Dots? Would you be able to post some photos for us to look at?

MikeF et all,
Only two things for sure in this life, taxes and death.
If I didn't include the tax then it is my bad. Yes, in BC the tax is 7%. It is called GST or Goods and Services Tax.

Hugh,
Hey buddy, I know where you live....

Rugger,
I knew you'd respond with something like that and I'd be wide open for it but it was just too fun to resist
Next month is going to be a blast, buddy!

You should also be able to bring your own DVD's as well. Rugger brought a bunch of Oprah and Days Of Our Lives re-runs and two boxes of tissue.

Maverick,
Thanks for posting your pics. There are a lot of guys out there that are going through or have gone through the same thing as you. Pat is one example. So is Bushy. He recently had his "piece burning" ceremony I believe. He also lives in New York. Somewhere in Manhattan.
One thing I can say is that it looks like you have very excellent donor hair. Better pics would help determine this. Depending on your particular characterstics I'd say going for 4000 to 4500 grafts would do you very well.
Good luck with Dr. Feller. He'll give it to you straight.

Hairbethere,
Good question. Why do you think we have so many techs? They're patients that couldn't pay their bill!
Each case is different but we're not a bunch of greedy Enron executives. I can't give you a blanket answer because their isn't one.We simply address each case and take care of it appropriately and fairly.

I posted the photos for this patient on March 29th, 2004. When I saw the request for the photos again I went back to find the post and noticed an error. I originally posted that he had 5200 grafts. I reality it was 4877. My bad. The problem is that I wanted to edit the numbers before I gave you the link. Once I did that, I was notified that a "trigger word" had sent the post to be reviewed. What the...????? Anyway, the original thread is here... http://hair-restoration-info.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=5696015661&f=1466060861&m=8826075295&r=8826075295#8826075295

Shopboy,
3 months is the average time it takes to seen anything new. Being an average some people see something sooner, some later. I've seen guys for for as long as six months with nothing happening then BOOM! Growth. Hang tight and keep us informed of your progress. Who was your doctor and how many grafts?
-
Sorry guys, I've been slammeda and didn't see the questions.
Hugh,
Either way will work. I think that a combination of your two versions may work best. Move up, hold for half a second, then pull down and hold for half a second.
Truthseeker,
Ideally as often as you can but at least a couple hundred times a day to get a big noticeable difference. Less will work but you don't want to short change yourself.
Rugger,
I'm not going to ask for details on your "electric massage thing". That's probably personal anyway. Seriously, I don't think it would help much. You need to get some strong movement going and I don't think that would help. Using your hands is the best way.
Geedo,
No new wrinkles at all. It doesn't work like that so no worries.
Solid,
No bubble burst here. I never said we were the first to think of this. Just that it works and it helps a lot especially for those that have limited laxity. I think next will be the flying chopstick implantation method.

All,
Some of you that know my story know that the whole reason why I had my old mini/micro work eleven years ago was because my best friend wanted me to come along to a consultation with him. The rest is history.
Well, five months ago I was home for Xmas and I did an evaluation for him,(yes we're still best friends). He had three surgeries with Dr. Norris and wound up with about 1500 mini grafts to my 800. Like me he progressed to a NW6 with nothing but his grafts being on the top of his scalp. Well his scalp laxity was not good. I was figuring on maybe 2000 grafts for him on the high end which would be good enough to at least hide some of his old work so he could stop being embarrassed in public. I knew he wanted to come out to Vancouver to have Dr. Wong work on him but he didn't know when he'd be able to. I told him he may as well start the scalp exercises now and it would help him to be more prepared once he was able to come out.
When he arrived the other day for his pre-op consult with Dr. Wong his scalp laxity had improved greatly. So great in fact that Dr. Wong was able to harvest 4100 grafts the next day!!! Dr. Wong rebuilt his hairline, brought out his right temple to match the left temple and placed the rest of the grafts as far back as he could go which was just into the top of his crown. The rest of his crown is still bald.
I can't stress this enough guys. If you are coming to Hasson & Wong or ANY strip doc do yourself a favor and start these exercises NOW. It really does make a difference.

Jim,
Mini/micro grafting is performed via strip just like FU grafting however that is the end of the similarities. The grafts are unnatural in design because they are cut as the doctor sees fit and without microscopic magnification. Results like I had from my mini grafts looked horrible because it was done very poorly. I'm not advocating mini/micro grafting in the least bit because it was a terrible waste of tissue and grafts due to much higher transection rates but for it's day it was excellent in the right hands. With plugs,(4mm punch grafts), it was a journey with no end as no one I have ever seen has had anything near a natural appearance from these.

"1 hair grafts" mean single hair grafts. "2 hair grafts" means double hair grafts or greater,(triple, quads etc.).

That is most definitely "hat head" in the traditional sense and not from shockloss. This guy had NO shockloss. Not in the recipient area, not in the donor area.

Yes, this patient is only five months out. He reported no temporary shock loss whatsoever.
Bob, his head is not shaved. He has a little ring of hair around the bald area that was trimmed very short as he had planned on wearing a system while recovering but he changed his mind afterward.

The point of this thread is to show coverage and growth from the largest single session ever performed in one day, not to critique the hair style. With that said, there are some that have taken "the mullet" to a new level of artistic expression so I'd appreciate it if you guys would chill on his personal choice of hairstyle. This patient has agreed to not only show his preliminary results but he has agreed to do so in "Full Monty" mode. I understand he will soon have it all chopped off though.
Hairbgoin,
Dr. Wong performed this procedure. I believe it was his first to take him into the 5K Club.

Ok fellas,
This is the patient that had 5825 grafts in one session five months ago. The patient reported NO temporary shock loss after the procedure.

Can old minni and micro grafts,become f u graphs
in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

There are a few ways to address your issue. I too had bad mini-grafts about thirteen years ago and they were mis-directed as well. They basically pointed straight up. I simply had FU's placed inbetween and around them for camouflage and it worked extremely well. The thing for me was that the grafts were not too low on my hairline.
If your grafts are too low on your hairline then you may also want to consider a brow lift. I've see it done and it works like a charm. Basically, your hairline is given a second chance to be virgin territory for grafting and the old grafts that are harvested are divided using microscopes and redistributed.
