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 -
Age 26, Norwood ~3V + retrograde + diffuse thinning (including donor) Medication: dutasteride 0.5mg/day, foam minoxidil 1-2mL/night Hair characteristics: high contrast with skin, fine, straight Cost: 2.15 euros/graft which is a discount from 2.25 euros/graft because I agreed to provide them anonymized photo updates for their own use. Posting this thread is my own choice. Though, I wish clinics would offer discounts for patients to post threads from start to finish. I see nothing wrong with that. Also, I think the price has gone up recently. Hair loss timeline: 18 - Looking back at -
ive been a long time lurker and noticed that Dr Hasson and Dr WOng seem to be the top guys. I also noticed there arent as many Dr. Wong threads in recent times compared to Hasson. Is this an indication that Dr. Wong is not doing as many transplants? I know he is in his 70s could it be his age? I don't mean any disrespect obviously just wondering incase there is more information. thanx

I received my hair transplant from Dr. Wong at the Hasson and Wong clinic in Vancouver. This is not my first hair transplant. I had an operation done by Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration in Houston, Texas for 2,500 grafts. The transplant with Dr. Arocha was done four years prior to the one performed by Dr. Wong. Dr. Wong and the clinic were very professional, but also personal and accommodating. My experience was fantastic from beginning to end and this is the only clinic I ever intend on returning to. I am extremely happy with the results. The scar is smaller and the placement o -
In order to perform FUT you need to have a team of technicians who can sliver and dissect the grafts. If you perform large FUT's like Hasson and Wong you need to have an even bigger team and they need to have a lot of experience. I don't think there are that many people as experienced in Europe, especially now. It's just easier to find a team that are proficient at FUE in Europe. -
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 -
Can you mention the surgeons who made these arguments? I simply ask because I think there is essence in who is making the statements. Speaking to Dr. Wong, he had mentioned that starting with FUT and going to FUE after would yield up to 2000-3000 grafts extra. Dr. Konior also seems to share the opinion that FUT+FUE yields more grafts as well. There is only so much FUE that can be done exclusively before the donor region starts to look depleted/thin. -
I do not know percentages. I think at this point, most reputable North American surgeons who perform both techniques would probably recommend FUT for advanced or destined to be advanced hair loss and doing as many FUTs as you can before switching over to FUE so I think there are probably more in the FUT/FUE camp. I think Hasson and Wong says you can get 1-2k grafts which could be up to 20% more with FUT/FUE combo. -
Hi Guys, This is an interesting thread and a little amusing to me for which I will explain. I worked daily side by side both doctors at the clinic for a good 15 years. During that time I would be the driving force when it came to patients result photos/video. Every opportunity I would get to capture photos or video I would take. At times I would take up to 150 photos to get the right angle, lighting etc. to match with the before pics for the best presentation. When I started working remotely, the onus was placed more on the doctors to take photos. At the end of the day, Dr. Hasson is a b

Hi All, **This is a cross-post with Hairlosstalk.com, I'm not familiar with either forum so I wasn't sure where would be best to put it** Finally took the plunge about 2 weeks ago after lots of research and a 6 month Covid delay. I had a trouble finding similar cases to mine, so I thought it would be helpful for folks in the future if I made a timeline. This way I can also force myself to keep better track as well. I'll follow this post up with a couple of others, giving a rough timeline and my thoughts on the process at each stage.- Previous Hairline: My family has a history of prom -
Have you reached out to Hasson and Wong?

I'm almost 29 and my hairline has gotten to the point where I'm starting to feel like my receded temples are beginning to limit my styling options. Over the last year or so, I've noticed my hairline has gotten worse to the point that I started to realize I was receding. I always noticed very minor recession at the temples but didn't think much of it and just assumed it was just a normal hairline. The last year though with all the WFH stuff, all my terrible procrastination/playing catch up habits have really manifested and it's taken a toll on my hair due to missing sleep and whatever else.

