Senior Member thisguy1 Posted March 8, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2016 This is probably a case modern HT is made for. A low norwood who just needs a small amount of grafts to go from "barely balding" to "back to 20 years old". I wouldn worry about future hair loss - you barely had any thru mid 30s. Unless you are one of those weird cases that come out of the blue you were probably headed for NW3 at worse in 20 years and even if that is the case you started in the right spot to alleviate that and you have 1000s upon 1000s of grafts still in storage to fix anything that comes up in a decade. You are officially on cruise control for the next 7-8 years. Jan 2016 - 3800 graft FUT with Dr. Konior NW 5A to 6. Docs whose results I am most consistently impressed with: Konior, Cooley (FUT), Hasson (FUT), Diep (FUE) (yeah I like the zig zag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Shera Posted March 8, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi Spidey, Your hair already looks great at just 7 months and with the quality of hair you have, you will, in my opinion definitely see a lot more improvement over the next few months. I am 16 months in and I am still seeing a gradual improvement. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member YouOnlyLiveOnce Posted March 9, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nice work! Looks like Hasson has some street cred in the FUE world now =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spidey Posted May 4, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2016 9 months in... comparing it to the 7 month mark, you can see there was still improvement... Very happy with the results. Only annoying thing is still some of the hairs are crinkly :rolleyes: next update will be 12 months.

Senior Member Garageland Posted May 5, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2016 Spidey, Thanks for the update and glad to hear you are happy it looks great and you can expect the crinkly hairs to settle down over the coming months as the hair matures. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member thatoldchestnut Posted May 6, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted May 6, 2016 Obviously you were in a great position to start with, but this is superb. Utterly undetectable so far as I can tell and as others have noted, an excellent yield. Enjoy your perfect hair Congrats Spidey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member trashpanda Posted May 11, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks for sharing your results spidey, I would be lying if I said it didn't influence my decision to go with Dr. Hasson for a FUE procedure almost exactly a year after your surgery. I'm coming from the states to do it. I want to make a thread discussing my hair loss story and to document my surgery/recovery. Do I just start one in the FUE sub forum? Your results look incredible, congrats. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member barracuda9 Posted June 2, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2016 Spidey, I will be having a similar FUE procedure coming up in about a month and plan to keep my hair long. I am wondering if any of your hairline was shaven during the procedure or was it left exactly as is? I know some docs will want to shave a centimeter or two into the hairline to get a better visual of the scalp and surrounding hair. From your pics it doesn't look like it but I just wanted to be sure. I don't know what to expect. Thanks and great write-up! Your hair rocks!

Regular Member barracuda9 Posted June 5, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2016 That's why I asked because it doesn't look like he shaved any of the recipient area. Maybe because it was a smaller procedure?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member trashpanda Posted June 5, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2016 I believe Dr Hasson shaves the entire recipient area. It looks like Spidey may have had some of his hairline shaved off but most of his recipient area had little to no hair. For instance if he had thinning throughout the whole frontal area and wanted to address that in surgery, he would have had to shave that entire area. At that point you might as well shave the whole head because it looks a little ridiculous. I'm having a very similar procedure to Spidey in August, but with around 800 more grafts. I'm sure some of my hairline is going to have to be shaved down but I'm hoping it doesn't look too ridiculous where I could keep what's behind it to conceal the recipient area until it grows back. Whatever the case, I'm going to trust what Dr. Hasson wants to do in order to get the best results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spidey Posted June 5, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2016 trashpanda is right, my recipient area was shaved down, but only in the area that was receiving grafts. The area behind the recipient area wasn't shaved down at all. I would recommend going in with a buzzed head anyways, it will make growing out a lot better.... The only downside would be that you wouldn't be able to really hide the pinkness during the following months.

Regular Member barracuda9 Posted June 6, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2016 Makes sense..I appreciate the info. I'm gonna try to have them just shave what needs to be shaved in the hairline and comb the rest forward. It sure won't be an attractive hairstyle but def better then me w/a buzzed head. Got to be back to work 1 week post-op. Anyways, looking forward to your next update Spidey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spidey Posted August 16, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just had my 12 month followup with Dr Hasson and Doug. It was a neat experience going back there a year later. The clinic seemed busy as it appeared to be a full house (as usual). Pictures to follow....

Senior Member trashpanda Posted August 17, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2016 Looking forward to it Spidey. I was just in there 9 days ago.

Senior Member DavidAnderson Posted August 20, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hi Spidey, Thanks for the update and glad you got back to see Dr Hasson and Doug shame I was not there this time to see your result in person but look forward to seeing the photos.

Senior Member Spidey Posted August 25, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2016 As promised, here are the 12 month pictures that Doug took at the clinic last week, with the HW signature blue background As you can see the pictures taken at the clinic are much better quality than the pictures I have been posting via my phone camera. Now I cross my fingers and hope my future hairloss is minimal to non existent. I am currently using rogaine foam, and have been for the past decade. I stopped using topical spiro as it is now discontinued. For the last couple of weeks, I started trying the topical Azelaic acid by Kourosh. Too early to tell if it works, however, it if helps me maintain, I won't complain. I have never been on nor will I ever try Fin. Also, the transplanted hair is slowly getting "softer" like the native hair, and less wirey 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 trashpanda Posted August 27, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted August 27, 2016 Great stuff Spidey, super happy for you and really glad you shared your results with the forum. Hopefully I will have similar results to you and will be reporting happily around this time next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
