Regular Member moro Posted September 29, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Obviously he has more information to share than any other patient or even doctor although it is almost impossible to follow his route and all what he did with that balloon in his head for months. I cant imagine the pain he suffered. Do you guys know his story? Have anybody met him before? I just have to say, that who ever helped him to get out of the nightmare of multiple scars on his head did a GREAT JOB! He was trying to show me and I couldnt find any scar at all, unbelievable! If all what he told me today its all true, everything is possible for all of us! Plus he is a great supporter for sharing his life story. Thanks Balloonman! you are great man!

Regular Member moro Posted September 30, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Balloonman works for no clinic or doctor. Jotronic, let me ask you something, if you are employed by hasson&Wong, dont you think is unfair and deliberate your opinion on this forum? I apprecite your coments, but considering there is a big business involving a lot of money, how do you think we can take your opinion? Do you have an idea how much did we suffered from all this process? Its hard to belive for me that there is people pushing young boys to do HT when you are perfectly aware of people like me and many others (hundreds) suffering from this horribles procedures.

Senior Member j1j9j85 Posted October 1, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2010 joe obviosly has an idea of how many people can suffer from hair transplants as he too i believe has had many HT's him self!!! and has seen dr hasson and dr wong at first hand change and save the lives of many men and women, who not only have balding but also scarring from cancer surgerys,burns and so on!!!!! they and the other drs mentioned on this forum also help the lives of many men left mangled and scarred by lesser drs who left the men with huge ugly scars and no hair!!!!! and many drs who are recomended on this forum often turn many people away due to the fact that they simply are not good candidates for the surgery!!!! yes i suppose its all subjective and any one person is welcome to there own opinions! all i can say is the results posted by ex patients speaks for its self!!!!!!! you have been burned and you dont trust any one thats fine but trust me the people on this forum are here to help!!!!!!!!! yes ok in the end it often ends up with drs making money but thats life, no body does anything for free not even you or me!!!! if your looking to improve your position ie scar etc you could do alot worse than going to one of the drs on here!!!!

Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 1, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Do you have an idea how much did we suffered from all this process?. Yes, yes I do which is why I do what I do. I was in your boat at one time but the scars (I had two) were not so much of a big deal as the pluggy hairline. I wanted so badly to just shave but I knew the mini-grafts would look worse a few days later after they'd start to sprout again and look like chopped down tree stumps. I didn't care about my scars, I just cared about the hairline that would draw people's attention away from my eyes. So, I went in the opposite direction with more hair but this time, done well. 1992 Sx#1 300 to 400 mini-grafts w/Dr. Richard Norris-Knoxville, Tn. Age, 22. 1992 Sx#2 300 to 400 mini-grafts w/Dr. Richard Norris-Knoxville, Tn. Age, 23. Nine years with a pluggy hairline and two wide donor scars. March 2002 Sx#3 2406 FU Grafts with Dr. Jerry Wong, Vancouver BC/Age 32 November 2002 Sx#4 2425 FU Grafts with Dr. Jerry Wong, Vancouver BC/Age 33 January 2004 Sx#5 2488 FU Grafts with Dr. Jerry Wong, Vancouver BC/Age 34 2004 to 2007 Roughly 100 additional grafts through guinea pig freebies. 8000 (ish) FU Grafts total Scars...1 Me now, one week short of turning 41.

Yes, I agree with you. Except for "so not only was i left with a pencil thin scar" which I havent seen in all this years, and from all ex-patients and actual patients that I ve met in the last 3 years. When somebody who went through a HT using the strip procedure says those words I just have to be very careful, sorry. If not, just send me or post some pics of your scar/s today (with no hair at all of course) in order to see than "pencil thin scar" you have. I do not doubt at all about the ability of putting back 2000 or 3000 grafts and have a head full of hair again like JOTRONIC did, it is just the scar where this type of procedure, Clinics, and Doctors in my opinion are not been honest with all of us.

Senior Member j1j9j85 Posted October 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 22, 2010 i had 1200 grafts that didnt grow and left me with a fat scar, i then went to dr hasson and had an extra 3500 grafts, in which he was able to totally remove the old scar inside his new strip........ i then had the 3500 grafts placed in the front 3rd and the strip was closed with staples, so i didnt go in for a specicfic scar revision even though i had a fat scar as it didnt bother me and infact i thought it was ok how ever after having it done with staples and by a better dr looking at it now i realise that its was crap!!!! and im very happy with it now of course??? theres my answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member moro Posted October 23, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) j1j9j85, sorry but I didn t get the point, did your scar got better with the staples or not? Edited December 26, 2010 by moro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