I decided to have my 3rd hair transplant with Dr Sanusi Umar of Redondo Beach California. Dr Umar was a friendly and fun guy to talk to. Dr Umar's staff was also very friendly and made me feel at ease immediately. Since I am a borderline Norwood 7 I asked Dr Umar to transplant 5,000 grafts. I also asked him to address my scar as I would like to be able to cut my hair shorter in the future. My ultimate goal is to be able to cut my hair pretty short in the future. The surgery lasted for 3 days from 7:30am to 8:00pm every day. I stayed at the beautiful Portofino Hot -
4,000 FUE with Dr. Hasson

Looks great so far. Any reason why you went with Hassan over Wong? Also do you mind to share pricing? -

Awesome. I remember he was on social media a few years ago talking about needing to go to Hasson and Wong. I think after Conte’s trip to them, they have become a bit of a go to amongst the premier league stars - did Klopp also go there ? -

Patrice Evra can be added to the list and thanks his doctor on an insta video showing off his new hairline. Hasson & Wong ’What a feeling’ as he washes his hair! -
Hi, I’m a 40 year old Asian man in the NY area who is ready to take the plunge on a hair transplant to fill in my temple hair region and strengthen my hairline. I’ve read that there are differences between Asian and Caucasian patients: thicker but fewer hair follicles per square cm that potentially effects FUE donor patchiness, a slightly higher chance of keloid scarring, and hair that grows outwards instead of downwards that makes the FUT linear scar more visible. I’m looking for a surgeon who is experienced in Asian hair transplants to minimize these risks. Hasson & Wong and Nak -
Hi all I’ve had some great consults over the past year and finally made the decision to book a procedure. However the more consults you do, it seems that the decision on which procedure and who to go with starts to become very difficult. I am currently 37 and on Finasteride 1mg EOD and using Minoxidil once per day on the crown. Definitely feel like a NW 6 is what the final end point wants to become. I’ve narrowed down my choices and leaning towards an FUE with Dr. Wong or Shapiro. Any transplant vets that might have gone FUE first and regretted as things progressed? I currently we -

FUE day 1 results (moved)
Melvin-Moderator replied to Datsun213's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
DHI, implanters, etc is more or less marketing. There are several surgeons who are elite that do not do DHI or use implanters. For example, hasson and wong. At the end of the day, I trust you researched the clinic and chose them based on their merit and reviews. If that’s the case, don’t worry. Trust in the process. -
That's interesting ya after reading through threads and asking around it seems that Dr. Hasson always recommends FUE but Dr Wong is still doing a lot of FUT and still recommends it I guess i started questioning something when Dr. Hasson is mentioned so often and Dr. Wong is rarely mentioned as far as results

NW7 Only 5000-6000 grafts available
kramer79 replied to BeadHead's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I agree with Melvin. Implanting between hairs takes a very experienced and confident doctor in order to avoid shock loss. I hear Dr. Wong is someone who is good in those situations and that he takes them on, hence why he has such a good reputation as a repair surgeon. Did Dr Wong mention how much of the 5000-6000 grafts would be FUT and how many FUT's you can do before switching to FUE ? I'm guessing he commented on your laxity... -
I don't think age is a factor. I recently had my surgery with Dr. Wong and he still seems very active and even comes in on weekends to look at his patients. Speaking with him he is still quite busy but from my personal opinion I feel like Dr. Wong is still performing more FUT where as Dr. Hasson is performing more FUE and the clinic is trying to provide more FUE examples. I think they have really proved themselves to be a top clinic when it comes to FUT and the focus now may just be to show more of their FUE work. Again this is just my take on it from what I've seen and speaking to others.

Ya I noticed that as well im not sure if that is a cause for concern for anyone contemplating going with wong becuase he used to be well documented but maybe it is his age after all... I also heard that Dr Hasson does only fue too but even then it dosent explain the big drop off for Dr Wong if it is because of that
