Bobman Here!
Hello Everyone,
Some of you may know me....some of you may not.
When I had my first hair transplant, I was a Norwood 6+. I've had two major surgeries and one minor with Dr.Hasson of Hasson & Wong.
The first consisted of the front and top of my head, the second was all about the crown and the third was a temple construction.
All together it looks like this:
4,849 Grafts Dr. Hasson - September, 23rd 2004
2,955 Grafts Dr. Hasson - June, 23rd 2005
671 Grafts - W/Tri-Closure Dr. Hasson - Nov, 6th 2007
Total = 8,475 Grafts
I'm looking forward to posting on this forum and offering any advice or answer any questions. My ultimate goal is to get into the hair transplant industry as a consultant and I'm open to speaking with any surgeon whom wants to discuss a possible relationship.
Thanks!

Bobman! Wow, your hair looks INCREDIBLE! Nice!! I have had 2 HTs, one by Bosley for 800 grafts (yuck) an done by Doctor McAndrews of 1600 grafts (AWESOME!). I do expect to have more surgeries in the future to increase my density, but I was curious, when you reach the number of grafts that you have had, whatis the scarring like??

TeeJay: Thank you very much! I appreciate the nice compliment! Ooh...Bosley for 800 grafts...sorry to hear abou thtat. Glad you had a good experience with the second doc. Regarding my scar...the last surgery I had, we used a Tri-closure technique whereby Dr.Hasson closes the scar in such a way that it becomes virtually undetectable. So to answer your question, my scar is no something of an issue. If you do your scalp excercises to get as much elasticity as possible before your next surgery. It not only helps with getting more grafts, but with closing the donor area nicely. And in regards to any future work you may have done, in my opinion I would go for a doctor that can offer you a "mega-session". Anything lower than 2500 grafts in my opinion is a waste of time and money, unless its for pure touch up. In your case...I say GO FOR IT!

You got it Bobman. We could post your resume if you'd like j/K
Just keep doing what your doing and I'm sure people will recognize that you would be real asset to any hair transplant surgeon's practice. Like I said, you're a walking billboard for hair state of the art hair transplantation.
