2-10-07: 1 year update from HT #2
7-8-06:<BR>I've attached pics for an update at 4MO. 22 DAYS. Let me know what you think.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>2-15-06: <BR>Hello everyone,<BR><BR>I went to H & W 2/15/06 and received 3886 grafts from Dr. Wong. This was my 2nd HT,the first having been 1 year ago where I received 1200 FUT's in the front and top.<BR><BR>The whole experience was great. I stayed in the Grandville Island Hotel which was very nice and only a 5 minute cab ride to the office. It's cool because you can order room service and really don't have to leave the room unless you want to.<BR><BR>I got there for the session at 6:15am and after completing the necessary forms was face down in the chair for donor strip extraction. This process took about an hour. Then, at around 8:30am they started placing grafts. During the whole process I felt little discomfort, if any. Dr. Wong was very good about checking with me to see if I could feel anything........I told him my head felt like a block of wood! (Good, I guess).<BR><BR>At lunchtime, the gave me a menu from the Red Robin restaurant which is located in the lower level. I had a sandwich and fries, and picked out a movie to watch in the afternoon. The session finished up at 4pm and I was good to go.<BR><BR>Jotronic stopped in during the middle of the afternoon to say hello. He's really a great guy and the primary reason I chose H&W after viewing his story and photos.<BR><BR>That night, I took 2 Tylenol PM's, and eventually the sleeping pill provided and slept fine. I went to H&W the next morning before my flight for the first cleaning. Unlike what I had done with the first HT, the want you to start "gently" washing the grafts and donor area starting the first day after the procedure.<BR><BR>I believe somewhere around 2800 FUT's went into the crown, with the remainder filling on and around the top and also around the hairline and temple peaks. You can see this from the pics below.<BR><BR>I am amazed at the donor scar. If it wasn't for the staples I'd go ahead and shave the rest of my hair down. It's soooo thin. Dr. Wong said I had great laxity and it came together nicely so it should heal fine.<BR><BR>Please let me know what you think of the pics. Thanks to Dr. Wong and his staff for a great HT!<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Hairbank |
