H & W Doug Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This Canadian patient in his mid-20’s from a province outside of British Colombia had a previous poorly executed FUE procedure in Pakistan. Two years removed from his disappointing results, further research and due diligence revealed he should turn to Dr. Wong for answers and a solution. His goals were to create adequate density and coverage to all areas with emphasis on the frontal zone and crown. Fortunately he had good donor hair and a high degree of laxity and it was determined that to achieve his goals and maximize the result, FUT would be the preferred method of extraction. The impressive harvest of 5,783 grafts consisted of 1320 single hair grafts, 3198 doubles and 665 3-4 hair grafts. It is also noted that Dr. Wong removed some of the previous improperly placed grafts from the hairline at the same time. The patient will return to have the remaining old hairline grafts removed which will greatly enhance the overall appearance of the newly constructed hairline. I may also add that for this type of outcome following an inferior procedure that has compromised the donor area as depicted in the pre-excision pics, a patient must have above average laxity and above average donor hair. These photos were sent in by the patient 7.5 months after his procedure. You can also hear some reference to this case in Dr. Wong’s recent Instagram live interview with Melvin. 2 I am a salaried employee of Hasson and Wong since 2001. Opinions expressed are my own.

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 Wow! What an improvement...and crown will improve even further. Patient should use KET or PO shampoo though 😉 The initial surgery is really a crime 😞 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member RandoBrando517 Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 Damn he got butchered. Bet he thought he was getting a good deal. Hasson and Wong one of the best clinics in the world. Best result on the forum is Hassons work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 Wow, simply stunning results. Thank you for sharing. This perfectly encapsulates the important of doing your homework and just how skilled H&W are. My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Senior Member OliverAtom Posted May 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2021 Wow, another miracle by H&W Clinic. A pity people have to undergo a repair after another clinic has butchered them, so unfair to have to go through that. One more amazing result by Dr Wong! Congratulations 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member harry_potter1 Posted May 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 11, 2021 This is why I love Dr.Wong work, amazing use of the grafts. for less than 6K grafts after less than 8 month and it is a work that some clinics won't produce after 2 surgeries and more grafts.

Regular Member Mattk494 Posted January 22, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 22, 2022 Most Grafs went to the front hairline? why was it all done in one surgery? Don’t mega sessions reduce graf survival rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t mega sessions reduce graf survival rates? Mattk494, I would say about 3,500 to 3,700 grafts went to the hairline/frontal zone/mid-scalp while around 2,000 to 2,200 went to the crown. For just the hairline? maybe 1,300? It is better to do as much as possible in one surgery in cases such as this with extensive loss. If the clinic can execute, there are a number of reasons this is best. It is more cost effective to do one 5800 grafts procedure than two sperate 2,900 graft procedures. Most patients would also want the result sooner rather than have to wait another 8-12 months to have phase two and then another year for the same result that could have been achieved the first time. It can also be more efficient to cut the scalp once rather than twice. Mega session survival rates in the hands of a capable surgeon and team present no concerns. All things considered, the number is not as important as how the grafts are handled and stored. If properly handled and stored, grafts can survive for 24 hours outside the body. And of course, the surgeon needs have the skill to safely place a certain number of grafts in a given area. Some may not have the skill, experience or confidence to pack to a certain density. In our clinic, if there are limitations as to how many grafts we can harvest, it is because an individual patient may present certain factors preventing a large session such as less than average donor hair and limited scalp mobility(FUT). Our ability, technology and process will not limit us. I am a salaried employee of Hasson and Wong since 2001. Opinions expressed are my own.

Post-op photos from his second session which yielded 3,074 grafts. I would say the scar is pretty good considering all of the previous scar tissue Dr. Wong had to contend with. In this round Dr. Wong rebuilt the temples and strategically added density to selected areas most in need of improvement. He also removed most if not all of the inappropriately placed grafts in the hairline from his previous procedure. This patient should be looking very good compared to where he started after this one. Luckily for him he had sufficient donor and picked the right surgeon this time around. 2 I am a salaried employee of Hasson and Wong since 2001. Opinions expressed are my own.

Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbaldguy Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Thank you so much for this If a patient has extensive FUE scarring, is the final result of the FUT scar usually impacted as well? Does previous FUE scarring impact the quality of the grafts in the strip? 9 hours ago, H & W Doug said: I would say the scar is pretty good considering all of the previous scar tissue Dr. Wong had to contend with. It's an absolutely fantastic FUT scar generally. Edited February 11, 2022 by anotherbaldguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
