Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 As I write this post from my Ipad I am lying face down getting my fourth hair transplant from Dr. Wong and the team. We don't know just how many we are getting but it looks so far to be about 1200 grafts, all for my crown. My crown has never received much attention in the past but now it should get a nice boost. We have been shooting HD video of the procedure along with lots of photos so as usual expect a lot of documentation. I'll update later The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TC17 Posted October 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm very interested in seeing the video as soon as it gets posted, Joe. Any reason why you've never had Dr. Hasson do some work on you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 5, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ok, there are 1399 grafts. That takes me to roughly 9362 grafts. Dr. Wong is contemplating putting some of the grafts into the hairline but I'm not so sure. I still have time to mull it over. One thing is for sure, an iPad works great when you are stuck face down in surgery!

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Joe, You greedy, hairy man! I can't believe you're back in the chair given how terrific your hair already looks. But then again, I too experience hair greed at times and would like to thicken up my crown too. Please do go ahead and post some photos and of course, the video when you're able. I'm sure this will help provide you with a more dense look in the crown that you're looking for. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted October 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Looking forward to seeing your results Joe! I'm about to book another round with Dr. Feller for february so I'm about to go watch your scalp exercise video...were you diligent doing them for this session?

Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 5, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yep, hair greed. I am an addict! So, Dr. Wong put about 670 doubles and between 600 and 700 singles in my lower crown. I'm getting my temple points beefed up, especially on one side where the temple point met the sideburns. He is also touching the side where I part my hair. I'm no longer on my stomach and am sitting comfortably in the chair. More updates to come.

Senior Member Curious Posted October 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have seen photos of how you looked before your H&W transplants, and it's incredible that you could get so many grafts out of your donor. I'm sure your result will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member lorenzo Posted October 6, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2010 What a surprise I never expected that! At least nobody can call you greedy :eek:!! Did Dr. Wong tell you that you would look better than Jotronic? Post some pictures but make sure you hide the face. Its not that nobody knows what you look like but why spoil a piece of art.... It this what you are going to look like in the future?? Representative for Hasson & Wong.

Regular Member ukbloke Posted October 6, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2010 Ha, Finding this thread fascinating, Jotronic calmly typing on his ipad whilst going through a HT as if he were visiting the doctor for a flu jab. Isn't modern technology amazing from Jotronic through to Terry Pratchet describing his experience of Alzheimer's. These first hand real time accounts have the possibility to give us new insights and perspectives on things. I'm due my first HT in about a month and am getting quite edgy, but Jotronic's relaxed sailing through of yet another procedure is somewhat reassuring. Please post pics - very good - Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 8, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2010 Ok guys. Here is a quick update. Doug shaved my head yesterday. You can see the temple work that Dr. Wong did.

Senior Member haircut Posted October 8, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2010 From what I can tell, the only temple work that Dr. Wong did was at the temple points. Is that correct? How many grafts did he use for the temple points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
