@H & W Doug this is a great FUE result. You guys have some excellent FUE examples lately with very good yield. Does Dr. Hasson also use implanter pens? I recently saw a video on Youtube where Dr. Wong was talking about the use of implanter pens and how as a result the yield has gone up. -
I have just recently had 3500+ grafts via FUT by Dr. Wong. This was my second surgery my first was also about 3500 in the frontal half of scalp about 10 years ago by a different Doctor and i've been on Finasteride for the last decade. My thinning is mostly diffused. I was asked to perform scalp Laxity exercises by Dr. Wong and by doing so I was able to get additional grafts with a second surgery. Here are the details. Got to the clinic early morning, took pics and got changed. Dr. Wong then marked the hairline and area where thinning is. He then shaved the recipient area as he was go -
My 1st FUT was on April 2014 with Dr Konior, so almost 7 years since then. Here's where my 1st FUT journey is documented at Dr Konior had done a good job with my 1st FUT that I never really had any concerns going again for another FUT if need vs FUE. I've also heard that going FUT before FUE can maximize the grafts that can be taken out, so I started looking for my options. No prizes for guessing who my 1st choice was ( sorry, it wasn't Dr Ron as mentioned in my title ) but Dr Konior. I reached out to him and found out that his prices have skyrocketed. Almost 2.5x than before. And a muc -
Top 5 FUE/FUT docs, 2020 edition
JayLDD replied to whattheFUE's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
As a basic rule, the clear association here is that younger doctors + younger clinics are more interested in digital marketing. Not exactly a surprise. Various older surgeons have already established a reputation and therefore don't require the same level of marketing or are simply adverse to newer forms of technology, or don't want to invest in someone to manage this aspect of a business. As you say, many can't hold up to modern top Youtube surgeons so it doesn't make sense to contest against them. I would also consider that younger surgeons who have learned their craft from the most mod -
Top 5 FUE/FUT docs, 2020 edition
OliverAtom replied to whattheFUE's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Hair Clinics - YouTube Channels So I see some say that having a YouTube channel is just a marketing vehicle to get patients? Da!!! And, what is posting results in this or other Forums? It is completely the same. Marketing. Whatever we do in our lives in order that others, family, friends, coworkers can see and appreciate, that is Marketing! When we drive our BMW or Mercedes or Ford, we are Marketing ourselves having this status or the other ... nowadays, ALL is marketing because we are social beings and more than ever, we like to be appreciated, either at work or playing football with you -

FUT - Scalp elasticity and strip scar
deitel130 replied to Falconary's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
During my consult for my second FUT I was advised I can get 2200 grafts using the existing strip being cut out. Dr. Wong advised that if I did scalp Laxity exercises for 3 months I can loosen my scalp. I was consistent and did the exercises for 3.5 months. The day prior to surgery I was advised that my Laxity was great. I was able to get 3500 grafts. I was advised by Dr. Wong that I had a lot of scar tissue built up which he had to remove from my first procedure and had it not been for that I would have likely got 4000 grafts. It definitely makes a difference but you have to be consistent -
Hey everybody. Hope y’all are doing well in COVID-19 times. So I went ahead and did a hair transplant. Thought I’d post my results as the months go along. I lurked this forum for a while before deciding to get my scalp harvested. I appreciated the honest feedback/recommendations here so I thought I’d make a post so others with similar level of baldness/hair type can get an idea of what to expect with the # of grafts I got. I’ll update as things progress. Details: -31 years old -Had the surgery on 17/08/2020 - Started finasteride 8 months before FUE. See -
Hi Everyone. This is my very first post on the forum. Like many, I have been quietly reading, learning and greatly benefiting from this great collaboration of opinion, ideas and suggestions. I have been contemplating getting an HT for a few years on and off, but only recently have begun to seriously contemplate going ahead with it. Below is quick background of my hairloss and where I stand currently.(Hoping I can get suggestions from the community here to help select a good Doc) Background: - I am currently 39 years old. - I first started noticing some th

FUE (with BHT): NW 6/7
deitel130 replied to InTheSix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I recently had a FUT procedure at Hasson and Wong. During strip removal I asked Dr. Wong about this and he mentioned the difference to be between 2k less with FUE only. For extensive hair loss and if someone has no concerns for a thin linear scar normally FUT will get you 2-3K more grafts. You can always finish with FUE later. Some FUE grafts can also be added to the scar if it stretches. Even with my linear scar I've always been able to get away with a 2 guard in most places. I had some stretch in a small area which I would just cover up with an eye liner pen for the first few days. -
Hello all, I finally bit the bullet. To give everyone a rundown I’m 39 years old this year. I live out of Austin, TX but I’m from closer to the Houston area. I started thinning when I was 18 and I tried everything to slow down the process, admittedly without a lot of knowledge back then. This was 1998 and I didn’t know much about propecia or minoxidil. I tried shampoos and all kinds of gimmicks. I did try propecia and minoxidil liquid but because I didn’t know enough about it and didn’t see immediate results I just stopped and got on with my life. It all started in my crown and then -

