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 -
2500 FUE Dr. Jerry Wong
Sweettransvestite replied to Sweettransvestite's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
Hope so! Re: donor area. All the extractions were done by Dr. Wong’s assistant so gotta give her the credit there. Very chill Romanian woman, was very patient with me while I drooled in her lap, passed out a few times and breathed through my mouth. (Side note: eat a big breakfast folks! That tiny 2.5 mg Valium wouldn’t do shit for me on a normal day, but taking it at 7 AM on a relatively empty stomach fucked me up!) One thing I rly admired about Dr. Wong is that he consulted w/ his assistants thoroughly, asked them for their opinions, took them seriously. There was really no ego -

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 -
2500 FUE Dr. Jerry Wong
Melvin-Moderator replied to Sweettransvestite's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
Awesome write-up most of the FUE work I’ve seen has come from Dr. Hasson, it’s great to see Dr. Wong doing clean and refined FUE. You’ve chosen an excellent surgeon/clinic. I’ll be following your progress closely. Happy growing 🙂 -
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 -
Are doctors being straight with me?
Sam818 replied to hairlosssucks92's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Those are ethical doctors. Dr. Pak is the one doing the surgeries at new hair institute for Rassman. I can’t speak to the quality of their work as there are not many patient documented results for them which is what matters most. I highly recommend you also reach out to Dr. Gabel and also Hassan & Wong (post COVID for Canada) to compare and see which evaluation and doctor approach you like most. Those are 2 and a half hour flights out of LA which is nothing. -
I was mildly concerned with side effects to begin with but thought it was unlikely they would occur, I took 0.25mg the entire time. In terms of DHT reduction the result between 0.25mg and 1mg is very similar, although the exact effect on side effects is unknown so I was hoping it would drastically lower the chances. For the first year I had absolutely no sides, in the first month of useage my sex drive went up drastically and my lifts went up fairly drastically overnight, almost in a way that was steroidal. Things leveled out after that. I can't remember the exact time span but after about 2

Hi everyone, I wanted to consult with you all regarding my hair transplant journey. I live in Miami, Florida and traveled to Chicago where I had an FUE surgery with Dr. Sahar Nadimi one year ago and had 1500 grafts put in. At the time, I already felt I had great hair but wanted to restore my hairline which was thinning in the corners. While I must say, the experience with Nadimi's office was 100% exceptional and my donor area did not even look like I had surgery within a week, I mean seriously some of the best donor work I have ever seen. A year later and what i'm facing is that I just -
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 -
FUT Session with Dr. Diep for 2200 grafts
rahul_s replied to rahul_s's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
My first HT was done 10 years ago and I was not on Fin anytime. I had opted for my HT too soon as I was only 26 at that time and I should have waited until my hair loss has progressed. The only doctor who gave a honest assessment was Hasson & Wong, asked me to wait a few years as I was too young when I first consulted them 10 years ago because they thought my hair loss will progress. As for being an ideal candidate for hair restoration or not, I believe you don't have a MD to give an assessment and you better leave it for the doctors to decide. I know Dr. Diep is well qualified t -
Any idea how much the hairline was lowered here? I'd guess around half an inch but it's not always easy to tell with the smaller cases like this. Very nice result from Dr. Wong. -
I know they're no longer recommended here but realistically for FUE at this Norwood the only clinics getting anything close to full coverage via FUE are ASMED with Erdogan in Turkey as well as Lorenzo,arguably Couto although he tends to operate on patients without that level of loss and has at least 3 years on his waiting list. Bernstein is what I would consider to be part of an older, more conservative generation of surgeons that ultimately don't hold up to that present elite despite being important to the industries development. If you're a genuine NW6 your best bet would likely be to -
1400 graft FUE FULL journey
JayLDD replied to Dangrowthfactor's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
I'm going to be totally honest; avoid this surgeon and go elsewhere. Your donor looks terrible considering how many grafts you had. Why pay American prices for surgery if you're going to go to someone who is a nobody? The didn't implant enough grafts and left the state of your hair looking terrible and unnatural for at least a year. Its blatantly obvious from photos of your donor post-op and the design of the hairline that this is ultimately an amateur job. There are plenty of competent surgeons in the US, Bloxham and Konior for example, or Hasson in Canada are leagues above this. You sh -
1400 graft FUE FULL journey
JohnAC71 replied to Dangrowthfactor's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
This is what I was kind of getting too. To give adequate density to the area you needed most Drs would of perhaps quoted 2500 grafts. And you could have got it done in one procedure. If your Dr is saying you may need more in future then I would definitely consider another Drs input. You would do really well to consult with Hasson and Wong they are one of elite.- 103 replies

