Red-- congrats on choosing a great HT doc.
I have noticed you made some rather interesting comments on another website---and while I am glad that you choose a great HT doc, the "lateral slit" marketing hype was put to rest by Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Wong when they did a side by side comparison on the same patient.
We have debated the aggressive/less aggressive approach and I noticed quite a bit of mudslinging elsewhere--which I am not into---because I know that you will have a great result with Dr. Wong.
Once again, congrats on your choice of Dr. Wong and I will enjoy seeing your journey!
Take Care,

Thanks Jason!
Yeah those guys on the other website do get a little heated. LOL! I'm not going to sling mud either.
I agree that there is no difference between Dr Shapiro's and Hasson and Wong's hairlines, but Hasson and Wong's lateral slit technique makes the hair look thicker...to me.
I just believe that Hasson and Wong's lateral slit technique puts the grafts into a "shingle" effect, which makes the hair look thicker from the front and the side. That's my personal opinion after doing my research on both.
I also don't want to wait 2 years to see the results I am looking for. Dr Wong is more aggressive in extracting large donors and since I am a Norwood 6 that is what I am looking for.
Thank you for the nice message.

Bspot,
The Lateral Slit Technique is not "marketing hype" as you put it and I fail to see how it was put to rest. If so, why have other top clinics incorporated it into their practice and now swear by it?
Quote by Dr. Ron Shapiro-
"I think that effect that M&M is talking about is simply the fact that the hair is combed up a little tighter more in this view..."
This was my biggest problem with the presentation. The side that was shown as Dr. Wong's work was the very frontal hairline and was all transplant. The side that was shown as Dr. Shapiro's was behind the natural hair so what you were looking at was the patient's natural hair blended with the transplanted hair. This is in now way a knock on Dr. Shapiro's work but only to show how the presentation was not exactly accurate.

Also, courtesy of the Lateral Slit Technique and a big session.

Hi... I am myself thinking about HT from Hasson and wong. Can you please tell me the price you are paying for HT like per graft? I am saving money right now and want to save as much as I can for the HT.
thanks

It depends on how many grafts your need. It's $5.00 a graft, but if you need more than 3,000 grafts they will give you a price break.
Hasson and Wong also gives you funding for a plane ticket and a free hotel.
Dr Wong and Dr Hasson are both great guys.
I completely forgot about this thread so I am going to update it.
Thanks for bumping it.
PM me if you have any more questions.
