My HT with Dr. Wong on April 10/08 (3791 grafts) w/ pics!

Post by HairLossFight.com »

After several meetings with Dr. Wong, we settled on a plan to tackle my hair loss once and for all. I wanted him to go as aggressive with the hair line and temples as he was comfortable. As well, I wanted the hair as densely packed as possible.

Dr. Wong said that I have very coarse hair, with deep follicles, meaning that it's tougher to densely pack the hairs. He feared that going too far might mean the transplanted grafts might not grow. I told him to go as far as he could without risking that the hair won't grow.

We also agreed that he would bring the hair line down to 7 cm from my brow line. When he drew this in, I felt it was just at the point where I would be happy.

On the day of the surgery, he actually brought the hair line down to 6.8 cm from my brow line, and reconstructed my temples.

At this point, all I can say is that when all the hair grows in, I am going to be very happy with the results.

'nough said. Now for some pics!

Lol... It's nice to have a hairline that most people would consider non-balding again. I'm almost 4 months post-op now... nearing the point where it's starting to look good. Will post some more pics soon.

James, why do you want to go in again? You had a good hairline put in after the first HT.
