in. Hoping it fills in the coming months!

Looks like some reAlly good early growth. Do you feel a lot of new hairs have sprout?

New hair have definitely sprouted but doesn't feel like all of them has yet. 

Here is the 4 month update. Decided not to shave the sides this month. Looks like some growth starting, excited for the coming months hopefully they thicken up!

Here's my right side

And here's my left side

Looking good for 3 months. In the coming weeks hopefully the growth should really kick in. Looks like you have some growth or is that your natives just growing longer?

Honestly it's hard to tell myself but I think it's a mix of both

Here is the 3 month update. Hoping I get some nice growth the coming months

8 week update. Was shedding from week 3-6. Now I'm full on in the ugly duckling phase. Been keeping my sides/back shorter.

Very clean procedure, it looks like it's going to be a home run (fingers crossed).

Out of curiosity, did they measure how much density you originally had in your donor area and/or estimated how many extractable grafts you had in the bank?

I don't believe they did. If they did then I wasn't aware/informed.

when exactly was your procedure again?

Oct 20 and 21

Here's the 4 week/1 month update. A lot of shedding the past 2 weeks and still continuing to shed right now.

Did he tell you how many hairs you have left in your donor? in the case that more hair loss occurs? 

The work looks very clean and it is normal to have flakiness at your point

Nothing was mentioned of my donor from Dr. Hasson. But I did do a consult with Dr. Rahal's consultant earlier this year and the consultant measured my donor capacity and said it was above average around 8500.

I am sure 4000 is better but what about the future loss, do you not anticipate much further loss?

He did say my crown looked good but did show some signs of some miniaturization. Which a big part of the consult was discussing the importance of getting on finasteride to prevent further hair loss. I opted to start with topical finasteride. But the consultant did say it would take about 3 months for me to get the topical.

Your hairloss wasn't that extensive, why 4000 grafts and all of it in the frontal third, it seems a little too much too soon? Looks great and dense fwiw!

Originally after a consult with one of their consultants it was estimated for 3000 grafts. When Dr. Hasson saw me for the pre op consult, he said what I had left of my hairline was basically whiskers and suggested 4000 grafts to restore it with good density. He did however, say he could do 3000 grafts as well and drew the hairlines for both 3000 and 4000. I ultimately decided that the 4000 looked a lot better than the 3000.

It’s quite usual to have some flakes after a Ht. if it persists though you may need something like Nizarol  or another medicated shampoo.

Thanks for the response, and good to know. My regular shampoo does contain ketoconazole but I've just been using the shampoo provided by the clinic so far.

Looks awesome 😎 as we have come to expect from Dr Hasson! No doubts your going to have a amazing result. 

Thanks, I really hope so!

These are from today which is 12 days post op: is it normal to have flaky/peeling skin even after the scabs have come off? Final pic is after a shower I'm still getting a lot of the white damp skin. 

This is 1 week post op:

This is right after procedure and the back is 1 day post op

I recently did a 2 day 4,000 graft FUE with Dr. Hasson
will try to update as time goes
