New Hair Transplant Recipient

[sebastien]

I am new to this board and this will the first time I share my story about my hair loss. I am a 45 year old male and have been losing my hair since about the age of 22. I was "lucky" enough to have my hair loss happen slowly, I was able to cover it up for the most part, well at least it look covered enough to me. About 1 year ago I started noticing that despite my best efforts I could no longer cover it up. My hair loss was getting worse and quickly. It started showing more and more. Now, despite my attempts to do so I would always wear a baseball cap so as to "pretend" that I wasn't balding. I knew full well that it was not the case but it allowed me to forget about it while I was out with friends, etc. Finally, this past year I decided to either just accept it or to do something about it. I tried my best to accept it, tried to convince myself that this is natural and that many others share the same experience as I do. But, one morning I decided, ya know there has been enough progress in the field of hair restoration that it would be a good time to start doing some serious research. I didn't have to accept this. The more I researched the more the name Hasson and Wong appeared. Despite my best efforts I could not find any serious bad reviews regarding their clinic. The ones that I did find that were "bad" were usually due to unusual or very unfavorable circumstances of the recipient. It was not about the clinic per se, the doctors were informative and honest, but the client was not. I finally decided to send my pictures to Hasson and Wong to see what they had to say. They told me that I was an NW6, I didn't know what that was until I researched it and found that I was in the category of rather high hair loss. They sent me an email and told me that it they could transplant 4000 grafts with an additional 2000 at a later time. I reflected on this for quite some time and decided to go ahead and do it. They sent me an email with an outline of pre op instructions. I went ahead and did the scalp exercises in hopes that it would produce enough grafts so I wouldn't need a second procedure to cover the crown. After about 2 months of doing these exercises I finally was able to produce about 6300 grafts which covered the top and the crown. I was pleased with this result. Scalp exercises work!!!

I will post more details on the results of the hair transplant. But, let me tell you for anyone who is serious about getting their hair back and are thinking of getting a transplant consider Hasson and Wong! There may be other doctors out there than can do the job just fine but you just can't go wrong with Hasson and Wong. It's been 3 months now and my hair is really growing back fast. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the decision to get the transplant. I am looking forward to great results, already at this short juncture I can tell that this is going to be a great success. I have a lot of hair but it's relatively thin, this is to be expected at 3 months, but it will thicken over time.
