jors23 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi, I have a couple questions: 1. Can I get an estimation about the amount that I have to be ready to spend if I want to do about a 2000 grafts in Dr. Wong and Hasson? how about 3000 grafts? 2. How long does it take to look "normal" again, because I cannot take a really long vacation from my job and I need to meet clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest youngguy24 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Jors23, 1. From what I remember Hasson and Wong charges $4.50 for the first 2000 grafts and then $2.50 for each graft after 2000. Those prices are in American dollars and not Canadian. 2. If your hair is long enough in the back to cover the donor area I would think you would look normal after about 10 to 14 days if not less. Since I haven't been through a transplant yet I'm not the best person to answer this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HK500 Posted February 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think H & W close the donor area with staples so it will take longer to heal and they shave your recipient area. You are looking at least at 3 months or more like closer to 4 or 5 before people can't tell.

Senior Member hairbank Posted February 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2007 Depends on your point of view.......... I don't think it's 2-3 months before someone can't tell you've gotten a HT.................just 2-3 months before your hair grows out to a "decent" length. H&W likes to clip down the recipient area for your benefit. You can do some searching on this site and find out why. As for the scar, I don't think it takes longer to heal with staples versus sutures. I went through the same thing. I work in a professional environment and was only able to take off 12 days in a row. Could my co-workers tell I had a "burr-looking" haircut when I came back.....Yes. Could they tell I had a HT.....No way. Short hair, yes, but I strategically clipped around the scar and you could not see it unless up very close (too close) and knew what you were looking for. Yes..................you'll look "different" for awhile, but you don't have to tell everyone it was because you got a HT..........tell'em you got hit by a low flying plane, got your summer haircut........whatever. Blow it off, people will react based on your own personal reaction. If you don't care, they won't either.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted February 7, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi The item of concern is " will people notice?". If they shave your recep. area of course they will notice unless you get a month off or so.. This is the reason I choose a doctor which doesn't require me to shave my head. I have gone back to work within 10 days both times 1450 or so Ht's and cover the work with Dermatch.. I leave my donor area long enough to cover the stitches.. It's that simple JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kamin Posted February 7, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2007 Agreed, Mrjb. Also, if you're only filling in a receding hairline area and don't need to shave the recipient area (because there's no hair to shave!), then you should be able to be be back to work in as little as 4-5 days. I was able to use my existing hair to cover up the recipient receding hairline area. No one could tell, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
