This Vancouver patient came to see Dr. Hasson roughly 11 months ago. He wanted the frontal mid-scalp area addressed for a balance of density and coverage. The distribution ended just in the top of the crown where the down slope begins. The patient started Propecia, 1mg daily, six months before his procedure.
This patient came from Israel to have a procedure with Dr. Wong after his son had previously undergone a successful procedure, also with Dr. Wong, a few years earlier. Dr. Wong and his team transplanted 5496 Grafts in one session. The goal was to establish a new hairline with appropriate temple recession and to give the best balance possible between coverage and density. The result shown is only 7.5 months post-op so the final result should be thicker at 12 months.
This presentation represents a different approach for one with such aggressive loss. This patient is classified as a NW6 however the loss extends further than a typical NW6 but not quite as far as a NW7. In fact, this case is more of a hybrid, or a cross, between the two. The crown loss is typical of a NW6 however the sides are more aggressive that is more similar to a NW7.
After long discussions with this patient he decided that he would rather have a thinner top in order to have improved coverage in the crown. Regardless, we think that overall this result is a fantastic transformation and has made a significant cosmetic improvement.
This patient came to see Dr. Wong with the single goal of looking younger. The patient is in his late sixties and felt that having more hair would give him a more youthful appearance. 4526 grafts were placed in one session with the concentration being in the front half and less emphasis was placed on the crown yet still some light coverage, and an overall improvement were realized. The patient is ten months post-op.
As a one year old child, this patient was the victim of a kitchen accident in which boiling oil was spilled on his scalp.
The accident left him with a large area of scalp with no hair growth and thick scar tissue.
The scar was thickest in the middle of the scalp where blood supply was of greater concern. In this region Dr. Hasson had to be a little more careful with the density he was able to plant.
Closer to the sides and more towards and into the temples, the scar was not as thick, therefore Dr. Hasson was able to transplant at a slightly higher density.
This is evident in the photos shown with the area shaved.
As you can see, when done properly a transplant into scar tissue can be very successful.
2142 fu’s were used in this surgery.
Due to the compromised blood supply of scar tissue, an ultra dense pack is not attempted and a second surgery is usually part of the plan.
This patient came back for his second and final surgery to repair the damage done by the accident.
What we have found in scar tissue cases is that after transplanting into the damaged tissue, the blood supply returns to the area.
After examining the transplanted area, Dr. Hasson determined that he could place more grafts in the same area than he did in the first surgery due to increased blood supply.
This patient received 3104 fu’s on his second surgery 11 months after his first.
The final three images in this presentation show the patient one day post-op from his second procedure.
His dream of being able to wear his hair combed back or short after 30 years will soon be a reality.
This patient came to see Dr. Wong after having 2000 grafts via FUE. According to the patient he was not happy with his density so he was hoping Dr. Wong could improve his situation in the hairline and temples as well as thicken his crown. Dr. Wong suggested that the temple points be reconstructed as well for a better balance for the patient’s profile. 4735 grafts were transplanted in one session. The result shown is only six months post-op so more improvement is expected.
This patient came to see Dr. Hasson for as much coverage as possible in one session. With 5059 grafts in one session density was also achieved for a much fuller head of hair from front to back. The procedure was performed two years ago.
This patient from came to Vancouver in January, 2010 and asked Dr. Wong to give him as much coverage as possible. The patient’s hair has semi-coarse texture and a salt and pepper appearance. The patient sent these photos to us a few weeks ago from his home in Israel showing his six month progress. He has several more months of continued thickening and maturing to look forward to and will update us again in the future. The final graft count from this one surgery was 5496 grafts.
