Asian Player

Hi Redkun9, Thanks for the positive feed back To answer your question with the scar, Family have told me that it's not that visible. Also note: that the scar is still in it's healing stage. I can shave the sides down to a number 3 "No Problemo" . I'll post some new pic's soon. From the info I gathered I'd also have to agree that a higher percentage of Asian hair does come in single & double follicular units. All though there could be the odd Asian that has more hairs per a graft? Asian Player

Hi Bosco/Ray, I know where your coming from. I too live in Australia & almost got a HT here. Researched the Dr's here & read the good an bad stories. Personally I didn't want to take the risk so in the end I chose Dr Jerry Wong (H&W) in Vancouver. you can read my story here: http://hair-restoration-info.c...=188103041#188103041 In this game the best thing you want to do is take your time & do your research. It's in your best interest. Hope this helps Asian Player

Hey Eman, I think I remember looking at your HT pic's ages ago. Your results look awesome mate . Good stuff, Asian Player

Hi Guys, Thanks for the comments . If it wasn't for this site I don't think I would have made that next step. Wantego, Just checked your weblog & your 7 month results are looking fantastic. I see you got allot of triple grafts that's a good thing mate. Being partly Asian my grafts mainly came in ones & two's, number results are as bellow. Turning 30 this year, so I think I did the HT at a decent enough age. Cheers

Hey Wantego, It's been a month since i had My HT & my scar is still red. Cant wait till its gone

Hey People You can check more pics here: http://hair-restoration-info.c...0103041&f=2566060861 In the near future I will also be posting some pic's of me Dr Wong,Joe & Doug P.S: Doug does great HT hair cuts! So make sure you holla at the dude a few days after your HT with Dr Wong. Cheers

Hi Fellow Hair Loss Sufferers, On Thursday January 15/01/2009 I received my first HT session with Dr Wong in Vancouver. Now before I get into the details, I'd like to mention that I have been doing my homework on HT's for at least two years, and you know what? I am glad that I did. At least 1 year before making my decision to visit Dr Wong I had considered a HT in Australia. I was confirmed that at least a total of 3700 graphs could be extracted or possibly more. I chose Hassan & Wong in the end, which meant a trip over to Canada. I had researched extensively & these guys continuously came up as being the very best. Undergoing a HT was a huge decision and I wanted to be really sure I was giving it my very best shot. MY EXPERIENCE OF HASSON & WONG After a tiring flight from Australia, I finally arrived at Vancouver airport on January the 14th 2009. I was excited but at the same time nervous, all I could think about was, 'Am I really going through with this'? After a few hours of rest, I caught a cab to the Hasson & Wong Clinic for a consultation with Dr Wong prior to the procedure which was scheduled for the next day. As I entered the clinic I was kindly greeted by Christina who had been assisting me the whole time by email whilst I was in Australia. I also got to finally meet the man JOE. Joe was great the whole time I stayed in Vancouver. After reading so much about Joe, and his testimony, I have to say that his HT looked great, and this, along with his confidence and friendly manner, really reassured me. After a good long chat with JOE I met the famous Dr Wong with a firm handshake. I had zillion questions for Dr Wong, and he answered them all with ease and confidence. After examining my hair he said my laxity was very good. This I knew, but I was just a little worried as my hair type, classified as Asian, would come in ones & two's possibly making my HT harvest less effective. I remember asking Dr Wong, 'What if my hair is too ..'? He just looked at me and said not to worry as I was in the best hands possible. I have to say that the good Dr was friendly and reassuringly confident and this relaxed me greatly and helped me feel that I was indeed in the right place. The next day I woke up at 4.00 AM in the morning, and after a light breakfast headed straight down to the H&W clinic for my 6.00AM appointment. After meeting some more staff & changing into a gown, Dr Wong took some photos of my head behind that famous blue wall you can see on YouTube, he then slightly etched in my new hair line, looked at me and said, 'This is will suit you fine.' I then asked if he could slightly add more to my temples, sure enough he did. I was then ushered into a room where the HT procedures were performed. I was of course nervous but soon calmed by Dr Wong's funny humour and confidence. After the amount of research I had done, I knew that some numbing injections were to come. Dr Wong said that this needle would feel like the sensation of tattoo needle. It slightly stung but in all honestly wasn't that bad. The most nervous part of the procedure was just thinking about the strip being cut from the back of my head. I couldn't even tell Dr Wong was cutting the strip, that's how good the drugs must have been and how confident the Doctor is. I think my blood pressure went up a little bit but that was soon stopped by another injection Dr Wong gave me. The procedure was painless. After the strip was removed, Dr Wong then stapled my scalp. Watching Dr Wong's team of assistants, (The Girls) cut my strip into little graphs was amazing, these girls work super hard! I don't think I'll ever forget them for their skill and expertise, some of them were cute too. Dr Wong was smooth with his work flow + the girls were fun to chat too! Dr Wong inserted the tiny slits where the graphs were to be placed. I was given some sleeping pills, and this combined with jet lag made me sleep through most of the procedure. Lunch was served at 12.00 and I got the occasional visit from JOE! That bloke was a laugh, and I was able to take heaps of snap shots with the whole team. Oh and if you get bored, these guys have got a ton of good movies you can watch for the duration of the operation. The most tedious part of the procedure was when it just dragged on & on, I thought that it would never stop! When graphs were being placed I would get the occasional sting, but this was stopped by more numbing injections which worked great! The procedure ended up finishing at 8:30 PM. Staff were tired, they had worked like Trojans, and yep I was zoned out (BIG DAY). I must say it was a smooth ride the whole way with no major bumps and little pain. Then most surprisingly Dr Wong informed me he had got a whopping total of 5083 graphs. I was truly shocked but delighted. I had thought I'd be lucky if I even got 4000 graphs! I was even more stunned when he said he could have got more graphs. Dr Wong's skills are amazing, as are the skills of the whole team. The whole day had lasted over 14 hours. I am glad I flew all the way to Canada to undergo treatment by the best. I have still heaps of laxity left too. The 3rd day after the procedure was crazy, my head started itching. I wanted to scratch and rub it but was not allowed to. All I could do was to put up with it and do something to keep my mind busy. I knew the itching meant the area was already recovering. Also on day four, as Dr Wong had said it would, my face puffed up. I found this a bit worrying and not at all pleasant, but it did only last two days! I recommend that any one travelling to H&W for a HT should stay for at least five days after surgery or more, that way you get to check out this awesome city and relax for a little longer. I only stayed five days, after flying all the way from Australia and in hind sight, I would have liked to have stayed longer. I am now back in Australia and nobody knows I even had a HT besides my family, whom are totally amazed by the sheer craftsmanship of Dr Wong & his team. I am going to let my new hair grow out. I have shaved the sides down to a number 3 and nobody can see the scar! I am also very pleased with the new hairline Dr Wong gave me. Thanks Mate! It's about 28 days after the procedure and yep, just like I have been told, my hair is starting to fall out, only a little so far. I can even see the bulbs on the end of some hairs. Joe warned that this is the most worrying time for a HT patient. But again, I was made aware of this happening and am ready. I do wonder what my hair is going to look like in 5 months. I am nervous, but grateful I have finally taken the plunge and done what I have done. The best thing is that nobody has any idea about it at all. One more thing I'd like to mention. I got a chance to meet (DOUG), you know the guy on YouTube that goes around the streets with BobMan and meets up with that Hot Asian chick. Well I did ask JOE about her but unfortunately she wasn't working at the restaurant any more 'Damn'. And if you are paranoid about the way your HT looks you can always get DOUG to give a little hair cut to blend in the HT. Fear not because this bloke does the best HT hair cuts in town! Don't forget to hit him up guys, highly recommended! To round it all up, my experience with Dr Wong & staff was excellent. I was treated with the utmost respect and understanding at all times, and that is a big deal when we all know that losing your hair is a real concern for a lot of guys and not a trivial matter. All I have left to say is ??“ be sure to do your research and be sure your confident with your Dr & be sure it is the right decision for YOU. I will post new pic's every few months and let you know how it's turning out! Hope all goes well Thanks Dr Wong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Asian Player'

