Regular Member N0Air Posted August 28, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted August 28, 2016 Absolutely amazing work, Spidey!! Judging by your hair style, you know you have a great result! One quick question though -- in terms of your overall hairline, would you say that it's complete "as is" our would it require another HT pass for you to be able to slick back your hair?

Senior Member Spidey Posted August 29, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 29, 2016 Absolutely amazing work, Spidey!! Judging by your hair style, you know you have a great result! One quick question though -- in terms of your overall hairline, would you say that it's complete "as is" our would it require another HT pass for you to be able to slick back your hair? Thanks for the comment. I am totally happy with how my hair is. I actually can, and do slick my hair back and it looks completely fine. Maybe when I have time, I will post pictures of my hair styled with product. It actually looks better with the "wet" look with pomade. I'm a big hair product guy and love my reuzel pomades. All my pics, including the ones taken by hw are of my hair with no product and dry. The only picture I posted with product was one of my five month ones with product and flash. I realize it's not to the density of my teens but I am happy with that, especially if my hair does thin out a bit more in the future. This way I won't have super dense corners and a thinner mid area, which would look very unnatural. It depends on what happens in the future regarding whether I go in for a touch up or not. If my hair stays relatively the same as it is now, I am happy with not ever having to do another procedure. I rather not damage my donor area more if I don't have to as I like to fade the sides and back of my head down to a number 1 on an Oster, which is actually closer to a 1/2 guard on most other trimmers.

Senior Member Spidey Posted August 30, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 30, 2016 Here are pics pics of my hair wet, straight out of the shower. No product. Not even towel dried. I would never style my hair with this much of a wet look as its too grease looking for me lol. 1 My 1036 graft FUE with Dr HASSON. https://hassonandwong.com/timeline/fue-hair-transplant-timeline/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Sean Posted January 13, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2017 Only 1036 grafts? What a dense result! Nicely spread extractions. That's a great price for American patients at current exchange rates, especially, since this is for MANUAL FUE. Very small amount of FUE surgeons offer manual FUE in North America. Its great to read FUE grafts are inspected under the microscope and separated accordingly. These things are important. Great result and great job to the clinic. What a result . You are set.

His strip seems to be always taken above the safe zone putting the patient at risk long-term. He's made the same mistake here and extracted (or should I say assistant) outside of the safe zone with FUE. I hope you're not headed for a high norwood. If you are, there is a VERY real chance that you will lose the transplanted hairs due to miniaturization. While the work does look good, it's a small number of grafts. No doubt you will need a second to increase the density or style your hair strategically to make up for the lack of density. I'm guessing that Dr. Hasson would have recommended more grafts had it been strip. In the end, time will tell. As I mentioned, the recipient site looks great. Donor area (though a small number of grafts) good also. The only issue I possibly see is density due to your hair and scalp contrast. Easy fix though with a touch-up. That brings me to the question I'm sure many are wondering. The elephant in the room so to speak. Why on earth would you book FUE with Dr. Hasson? He has no FUE results. None. Nada. You're basically a guinea pig here. He is learning how to do FUE at your expense. He is training on your head. They also offer ARTAS at the expense of patient's heads, which is bad enough. The purchase was a sign of desperation no doubt. I guess what I'm getting at is I hope that you got a really good discount, especially since you're promoting his work on the forum. Something they are REALLY desperate for. Word on the street says their schedule took at hit because of their reluctance to offer FUE. If not, call them now and ask for one or at minimum a discount towards future work. There is a real chance that you won't get stellar growth due to their in-experience with FUE. Did they tell you that during the consultation? I hope so. Anyway, best of luck. I hope it works out. While the work looks good, time will tell if Dr. Hasson has learned how to overcome the many pitfalls of FUE. He is not proven in FUE, and in my opinion should not be changing patients top dollar until proven. There are much better alternatives. Good luck.

You're pretty much a dream candidate for every doctor. A NW2 turning into a NW1. Despite the small case, this is what a HT should look like. Amazing result man! Have you considered a mini 500 graft touch up in the future? Not that you need it, but you'll probably get your old high school hairline back with one hah.

A part of me wants to just live my life not thinking about anymore procedures as there is still a decent amount of down time and ugly duckling phase even for a small procedure. At the same time my hair loss so far has been very slow and a touch up down the road might possibly be the last as well.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2018 Interesting spidey, Did you ever shave your head before committing to surgery? I think you’d be surprised how different a shaved head with hair looks like in comparison to one with no hair. Im not saying thats not a solution, it most certainly is, but believe me shaving your head and moving on as a norwood 2 is totally different than shaving your head and moving on as a norwood 4,5 and 6. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Yea, I understand, but honestly it probably didnt look bad cause you still had hair and a hairline. If you didnt have a hairline or hair, I dont know if you’d still feel the same. I shaved my head in high school and didnt mind at all, but when i shaved my head as a bald guy, my face wasnt framed and this made my forehead look huge which threw my facial proportions way off.

Senior Member Spidey Posted September 6, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2018 I see what you're saying. But I'm confused as to why you brought it up. Was it to say that shaving my head now is an option instead of getting further procedures because I'm still a low NW?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2018 I just brought it up, because it sounds like you just want to shave your head and move on. Unfortunately, hair loss is progressive, so a shaved may look good right now, but in the future it may not thats all. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Spidey Posted September 6, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2018 I see why you mean. If my hair loss got to a nw4+ there's no way I'd bother playing catch up. And that's the problem I'm debating. I'd get a touch up if my hair stabilizes and doesn't go past a 3. If it does I'm not willing to go through multiple procedures.

Bill - Seemiller Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Spidey, I personally admire the guys that can shave their head after they’ve lost a good amount of hair and not care about it anymore. But for me, I hated the way I looked with a shaved head. That’s true whether or not I had a hairline. I just don’t have the type of head that looks good shape. So for me, no matter how much hair I lost, hair transplant surgery seemed like the right solution for me and now, I’m so glad that I didn’t. That said, if you can get away with shaving your head and moving on, then that would be probably the best thing to do. But only you can decide whether or not you are happy with the way you look and feel with a shaved head. You could always sport that look for a while and later down the road, if you decide that you want hair again, you could always consider surgery then. But once you undergo hair transplant surgery, shaving your head completely usually isn’t feasible because some kind of scarring will show. Best wishes, Bill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Legend007 Posted September 6, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ur hair is the fine the way it is now spidey.. I wouldn’t go for a touchup if I were u unless u get to Norwood 3 level .. if ur crown haven’t shown diffusing thinning At ur age I’m very doubt u would ever get bald enough to need to shave ur head .. A buzz cut later in life might be an option for u if u don’t want to go for another surgery .. u don’t have to shave it completely bald to have to be worrying about the bumpy skin texture .. I’m assuming .. but u know ur head better than me .. im like bill however .. I never want to be bald . I like having hair , it makes me a lot more youthful than my age .. best wishes ..
