Senior Member Garageland Posted May 19, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Hi all, Joe kindly posted my video update earlier in the week, I just got back to the UK from a hairline refinement and scar revision it was also a chance for me to spend some time at the clinic with Joe and Doug and observing some surgeries of both Doctors Hasson and Wong. As a real benefit the weather was great and I was able to explore Vancouver on foot, I will be updating my blog with a full range of photos of my trip and experience. The surgery was a breeze for me as it was a very small session compared to last time around, despite my scalp being very tight from 4 strip sessions Dr Hasson was able to remove alot of my old UK scars and still get just over 600 grafts to soften and redesign my hairline, although I was very happy with my hairline after my old pluggy grafts had been hid Dr Hasson still felt it needed tweaking slightly. The problem last time round was that my hairline created in 1996 by my old ht surgeon was wonky, I also wanted coverage all over so i didn't want a ton of grafts spend on my hairline and not get the coverage all over.Dr Hasson was able to even up the hairline and we decided a small widows peak might break up this appearance. Whilst I was in town two guys from the UK were also in the chair on Thursday so it was good to catch up with them, hopefully they will be posting their progress on this site.

Senior Member Garageland Posted May 22, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys yes I have been thrilled by the results as stated I had my some scar revision and Dr Hasson was able to get some grafts which he felt and I agreed best suited to go into the hairline to lower it slighty and try to change the appearance of it, my first Dr in 1996 drew the hairline crooked...it seriously took he five seconds and it was crooked because he was standing to one side of me....anyway that's another story. The grafts were split into singles to really refine the hairline and try to cover the mini and micro grafts that Dr Hasson could see, the hairline was lowered slighty and more so on the left to try to even it up a bit and we went with a small widows peak which I used to have in my teens. It would have been nice to pull 3000 grafts and put then into the crown to thicken it up but cause of my previous wasted surgeries in the 90's it simply wasn't possible and 600 into the crown would have made no cosmetic improvement. I have also added some pictures from my time in Vancouver of the city and sights on my website. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Garageland Posted September 8, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2010 I thought I would update my case at what was the 3.5 month period after my 600 grafts into the hairline, I have some early growth into the hairline which is easier to see in certain light than other, this started around the 2.5 month mark with an odd baby hair this has become increasing more rapid over the last month. The hairs don't really make any contribution to my hairline at the moment as they are still short and baby fine....here are some pics --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Garageland Posted November 23, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have taken some new shots of my hairline these represent a 6 month update, I have kept the original thread alive so you can see how the progress has been made over the years. I have noticed over the last few months that the hairs have really started to fill in now and help hide the old pluggy work further. Whilst the new hairs are there they are still quite fine and short and don't at this stage make a huge cosmetic improvement yet. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.
