I'm starting a new video series on my Youtube channel and I felt that in order to start things off right I should reintroduce myself for those that may not know me or my history. This is my story, and the most documented HT case in history condensed into seven minutes:)
Joe, really well done. Thanks for this. I have read your site and this video does a really nice job of showing what you have to offer the community.

Interesting vid - you're a great advert for Dr Wong's work
Although I know about your background I didn't realize your starting point was that bad !
As a matter of interest, how much body hair did you use?

Being an advert for Dr. Wong's work is inevitable as long as I'm online but I'm happy about that because he deserves the recognition. We didn't use much body hair, just a few hundred grafts at most. There is one spot on my crown where it is growing to this day and it blends perfectly with the hair from my scalp. To be honest, there was little difference between the two to begin with as both are similar.

Joe, is the body hair the only FUE you did or did you get scalp FUE as well? Watching your vid was the first time I heard you did FUE. Pretty incredible where Dr. Wong took you from start to finish.

Thanks Joe.
How old were you when you became a NW6?

No. The BHT was done around 2005 but around 2010 or 2011, out of nowhere, his partner did a small FUE procedure on me. It was very last minute and was overall inconsequential to my overall improvements. Oddly, those FUE extractions, while healing, were the most painful of any surgery I've been through, by far.
Hi Smallville,
I was probably 28 or so by the time my natural pattern reached NW6 status. The before photos taken where you see the old work was when I was 31.

Thanks Joe. Interesting about the pain levels you talk about, could you elaborate more on that? Also, what do you mean by inconsequential to your overall results; you mean it was a small number of grafts?

The pain levels were post-op and part of the healing process. By "inconsequential" I mean that the procedure was small and once it was done there was zero inquiry regarding the effects or success so we don't know what grew or what didn't nor do we know what the scarring was like. I'm now mildly curious so I may try to add it to my documentation.
