H&W - Another First in The Industry - 9168 Grafts In One Session
Dr. Hasson and Dr. Wong are known world wide for being true innovators in the field of hair restoration. Dense packing, the Lateral Slit Technique, donor closures, etc. They are also known for being able to safely harvest more hair in one procedure than any other clinic.
We were the first clinic to document and share on the forums 4000 grafts in one procedure, 5000 then 6000 grafts. We then shared 7000 grafts and 8000 grafts in a single procedure. No other clinic has ever achieved this. I'm excited to share that Dr. Hasson has now broken the seemingly impossible barrier of 9000 grafts in a single procedure. The exact number is actually 9168 grafts, again, in a single procedure.
The patient is from Italy and as any patient that gets this many grafts in a single session his donor density and donor laxity were above average. Hopefully he'll give us permission to share his photos. Regardless, I wanted to share this achievement with the group.

Interesting achievement. I think that other clinics posted many of the firsts, however. As I recall, Dr. Rassman was the first to exceed 5000 grafts around 2000 or 2001. I'm not positive about the date. I was the first to exceed 7000 in 2004, 9000 in 2005, and 13,000 in 2005. The problem with super megasessions in my experience is that the growth is sometimes very poor. For that reason, I stopped doing them.
My personal opinion and personal experience is that the growth becomes variable above 7000 grafts in a single session. One theory I have is that the recipient area can become overwhelmed with free radicals and poison the grafts. Not only can the growth of such very large sessions be very poor, future growth can be very limited following subsequent transplant procedures. It is almost as if the body mounts an immune response to the transplanted grafts in future surgeries. I found that even small follow up surgeries produced low yields.
It is not to suggest that these large sessions cannot be done or that they cannot produce optimal results. I've seen good 7500 to over 9000 graft results. The problem is that the growth seems to be variable above 7000 grafts. For this reason, I do not recommend that patients consider procedures above 7000 grafts. I've said it before more than once. Just because I can do something does not mean that I should do something. That is just my cautionary opinion, which is not meant to take away from this remarkable feat.
