Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 1, 2018 Regular Member Posted February 1, 2018 Hey guys I’m going to share my experience with you all cause for the last 6 months I’ve read into these threads and this is what incouraged me to ultimately go with Dr. Hasson and do the surgury. I’ve been struggling with hair lose since my early 20s and have been wearing a hat for 99% of the time. Only time I would take a hat off is at home or at a wedding literally. It really was driving me bonkers.So I flew into Vancouver from edmonton and went for it yesterday, I did the surgury. Mornig of the surgury I was greeted by the girls and and was told to change into the shirt they provide. Then we went into the OR room with . Dr. Hasson he’s funny and helps you not worry too much. Dr. Hasson gave me the needles so I wouldn’t feel anything you feel them but it’s what is expected. He then started with the strip. As he takes the strip out he is closing it up at the same time. Took about 45 min no big deal. After that he got right into the incisions. I clicked every 100 and we got to 3500. For the next 8 hours it was implanting time as 2 girls work on me and 2 more work on removing the hairs out of the strip. We had breaks for lunch and supper they give you a menu and you pick whatever. I watched tv and talked with the nurses all very nice. The chair starts to get uncomfortable as you could imagine for moving for 12 hours laid back in the chair. After the top 3500 was done Dr. Hasson came back in and started on my temples he did about 250 each side. By this time it was about 10 hours in. The girls started to implant on the temples and that took another 2 hours. Then whatever grafts were left over they doubled up on the top. After we were all done I came back to the hotel took my pain medication and sleeping pill and crashed hard. Had a good sleep now I’m sitting in my hotel room having breakfast. Highly recommend Dr. Hasson great guy and awesome clinic. Let me know what ya guys think I’m thinking I’m gonna get great results!!!!! And don’t worry I’ll update everyone all the time of progress so hopefully I can help other people that were in my case!!! I know how it is . Cheers
Regular Member Gigantass Posted February 1, 2018 Regular Member Posted February 1, 2018 That’s a lot of grafts in that area, you’ll have a great result! I look forward to seeing your progress, how often do you plan to post pics?
Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 1, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks buddy I plan on posting 1-2-3 weeks then on a monthly basis. Cheers!
Senior Member hairlossPA Posted February 1, 2018 Senior Member Posted February 1, 2018 awesome write up any pics of the donor region post-op? i’m highly considering Hasson and will keep a close eye on this thread! what made you go FUT and with Hasson?
Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 2, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted February 2, 2018 I went with Dr. Hasson cause of the great reviews and results I seen on this site. I did the fut for one it was cheaper and i wear my hair long enough in the back... don’t ever plan on shaving I tried that befor and hated it. Plus I got 4800 grafts So I should get good density. Was just something I was comfortable going forward. The clinic suggested I also go fut. they offered fue and told me I could go either way.
Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 7, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted February 7, 2018 Here is my 1 week post op everything seems to be looking good got some scabs and crusts starting to come off. I asked the clinic haven’t heard back but I’ll ask upi guys too should I be leaving the recipient area dry and should I be putting anything on it? But all in all everything is looking good so far cheers
Regular Member hitherehair Posted February 7, 2018 Regular Member Posted February 7, 2018 Those grafts are densely packed and look really clean. This is going to be life changing for you buddy!
Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 14, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted February 14, 2018 2 week update all scans are gone. Looking good not shedding yet but hey hopefully it will just keep growing :rolleyes:
Regular Member Gigantass Posted February 14, 2018 Regular Member Posted February 14, 2018 Looks good bud, unfortunately, it’s more than likely that’s all gonna fall out...but it will grow back!!
Bill - Seemiller Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Your post-op photos look fantastic. Dr. Hasson is one of the best and I feel confident that you'll have an outstanding result. Please keep us posted. Best, Bill
Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 22, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted February 22, 2018 Here is my week 3 photos.. shedding is in full effect. Started to notice shedding around day 12. Staples were removed 1 week ago. Still have tingle sensation but feeling better. Things are moving along nicely now. Sick of winter ready for spring! :cool:
Regular Member Goldenboy Posted February 22, 2018 Regular Member Posted February 22, 2018 We are at the exact same point post op my friend. I'm shedding too but not so much, maybe 40 hairs a day. We also have similar hairlines designed, be interesting to see how the temple points grow in - hopefully dense!! Rahal FUT, 2800 frontal grafts (30/1/18) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/189021-dr-rahal-fut-2803-30-1-18-a.html
Regular Member Macbernal Posted February 22, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted February 22, 2018 Golden boy, I think I’m losing about that much too. Everyday in the shower is when they come out. I wash my hair like u normally would. I had 3500 incisions on the frontal third 200 each temple then the remaining grafts they doubled up on top. They are packed in there. So now the hard part for us. Sit and wait lol
Regular Member Justin77 Posted February 22, 2018 Regular Member Posted February 22, 2018 Looking good Macbernal, and shedding right on schedule. The post-op work looks great as usual with Dr. Hasson so I'm betting that you will be very happy with your result. My 1700 FUE with Dr. Konior - October 19, 2017
Regular Member Macbernal Posted March 31, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted March 31, 2018 Today is my 2 months post op. Everything feels pretty much normal again. I’ve gone swimming, skiing, played ice hockey. Not gonna lie the waiting game is rough I’ve told all my family and friends about the HT so they always ask to see it and it’s like nothings changed people beat it lol anyways here’s my 2 month photos. Cheers to the Easter weekend!!
