This patient came from central Canada and asked Dr. Wong to give him as much of a restoration as possible in one session. He was 26 years old and felt that his hair loss made him look considerably older than he was.

Dr. Wong rebuilt a hairline that included proper recession for an adult male and gave him a much younger appearance without front-loading the scalp. The patient is 16 months post-op.

The thing I've always noticed about H&W pt's is the way the hair follicles seem to swirl about as if completely natural. If this guy had a lot of "front-loaded" grafting as you put it, it wouldn't look natural at all. As it is, no one would Ever in a million years guess that he had a HT.

Simply amazing result. This guy definitely looks his age and I can imagine that he is astounded by the results. LOVE it!

Outstanding.

any pics showing graft placement?? i have no clue how far back the dr went with this 4000. how many of the 4000 were up front? his crown looks a bit thicker.. is that meds or the fact that very different lighting is being used in the before and afters? OR the fact that hes buzzed in pre op and has LOOOONG hair post op? or is it all 3........................oh yeah...... it looks to be a VERY VERY nice improvment for this guy, there is no doubt his front was done very well

LMS,

The hair is shorter because he wore it this way which is common for a lot of hair loss sufferers. It's not buzzed, just shorter. Meds may have had something to do with the result but graft placement does as well as you can see in the photo below. The lighting is different but that's due to a bulb being out. Didn't have time to change it but the lighting is still very sufficient for the after. All the hairs are very visible.


Here you go.

thanks Joe---- that picture is perfect.. i appreciate you taking the time to address any and all questions, as usual.....

very nice work Dr. Wong

This is a wonderful result. The less aggressive approach seemed perfect for this guy.
His current hairstyle adds to the great outcome.
It seems much smarter to thicken up the whole front instead of a block wall hairline.
Dr. Wong does some amazing work.

Thanks Joe

After seeing results like this, why would any hair transplant candidate wwant to go and get a procedure done anywhere else?

Jotronic:

You mentioned that meds have helped this patient. Is this patient on Dr. Wong's every-other-day proscar regimen?

Thanks

WOW amazing transformation!!!

Shows how awesome and youthful a guy can look with getting a more conservative hairline

For all the results I've seen so far, this must be the closest of what my hair used to look.

Jotronic, what kind of characteristics did this patient have (donor, laxity, hair type etc.)?

Since I've lost considerable amount of hair in the back also, would something like this even be possible with NW5 heading to NW6 even when using more grafts?

Underconstruction,

I believe this patient is on the EOD regimen per Dr. Wong's instructions.

MajmX,

For hair texture this patient would be rated as slightly coarse. He has a very slight wave as well. His donor density was a little high but not obscene and his laxity was average.

With enough grafts anything is possible but for a NW5 to get this result a few more thousand grafts would be needed. The challenge would be getting the crown area to this same level of fullness and since the crown basically eats up grafts, more so than other areas of the scalp, a NW5 or NW6 would have to have healthy donor supply and of course a consistent regimen of finasteride to prevent further loss.
