Regular Member melendezam Posted March 4, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Had FUE with Dr. Hasson approximately 6 months ago. My result thus far doesn't look as spectacular as some posted on the H&W website timelines but been told by clinic my result is typical and there's still time to improve; hopeful that is the case. I only had the mid scalp and front area restored and left the crown as is. Edited March 4, 2022 by melendezam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that include Hasson and Wong or just Hasson? yes, I don't know why, but I associate Hasson's name with Wong's and vice versa, I consider them both on the same level and I don't really know if one is better than the other, maybe one will be more able to reconstruct the hairline and perhaps the other the crown, and perhaps the fact that they work in the same clinic makes me think this, in addition to the fact that I have hardly ever seen a poor transplant performed by these two surgeons.

Regular Member melendezam Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hello, sorry for the long wait. I've included my month 9 photos. My hair isn't styled at all with the non transplanted hair pulled back in the pics bc I wanted to get a good look at what was happening. Also included 2 pics from about 2 weeks after surgery for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member melendezam Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 I will say the hair is difficult to style with product without looking thin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Axel Posted June 15, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) From what I've read, there's still time for the hair that has grown in to become thicker. However, I was hoping you'd have a little more growth. I also went with Hassan and Wong, but I'm not quite to one month post-procedure. How much donor hair did Hassan say remained?

THE TRUTH Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Looks like a good result. But it seems like you are thining behind the transplanted area. Are you on oral medication ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member melendezam Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Hair transplant is a huge said: Looks like a good result. But it seems like you are thining behind the transplanted area. Are you on oral medication ? I am on finasteride and I do topical minoxidil. I also realize that I have significant thinning beyond transplanted area, but that was prior to surgery (you can see in first post). i was mostly concerned with how my hair frames my face and not as concerned with crown/mid scalp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasson said I had another 5k left, but personally I don't know if I would do another surgery. The time and anxiety were a lot for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member civic Posted June 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 5k grafts is a lot for just front to mid region, is it possible that too many grafts in such tight area caused some grafts not to survive? Usualy on such big fue or fut cases they pack 3-3.5k grafts from front to mid, has the clinic said why 5k were needed there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member jjsrader Posted June 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 H&W are dense-pack proponents for 20+ years. Especially in the frontal 1/3rd. It's why their hairlines and hairline zone(s) results are so consistent & well done imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went to H&W if you check my page, and they did a dense pack of 2600 grafts on just my temples mainly. So I hope they know what they're doing lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BurnieBurns Posted June 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2022 You've definitely achieved 'coverage' at this point. Regardless of what many say I you can get further growth after 9 months but not a crazy amount. Might be worth checking Dr Hassons opinion on whats the transplanted versus native hair thinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted June 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2022 This looks great, especially considering your goals/situation. The transplanted area looks incredible, and you've accomplished the mission of focusing on framing the face while being less concerned at getting full density in the area behind it. It's a viable strategy that could likely still pay off even if you choose not to get another procedure. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TRUTH Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It's a good result. 👍 but like you said not as spectacular as the outstanding cherry picked results posted by clinivs. It's a classic amongst the classics. All Clinics (not just hairmills) even the most reputable ones such as Hasson & Wong etc... only show their very best results. But still your result is good and it's a big change compared to baseline. The only issue is that you could have gotten the same result with a significantly less expensive clinic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jon2345 Posted July 9, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2022 It's a great result in my books. 5k is a lot. And usually a touch up is needed after that many grafts. The amazing results you see are usually from 2-3k procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
