Senior Member Eman Posted November 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 honsetly, you cannot go wrong with either one! I think most on this site would agree with that. You will receive similar experiences from both docs. My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted November 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 How many grafts are you going for? Hasson tends to do larger sessions, which may be a factor for you; Wong has a reputation for having a particular knack for crowns (and hairlines, actually). Either way you are making a great decision -- I would try to split the hairs by seeing if one or the other suits your particular case "the best". ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member bllorayne Posted November 17, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 ok if DR WONG IS AN EXPERT FOR CROWN THEN WHAT ABOUT DR HASSON...WHATS IS HIS SPECIALITY?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted November 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 While it is bounced around quite a bit that Dr. Wong is the specialist for crown work Dr. Hasson is actually quite spectacular for crown work as well. Conversely, Dr. Wong is pretty spectacular at hairlines. What I suggest is that you should go through our patient gallery on our website here... http://www.hassonandwong.com/patient_gallery/hair-trans...-gallery-general.php And then brew a pot of coffee and sit back for our video gallery here... http://www.hassonandwong.com/mediagallery/av_player/index.html Both doctors have multiple examples of crown and hairline work as well as everything inbetween (get it?

Regular Member BillyJ Posted November 27, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 27, 2010 Bllorayne, At the end of my research phase I was equally impressed with both Doctors. My decision to choose Dr Wong was based on specifically indentified criteria, a fundamental factor being my age. However, I could have tossed a coin and whichever Doctor performed the surgery I would have been confident of a good result. They are truly exceptional in their field. Good dilemma to have.

Senior Member TheEmperor Posted December 3, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) I have had surgery with Wong and dislike the hairline. It is too assymetrical and does not match my forehead/face, in my opinion. This may be a result of poor yield; had the first procedure yielded more, he may have been able to slightly broaden the hairline in the second procedure. As it is, I dont feel the hairline will be age appropriate for another 15 years. Hopefully I will be able to find a FUE surgeon to make slight revisions to the shape that will still look good 15 years from now. The problem with H&W is that you pretty much are funneled to one or the other once you contact them. I have never heard of a patient having interviews with both doctors and then picking between them. I called without a preconceived notion of who to choose and was given Dr. Wong. I felt this was ok because Jotronic has a natural hairline and was a patient of Wong. However, Jotronics hairline was established by previous minigraft surgeries, so I have a feeling it closely mimics his original hairline, which is why it looks good. Jotronic is a "one off". Because he started out with a bunch of minigrafts, he ended up with better density than had he only had follicular grafts. In my research, there was a general consensus that Hasson does larger procedures (and has more youthful hairlines), although Joe claimed they do equal procedure sizes. Upon talking to the technicians while in the chair, they said they were happier working for Wong because he did generally smaller session, and it was not uncommon for them to be borrowed by Hasson for procedures that went late into the night. As both teams are generally independent, (they each have their own cutters and placers), it may be that one team gets better yield than the other. So whichever doctor you choose, I would urge you to do alot of ground work and research before calling them the first time, or they will place you with a doctor based on their own internal logic. In my case, Joe said he had shown doctor Wong my pictures and that "He was very excited to work on you" and "we expect great things for you."

NAS007 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Well, me too.. I agree.. Personally i would say Dr. Hasson... Results posted by him are more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted December 10, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) However, Jotronics hairline was established by previous mini-graft surgeries, so I have a feeling it closely mimics his original hairline, which is why it looks good. Jotronic is a "one off". Instead of addressing the entire list of contradicting and false statements in the entire post I'll just address this one. For you to say that Dr. Wong's work on me is a "one off" is so far fetched and fantastically WRONG that it boggles the mind how you come up with this stuff. My hairline, when I got to Dr. Wong, was placed BEHIND my original hairline when I was 22. The frontal hairline at that time consisted of 47 grafts in the front row. It was not "symmetrical" as you are so concerned about and it wasn't natural. Not in shape, not in placement, not in any way at all. If anything Dr. Wong used my old hairline to remind him of what NOT to do with my new hairline. The evidence... No one in their right mind can look at that and say my new hairline is a reflection of the old one in the slightest way. Of course, this is coming from the same guy that is telling people that I wear Toppik and wigs during consultations.

Senior Member lorenzo Posted December 11, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 11, 2010 Looking back at your pictures I feel you looked great before.. you went to Dr. Wong. The fact that you wanted to get a transplant after your micro and mini shows me alot of hair greed........... Representative for Hasson & Wong.

My opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Hasson & Wong.
