Senior Member Der3k7 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Dr wong said he can achieve this hairline for me given my donor density. I'll be getting ready to schedule with him as soon as I pass 1 or 2 more of my actuarial exams. So probably in summer time. Not pleased with how my hair looks in sunlight.

Senior Member hairlossPA Posted January 7, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2020 did H&W mention a wait list time? Possibly looking at getting one done with them in the next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 11, 2020 I actually haven't made that decision yet. Do you get to choose? The coordinator I've been speaking with most recently mentioned wong looked at my hairline design shown above and said it was achievable given my donor area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abi28 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 You are lucky that you still have grafts left in your donor, a lot of people would not have been able to fix their hair after 5000 grafts. I struggled to fix mine after only 2500 grafts, my 1st hair transplant was a disaster and I will never be able to cover all my head with a decent amount of grafts, that's something that I have to live with, I also feel like the more hair transplants you do on the same area the more you have yield issues, because of scar tissue that forms during the surgery and low blood circulation, something I learned during my journey, I am now 4 and a half months post op and I think the yield is going to be low, did H&W mention anything about being a repair patient and how scar tissue can effect yield or not really? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 11, 2020 He definitely know my entire history and Says my goal is achievable. I'll follow up with him now and see how much he thinks his yield will be affected on my due to previous surgeries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2020 They just said it is rare that they notice a decrease in yield due to previous surgeries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Sean Posted January 14, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 14, 2020 Derek, hope you get this sorted. I know how it is when sunlight hits the area and also indoor light as well. It would be nice to see your journey with dr Wong. Did he say it will take one pass or more than one? i am anxiously waiting to get fixed where the right doctor can fix the work of doctors that led to damages on my scalp. The worst thing doctors can do is to lose patients and not communicate with them , doctors should be honest and ethical. Like you, im extremely frustrated. wish you the best.

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks yeah I'm hoping to get it done around September to November time. My income should be going up by about 12-15k by then so I'll be able to handle it. Just waiting on the raises from passing actuarial exams. I'll document it when the time comes. He said he can achieve my hairline in the 1 surgery and I should have 1000-1200 donors left for future surgery as my hair on top thins but needs to inspect my donor in person.

They have their own techs/teams. Wong is active with going to lots of conferences, he also makes/modifies his own tools and blades in his office. I think many consider him one of the top docs for crown work. hasson has some great work out there too. Great at dense packing. Look at @Aftermath’s results as probably one of the best out there they both only do incisions during the surgery as far as I’m aware. But the techs there have been with H&W for many years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you consult with both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Well there is actually going to be some slight changes to the shape of the hairline to make it more sharp and angular in areas because of the lack of density they will be small but noticeable Edited January 25, 2020 by Der3k7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are great results from almost any clinic online. Even from the poor ones. Couto is great but recently some real patient result were shared: They looked very human to me. No clinic has only great result and no Dr. is a Wizzard. 1 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Swish Posted February 3, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted February 3, 2020 Keep in mind that Couto posts pictures of people who already have great, thick and dense donor hair. It also appears that he uses different lightning for before and after pictures, which can affect the post op quite a abit. But beside that, it looks great. How is your nose btw?

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2020 The lighting looks fine to me plus the video clearly goes through the entire recipient area and parts it and combs it through so it is extremely dense in the recipient area. My nose is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I mean even when I look at h&w clinic posted results and compare them to the clinic posted results by couto i think coutos look more impressive. He is also almost half the cost. There's also an elite Animal specialist tattoo artist in Spain that I am wanting to book with. Including the price of airfare plus the cost of the tattoo I'd be spending less money than at h&w still lol Edited February 3, 2020 by Der3k7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
