Regular Member blanc1 Posted May 31, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi Everybody, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experiences with FUE with Hasson & Wong? It must be new for them I am guessing. I have been researching tons of stuff but cant find any opinions about this. I have read that a good FUE result depends much on the doctor, and I know they are great at FUT, but when it comes to FUE if it is new to them maybe they arent as experienced and will leave me with a not so great result. It would be so much easier for me to have a FUE done with them. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted June 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd be cautious. See what happened with Sean (diff thread) who was one of Rahal's 1st patients when he started offering FUE? I would rather wait for H&W to season for a bit with FUE, remember all the technicians and support staff need to learn and gain experience with this different technique. It's not just the surgeon. No doubt they will be producing knock-out results in the futurelike they do with FUT - but I would imagine there will be a learning curve and I would suggest letting them demonstrate 1st. Rather go with the surgeons in Turkey and Belgium for FUE. Erdoken, Bisanga and Feriduni are producing some knockout FUE results at a fraction of the price the U.S. surgeons charge.

Regular Member fueguy Posted June 1, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2015 When considering strip, I looked at H&W. Strip results are phenomenal. And Wong's crown work is among the best. I can't say the same for FUE. Sadly, they offer ARTAS. I think purchasing the machine recently. More than likely out of desperation. If you're considering FUE in USA/CAD, take a look at Shapiro and Rahal. I just had my FUE procedure with Rahal so i'm a a bit biased I did have a great chat with one of Shapiro's techs prior though. They are doing everything FUE right and hairlines are rock solid. I just felt that Rahal had an edge in density. Interesting that neither Shapiro and Rahal offer ARTAS. I think Shapiro sold his and Rahal's machine is collecting dust in a basement. Neither recommend the machine. And anyone searious about FUE won't either. I would reach out to both.

Senior Member Garageland Posted June 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for your interest in our clinic and for the positive comments. Our results from strip have been documented on this forum now for well over a decade and a quick search will find many results posted both by patients and by the clinic. We are relatively new when it comes to FUE and certainly in terms of grown out results but this will of course change in the near future and as soon as I can bring some grown out results by FUE I will. We have been quiet about our involvement with FUE for this very reason but we are very optimistic about the results from manual, motorized and Artas that we have carried out at the clinic to this date. We did purchase the Artas at the end of last year but also offer both manual and motorized extraction techniques. Ultimately the best method for extraction will depend on each individual patient. I intend to bring more about the FUE that we are offering in the coming months. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member wazaam Posted June 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2015 I would NOT consider a Artas procedure with any surgeon. You can reference my results if you need any further confirmation. Frankly I have yet to see a "wow" or stand out result from any Artas procedure from any surgeon/clinic. H & W are excellent with FUT procedures but as several of the other posters have commented I would consider a FUE surgeon who specializes in FUE. H & W results may be fine as they gain more experience but I certainly wouldn't take the risk with all the great options there currently are. Most of the top FUE clinics/surgeons also offer much more economical pricing structures so you are getting better quality results along with the better value.

BUSA Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 this is another perfect example as to why doctors need to be recommended for the type of transplants they SPECIALIZE in. everyone knows that H&W does great strip work but someone wanting FUE wud simply look at the recommended doctors and ASSume they do that just as well. that is just simply not the case. I don't doubt over time they could hone their skills with FUE but until then I wud go with someone who SPECIALIZES in FUE. ur best facial plastic surgeons on the planet do facial plastic surgery ONLY. same goes for the best FUE doctors they only do FUE. if u want strip H&W is the place to go imo but then u risk the dreaded ear to ear scar on the back of ur head. imo those that are using ARTAS just don't have the skill to perform it themselves and are relying on a mechanical machine to help with their shortcomings as a skilled doctor.

Senior Member Shadow of the EMpire State Posted June 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2015 Way, way too late to the game. I guess they've finally come to realize that a strip-only shop is no longer a sustainable business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blanc1 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2015 thanks for the responses everyone. I am also considering strip with them too, or FUE with rahal its just he's more money and I would prefer not to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spidey Posted July 30, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2015 the implantation of the grafts into the recipient area won't change... the artistic outcome will always be excellent, but the question is whether their extraction technique can yield a high rate of usable grafts. I am sure HW will not implant grafts that appear damage and won't grow... I have faith that the FUE for HW will be great. They have too much on the line to officially offer the method to the general public. They were probably offering it to certain clients unofficially prior to updating their website. The only thing I would be concerned about is the over harvesting due to numerous grafts being damaged in the process of extraction... I guess only time will tell...

Senior Member darlinglocks Posted July 30, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Hi blanc1, If you consider FUE, why not travelling abroad at a fraction of a cost? You take some holidays at the same time to visit India. I had my HT FUE done In India by Dr. Tejinder Bhatti and really recommend you to contact him for an online consultation or by email. You have nothing to loose by asking. All your questions will be answered I am very happy with my choice and so are other patients on this forum. Please feel free to ask me any questions Darlinglocks HT FUE 1524 grafts with Dr. Tejinder Bhatti Edited July 31, 2015 by David - Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2015 When choosing FUE is absolutely crucial you choose a physician that specializes in FUE, the learning curve for FUE takes a lot longer than FUT, so physicians that perform mainly FUT and a couple of FUE procedures a month are not ideal in my opinion. Check out Dr. Doganay in Turkey, his results are absolutely fantastic and his pricing is very reasonable. Dr. Diep, is also very good at FUE however is pricing is very high, Dr. Lorenzo is another physician that is a FUE specialist with fantastic consistent results. Again, with FUE it really comes down to surgical skill, a surgeon that is less skilled will have more transection which will lead to poor growth. I encourage you to really research the physician prior to having the surgery, also in my opinion its better to have smaller session with FUE, the rate of transection is higher when you move over 2,500 grafts at a time, with FUE its better to stay within the 2,000-2,500 range. If you're really bald you may have to do more than one procedure, just some things to consider. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member darlinglocks Posted August 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2015 I agree with you HTsoon, You have to choose a surgeon that specializes in FUE. So my recommendation would be do your homework. I am very happy to have done my HT FUE 1524 grafts with Dr.Tejinder Bhatti in Chandigarh India. He is straightforward, has an amazing team working with him at darlingbudsindia. You really have nothing to loose by comparing several doctors, cost, do online consultations. Good luck blanc1 and if you need more info, feel free to ask. Darlinglocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spidey Posted August 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2015 darlinglocks.. you are only what, one month post op? I am sure Dr Bhatti does great work, but aren't you a bit early on in your recovery to be raving about the results?
