Senior Member Dutchie Posted February 7, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I'm still in Vancouver and I will update this thread better when I get back to Toronto because doing it from my smartphone is a bitch. Whole operation took 11 hours. I was a Norwood 6. Dr. Hasson managed to get 4217 FUT grafts with shitty laxity. I'm a 49-year old Caucasian. Silver hair with some pepper mixed in. My positive attributes are: - massive forelock (also called a tuft) which hides any unnatural hairline well. - silver hair on white skin which provides excellent contrast. - natural curly hair. - 6000 to 8000 possible donor grafts. My negative attributes are: - very large head. - very thin diameter hair. . Edited February 7, 2016 by Dutchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JON86 Posted February 7, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 Should be a huge game changer for you. Impressive how Hasson gets so many grafts from people with below average laxity. Has the swelling in your eyes passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive how Hasson gets so many grafts from people with below average laxity. Has the swelling in your eyes passed? Yeah, my outer epidermis skin laxity was good because I did the exercises. But the dermis skin wasnt very good. And the dermis the most important one of the two. My swelling was gone in about a day and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thatoldchestnut Posted February 7, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 Congrats Dutchie, rest up and wait for that H&W magic to start! 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 Congrats Dutchie, rest up and wait for that H&W magic to start! Yeah,I've decided to wait 10 days before flying back home. This way there can be absolutely no problems in case I bump my head because at 10 days the grafts are anchored securely in the scalp and wont come loose. I'm also sleeping with my neck pillow for the entire 10 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2016 Congrats dutchie, the white hair and white skin is the best contrast available, scars are not easily visible and the contrast is very forgiving when it comes to density.

Senior Member Spidey Posted February 8, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 8, 2016 congrats!! the scar looks very very clean... Good call on not flying asap.. If you have time to stick around until your grafts are locked in, and the scabs are more or less gone, the better. Just makes travelling less stressful.. Enjoy the Vancouver rain . Let me know if you want to grab a beer .

Senior Member esrec Posted February 9, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2016 Lookng good Dutchie. Exciting to see how far you've come in the past few months. Btw, another feature that's to your benefit is you have a nice round symmetrical head. If you did need to wear your hair short and maximize the look both now and for the future you could pull offf the buzz cut with ease. Let the fun (and pain, and patience. and self-scrutiny, and staring) begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
