Hasson & Wong way back in 2004, offered me a possibility, where i didn't know one existed. Much turmoil in my life at that very moment, but i decided and moved forward. Uncaring of what "people thought" or would think. But rather, for me. I wanted this and dammit, this time I'm taking it. Victor Hasson is a very coherent doctor, having invented cutting blades specifically for each patient's unique hair characteristics, by itself is amazing. But his work speaks for itself. Allowing yourself to become obsessed over something that's good for you...is fun. I dove deep and found myself observing actual H&W patients for about the 8 month waiting period for my first surgery in real-time during that period, and watch them have procedures, heal and then have that "after-photo triumph". And then, i became one of those very patients. I wanted to share my journey while it was happening for others to follow and get answers and inspiration from. I wear my hair buzzed these days and i love it. Honestly, it's still the best decision I've ever made, for myself. Peace! You look great man. You are the best example that if you do your research and choose the right doctor this can be a life changing procedure. Enloy your look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing, it’s rare to see HT cases past 5 years. Most guys move on and never post again. Its gonna be 10 years for me. I got into using a #1 guard when i was doing my own hair for about a year or so with the #2 on the sides and a #3 for the top and blending it in...blah blah blah. So, over some time i just started playing around with lowering the guards and eventually i just decided one day to take the whole damn thing down with a #1. It's been about 9 months or so now (who knows maybe longer) and i love it. WOW...10 years for you...CONGRATS! It is a milestone, that is for sure. Enjoy yours. With myself, I'm not concerned with the very faint scar in the back...it's a non-issue. So grateful for that. Take care...Peace! ✌️ Edited March 5 by Bobman 2 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooooooooow, that's trippy to see side-by-side mate. Ha! To answer your question, the answer is no. Did them at first in the very beginning for about a year-ish...and then stopped. I'll allow my eating-habits (aka) VITAMIX use and the Universe to do what it will at this point...i now let all that go. However, it is fun to know that i CAN GROW it all long again, if i so choose. There is that "freedom" if you will. But i honestly prefer the buzzed "uniform" cut all around. At least...that's where i am these days.

Peace! ✌️ Interesting, seems like you’ve since had an epiphany. In retrospect, given your new perspective would you have gotten a hair transplant? Or would you have accepted it and shaved? 2 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

In retrospect, given your new perspective would you have gotten a hair transplant? Or would you have accepted it and shaved? Well, epiphany....evolution of ideas...consciousness, and the like....sure. I thought like this then....just without the miles put on. Now, "WITH MILES"...and how i see things...to be brutally honest brother, i wouldn't change a thing. You have to understand that i went through going bald in my early 20's. Wearing a hairpiece for a number of years, before tossing them. And it was at that point whereby i just accepted myself and did shave my head. Around 2002 or so....there were many commercials on the television (back when i watched that) on HT's and i even almost went with one of them, based on a friggin' repetitious television commercial. Oye! Then around 2003/04, i started using my new laptop at my work and started looking on the web (a holy-crap idea) for HT's and i come across H&W some damn how...i call, we talk, magic happens and as the late-great Terrence McKenna would say, "So forth and so on...." But to answer your question...HT all the way. ✌️ Edited March 6 by Bobman 1 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