Dangrowthfactor replied to Dangrowthfactor's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
thanks Michael will keep the updates coming 💪🏻Appreciate the feedback ! Hey john, appreciate any and all feedback not take it wrong at all. I have considered the team in Canada Hassan and Wong ? I think I got that right. yes there will be some maturation he showed some of the hairs still coming up ( grafts 3 hairs with one graft some of those still sprouting). he did mention that even after additional 1000 I might want to put another 500-700 in to help with blending. He noted that it will never be as dense as the other parts of scalp, that I could get at minimum d- 103 replies

Patient in his mid-40’s from Florida. Previous procedure at another clinic back in 2000 of around 700 grafts. Dr. Wong and team rebuild a new hairline and frontal zone working back into the necessary areas of need including the crown. Of the 4490 grafts used, 1506 were single hair grafts, 2347 were doubles and 637 were 3-4 hair grafts. With his hair dyed, these photos were taken 1-year post-op at the time of his second procedure. In the second session, not reflected in these photos, Dr. Wong rebuilt the temples and points and increased density throughout. An additional 3532 grafts were emplo

I had my first transplant at 22 and it was absolutely the right decision. I ended up having to get off finasteride due to side effects but even that has not changed my considerations for the most part. The benefits massively outweigh the risks with a high-level surgeon. For someone in their early twenties I would likely recommend FUT to maximise graft numbers and suggest to anyone in that position to accept the scarring, for the vast majority a clinic like Hasson and Wong will leave you able to leave your back and sides relatively short regardless. ASMED for myself was a great choice althoug

Hello, I would like to ask the people of the forum if there is a specialist that has gotten good results with the crown area (diffuse hair loss pattern) that uses the FUT method. From some of my consultations the number seems to be at about 2500 grafts. I am from USA & I suppose travel restrictions do not allow me to travel to my first choice Hasson Wong any time soon. I am on the East coast but open to travel, just not to Turkey! -
Im genuinely interested as to what Hasson and Wong, or other surgeons for that matter, would do for a 'failed transplant'. (By the way, I am not suggesting this is a failed transplant, but such a thing is one of my biggest fears) So I wonder what surgeons policies are: full refund seems doubtful. 50% refund..hmmm who knows. free top-up? possibly.. Can anybody shed any light on this? Thanks -
Dr. Wong has been known for his crown work, but Konior is definitely an amazing surgeon as well, doing great work on crowns.

Hi everyone, Thank you all for your feedback. I wanted to provide a quick update. Ultimately, I decided to return to Dr. Nadimi. After speaking with many doctors, I felt most comfortable with Dr. Nadimi. She is an ethical Dr. who cares greatly about her patients, she is there with you throughout the entire surgery which is important to me. She is super responsive to any questions or concerns as well and makes herself available to speak. My second choice was Hasson and Wong but I couldn't get as comfortable with them as I am with Nadimi. I had some frustrations with my hairline design

This Vancouver area patient in his late mid to 30’s began to lose hair in his later 20’s. A more recent evaluation of his hair loss prompted a try of Rogaine for about a year with little success. Finally he decided it was time to visit Hasson and Wong in hopes of improving his hair loss situation. It was determined FUE was the best option and Dr. Hasson and staff proceeded with a 2 day FUE procedure which produced a total of 4855 grafts. Day 1 addressed the front/mid and yielded 2609 grafts of which 300 single hair grafts, 1826 were doubles and 483 were 3-4 hair grafts. Day 2’s total harvest f

FUT Session with Dr. Diep for 2200 grafts
rahul_s replied to rahul_s's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
Definitely. This forum helped me in preparing for both of my HTs. Any recommendations on doctors who are experts in FUE and body/beard HT? I have been thinking of Dr. Hassan and Wong in Vancouver, CA for FUE for my next procedure. Also, considering Eugenix Hair Solutions in India because they are into FUE plus Body HT. Thoughts?