Hey People, Despite the whole economic meltdown, I have decided to take the plunge, Jet off to Canada an finally get my 1st HT with Dr Wong! Very nervous I am but what the heck.... I am actually part Asian/Australian with medium hair density, Just like to know if any one OUT THERE could share there thoughts on what I could expect after this 1st HT? I have never really seen many Asian HT people on this site. Any Asian blokes out there with decent results? As I am part Asian I'm not to sure what to classify my hair type as? I am hoping Dr Wong can place 4000 graphs in the front section & Mid section of my head. Any left over graphs could be sprinkled throughout the crown. Attached are some pics Cheers

Hey Take A Chance, Yes it depressing and it's not fair, I wonder how many OZZY'S are stuck on the same boat? If you don't mind me asking, where about in Australia are you based? Yes I did meet one of Dr Wong's patients, very nice fellow too. This guy had very fine hair, so I guess that's why his HT didn't look like a (what's sup super star) He him self admitted he had week hair & needed one more HT to get that denser look, but you know what! He was so happy with his over all result, he said it was the best thing he ever done, didn't regret it one bit & that's the main thing, the kid got his confidence back! I had a real close look at this dudes) HT, couldn't even tell. His new hair line looked real, not fake and square like the HT's you get from other Dr's. I know my hair type is medium with lots of density & laxity, so I my self don't know what to expect. All I know is H&W have best rep, so I am sticking with them 100% I don't think every one is going to get a (Super star) result on there 1st HT, maybe on there 2nd HT? I guess it all depends on your hair type, thickness, density etc... But hey , I'm no super expert on this matter, best you ask JOE or one the HT Old timers on this site. I am concerned about this issue, and may even be the next Post I put up (Hair thickness per cubic cm ect..) something like that. Cheers Ozzie bloke

Hey Guys thanks for replying, I am going to have to take your advice on this =) Just wish Australia had Quality HT docs! Dr Woods in Sydney has an excellent track record but he costs an arm & a leg, and that is way out of the question for me, I may as well buy a house. It's starting to sound like NHI is the Bosely of Australia? I reckon NHI should pay PAT to visit Melbourne and review there clinic, I am sure NHI could afford it + this would give them an opportunity for redemption in the HT community. Not doubting Dr Rhett Bosnich's surgical abilities, it would just be fantastic to see the proof in the pudding, Pics of patience!!! Billonny: Hi Mate I definitely feel your pain on this one, your taking a big gamble and I wish I had your courage! How many graphs are you up for? This really sucks buddy, but it's just the way the world is going at the moment. I decided to take (Clive McQuire's)advice and wait it out =O what choice do I really have? Take a gamble and ride with NHI?? Pics pictures are there any NHI people out there? I am only 29 an if I wait another year =( I guess I can see how the Propecia is working + I can save a little more dough for my holiday or more graphs. Peace OZZIE Bloke P.S As soon as the AUS dollar hits 80c I'm on that plane to Vancouver!! I hope you guys in the states really take care of your selves, with this whole economic melt down. Just looked in the paper today and there's Americans flying over here on vacation judy to take full advantage of the AUSSIE Dollar! GUYS! not for a HT I hope =P