This Vancouver based patient in his late 20’s approached Hasson and Wong in hopes of restoring density to his hairline. He first began to lose his hair in his mid-20’s characterized by thinning of the temples along with some hairline recession. Upon review of this patient’s case, Dr. Wong determined he would be a good candidate for the procedure and reconstruction of the temple points would also enhance the cosmetic impact of the result. During the course of the one-day FUE procedure, Dr. Wong and his staff successfully transplanted 1300 grafts to restore a slightly lower and much stronger hai -
Top 5 FUE/FUT docs, 2020 edition
whattheFUE replied to whattheFUE's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Portugal, I put caveats but I certainly think Keser as a softer touch. Comparing him to docs that don't use a microscope he's still getting better results. That's just my opinion. The Spanish forums have a HUGE amount of cases published by patients for those two unless they're fake accounts. Freitas's results are too consistent to ignore him. Maybe you could call him Rookie of the Year, but certainly better results than guys who have been around forever. I agree w Hasson on the top 10 list. Wong has too many screw ups. -
FUE (with BHT): NW 6/7
deitel130 replied to InTheSix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@InTheSix if you are starting with 3000 grafts perhaps start with only scalp. Did Dr. Jones provide some cases of BHT he performed? If you are sticking within Canada Hasson and Wong also has great FUE cases. There is also Dr. Rahal who performs FUE exclusively however, not sure if he performs BHT. -
FUT - Scalp elasticity and strip scar
Falconary replied to Falconary's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thank you for the answer, will check out Hasson and Wong videos. I guess 4 weeks is not enough to notice a different in my case. I want to do the surgery in January, maximum in february, do you think I can achieve better elasticity in two months? Did you feel that your scalp got more elasticity? -
Dr. Wong 3500+ grafts FUT
deitel130 replied to deitel130's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
We decided not to lower the hairline as that would have meant more grafts to build a new hairline. Dr. Wong worked with the existing hairline so that I can get the added density I was looking for in the front and middle. The crown is what remains and Dr Wong estimated another 1500 would work well for my crown. Thanks for the encouragement. Hasson and Wong are truly top notch. The level of service has been exceptional and Dr. Wong has no ego whatsoever. It is probably the same from all the clinics referred here and I've been very happy to find this site which has been very helpful. W -
FUE (with BHT): NW 6/7
Portugal25 replied to InTheSix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@SLA I fully agree with @Melvin-Moderator and urge you to try to get a 8000 graft surgery with Hasson&Wong thus saving your FUE & BHT donor area for any future intervention. If you are dead set on FUE then go for a 8000 grafts FUE+BHT megas session at Eugenix but that might depleat your donor and then - no more FUE or FUT for you! -
FUE (with BHT): NW 6/7
Melvin-Moderator replied to InTheSix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I will ask you this, does hair length matter to you? If the answer is no, definitely go FUT first. FUE procedures can still be done. FUT and FUE are not mutually exclusive. You will by far get more hair doing FUT first. My choice for mega sessions would be Hasson and Wong. Afterward, you can still get FUE+BHT. -

deitel130 replied to InTheSix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If you are in Canada you should seriously considering consider Hasson and Wong. Their results and after care is exceptional. Dr Cam Simmons was a recommended surgeon here but he has since stopped performing HT. H&W regularly perform large sessions. If you want to perform a large HT combined with BHT you would want to look at Eugenix but from what others have recently started their wait list is a year out. Majority places have waiting lists. Can you share pics and others can provide feedback on whether you have enough head donor. You can always first start with scalp hair and later mo -
I wasn't going to post anything, but given that this forum reaches so many people that are ultimately making a life changing decision - perhaps some context as to why who you choose matters might be useful. I'm in my early thirties. About 7 years ago I had a consultation with Dr. Rahal in Ottawa (with him in person) - at which time I had A LOT more hair and he had indicated I was not a good candidate for HT surgery and I was sent off. I was pretty devastated, and over the years the progressive loss became worse to the point where I decided to try his clinic again to see if technolo -
If you believe that Hasson and Wong is the best choice for your hair loss then don't let two weeks of quarantine hold you back. In the bigger picture you will have results for the rest of your life to be proud of every time you look in the mirror. All the best! -
Hello everyone - I've been on this site with an account for almost 3 years now, and I honestly can't believe I actually pulled the trigger haha. It still hasn't hit me yet. Some of you might be aware of the amazing results I have received from finasteride alone (here), but over time, those results haven't really held up, so I decided to get a hair transplant to rebuild my frontal third. I was originally planning to see Hasson and Wong in Canada earlier this year, but due to COVID and travel restrictions, that was no longer a possibility and I was losing valuable recovery time as eac

I believe Dr. Varona does the extraction and insertion base off the consultation. I will be reaching out to Hasson & Wong and Gabel tomorrow. Been seeing Gabel’s name coming up a lot. Also is PRP legit? Seems like a lot clinics are pairing that with FUE.

Hasson and Wong has a clinic in Los Angeles?
-
Yes there are options still at that price point. Although it’s definitely worth saving to get a elite Dr. Unless your also happy to travel. Lots of euro options too. check out the: FUE clinic recommendation: Hattingen vs Pekiner vs Keser vs HLC thread. Hasson & Wong are in your price range. Can’t get much more elite 😂
