Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2016 Boy, you sure didn't mess around. Been here for a month, got pointed in the right direction, then just went for it. Bravo! I'd tip my hat if I ever took it off. Why are you still wearing a hat?? Too scared to take the hair transplant plunge?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2016 ^^^^^ dont be scared buddy. A 4000 graft session is a good 11-hour surgery, but when its all over you'll be glad you went through with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ha ha.....my swelling has started. My eyes are starting to close shut and my face is getting puffy.

Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 5, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2016 Dutchie, congrats on the procedure! You must be thrilled you never went with Jones If dr. Hasson can deliver the same results with me as he has with other N6's then yes. Thrilled would be right word!! I also owe you guys on this forum a debt of grattitude. You, garageland, Lorenzo, Esrec and a bunch of others just to name a few. Its not that dr. Jones is a bad HT doctor, in fact he's quite good. He's just not among the worlds elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 5, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2016 Right now I'm just sitting in my hotel room watching TV. I cant really go out for beers because I cant drink for 5 days. So I'm kinda bored right now. If anyone has any questions then shoot. I'll be on this forum till midnight PST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted February 5, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2016 How hands-on in the surgery was Dr Hasson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 5, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2016 How hands-on in the surgery was Dr Hasson? Hasson did the cutting of the FUT strip himself. He also did the whole punching in donor recipient area himself. His assistants did the actual placing of the grafts. It took 2 girls to insert the grafts, and 3 more to do the graft slicing. H&W is a very professionally run clinic. I'm trying to think of something negative to say but I cant. Maybe the rooms were 2 degrees too cold. How's that??

Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 6, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2016 My surgery ended wednesday at 7pm. My swelling started next day thursday at 6pm. Its now almost gone, so the whole swelling ordeal only lasted about 28 hours. Also my FUT scar finally stopped hurting. Thank god for percocets or I wouldve gotten no sleep last 2 nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 7, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm going to create a progress thread when I get back to Toronto, but here's one of my first pics. You can see the scar and how far Hasson managed to get the 4217 grafts. By the way how many grafts do you guys think it would take to cover my crown?? I estimate around 2,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Stig Posted February 7, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 The crown is a black hole for grafts Dutchie, it eats them up, and you need more grafts to fill a smaller area than elsewhere on the head, but 2,000 to 3,000 should do the trick.

Yeah I figure 2,000 should be enough. The crown as far as I'm concerned doesnt have to be ultra dense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 13, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2016 So if I got 4,200 grafts total, and my front scalp was dense packed, how many grafts did my midscalp get (approximately) since it got less grafts??

If you contact the clinic, they can give you the distribution from your chart including the total number of single hair grafts, doubles, triples, etc. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member Stig Posted June 21, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'd be shocked if Jon went with anyone other than Konior based on his previous posts on the man. Good luck Jon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chris39 Posted June 21, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2016 One of the best decisions I've ever made . Just hit the 6 month mark , so hopefully more to come , but if it stayed as it is I'd be good with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted April 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 13, 2023 I think doing proper research on forums like this is the best way to minimise the chance of regret. As for those who go to cheap shady hair mills? God help them. That is Russian roulette with every graft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
