This week, the procedure is scheduled with Dr Wong for 3500 fu's!

so heres where i stand as of 3/26/06. i'll have the post-op pics by this weekend!

any comments are greatly appreciated.

Awesome, thanks for posting! Really look forward the results; please keep updateing!

I will look forward to seeing your post op pics!! Good luck, Im sure you are nervous, but you will be fine.

Good luck, you appear to have excellent donor area, looks like medium to coarse hair also, if $$$ is not an issue i suggest asking for more graphs, just get it done the first time, Hasson & Wong and "techs" are at the top of the game right now.

I agree. I think you would need atleast 4000-4500 grafts to achieve maximum results in just one visit.

thank you all for your comments/suggestions! im off to catch a plane to vancouver!

WOW!!! Looks as if you have donor to spare, Domie!!!!! Make sure you keep us posted..... I bet you look like a million bucks in a few months....Awesome!!!!

Good luck with your procedure but I'm sure you won't need it with H&W at the helm. I'll be anxious to hear your story and see the pics when you get done.

Yeah an additional asset is the color of your hair. Minimal contrast with your scalp. With a megasession it should really look full. Enjoy the ride.

Good luck mate and thank you for sharing your experience with us!

hello again everyone! its great to hear your comments and encouragement! this has been one of the biggest (if not THEE biggest) decisions of my life and your shared knowledge, experiences and wealth of information has helped push me over the edge... to grab that nagging, despairing problem (hair loss) by the nose and kick it in the rear! again, thank you all!

post-op pics up. so the original plan was for 3000-3500 fu's... the final tally was somewhere in the 4900's... wow!? there was enough extra to fill in all thinning areas, i am absolutely amazed and thoroughly excited... especially to see the final results!

i am trying to find the words to describe my experience with hason and wong without sounding like a cheesy info-mmercial. across the board, every aspect of the process was very positive and comforting. from soothing my nerves (without drugs) to working out the details, i cant help but feel i made the right decision in H&W.

Hey domie,

I've sent you a PM !! You look great!! And I'm amazed at the graft count!! LOL!!

Doomie,

I just saw your post to the pics under my thread and didn't see these til after I posted my reply there........................WOW.......4900 grafts. Doc Wong hit a home run. Amazing! Congrats to you!

You're gonna have one awesome head of hair. Good luck during recovery and be sure to keep us posted with your updates.

Your post op pics look great!! Looks very densley packed!! I will be eagerly watching your posts over the next few months. Congrats on making the leap. IMO the hardest part is now done. Goodluck too you!!!

With color and texture of your hair, I think you're gonna have awesome density. You'll be able to spike your hair without looking thin.

Domie,

It was a pleasure having you with us. I'm truly excited about your impending results. Thanks for sharing with the group. Remember, the easy part is over. Now, you have to WAIT

thank you everyone for all the kind words and encouragement. i wouldnt/couldnt have taken this huge step in life without your contributions to this site. i am so happy i went through with the procedure (even currently with these staples in my dome) and so very excited to see the final results!

this place is such an incredible support base. :-)

Domie,

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I expect you will have an amazing result from this first and perhaps last surgery.

A big Congratulations to you and kudos to Dr. Wong and his staff. I look forward to seeing you update your weblog.

hello again everyone,

the staples were removed just last night, 52 total. piece of cake. today was time to tighten up the cut a bit (not that Dr Wong didnt give me a great haircut or anything). i used a #1 to a #3 strategically (this was a first, giving myself a haircut), im really happy with the results. ive lost a lot of the hair the past couple days rubbing off the "crusties" but im hoping that means they'll come back sooner!

till next time, cheers guys!

wow, with the shaved down pics you've got alot of little hairs, it's gonna look fantastic when it grows out!
