At Hasson & Wong, we pride ourselves as world leaders in the hair restoration industry – constantly striving to refine our techniques in order to attain new levels of perfection for our patients. 2019 was an exciting time for us, and we are proud to look back on some of the most dramatic and noteworthy transformations of the year.

A Brand-New Man

Originally from Abbotsford, this patient in his early 50’s came to Hasson & Wong hoping to address his heavily receded hairline and thinning crown. He started losing his hair at the relatively young age of 22, and his hair loss gradually worsened over time – eventually putting him at stage 5-6 on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale.

Upon examination of his scalp, Dr. Hasson determined that he was a candidate for a large-scale FUT procedure dedicated to restoring maximum density to his frontal zone and crown. On the day of surgery, Dr. Hasson and his team of skilled technicians transplanted a total of 6514 grafts into his frontal zone, mid-scalp and crown during a single day-long session.

At first glance, it’s hard to believe that the two people in these images are in fact the same person. His hair transplant has easily made him look 10 years younger! Needless to say, he left the clinic a completely changed (and very happy) man.

Unrecognizable For All The Right Reasons

Originally from the USA, this patient in his mid 30’s came to Hasson and Wong hoping to restore density to his thinning hairline, frontal zone and crown. He first started losing his hair at the age of 28, and rapidly progressed to a Stage III Vertex (Diffuse Pattern Alopecia) on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale – characterised by recession in the hairline (particularly the temple regions), as well as thinning in the crown. Without surgical intervention, he would likely have progressed to a Stage VI. Upon examination of this patient’s scalp, Dr. Wong determined that he was a candidate for a large-scale FUT surgery (4000-4500 grafts) dedicated to restoring his hairline and frontal zone. Due to the advanced extent of his hair loss, however, he would most likely require a second surgery to restore density to his crown.

During the patient’s first surgery in May 2016, Dr. Wong and his team successfully harvested 4527 grafts via FUT and transplanted them to his hairline and frontal zone. The surgery itself was very successful, and his post-op procedures in the following days went smoothly. His second surgery took place over three years later in November 2019. During this procedure, Dr. Wong and his team harvested 3820 grafts via FUT and transplanted them into the patient’s crown.

The transformation to the patient’s frontal zone is undeniably impressive: he now boasts a full, dense hairline that can be styled in any manner he desires.  Over the course of the next 11 months, we expect equally great things from his crown!

Behind The Blur, There’s A Smile

This Vancouver BC-based patient in his mid-40’s approached Hasson & Wong hoping to restore his hairline and frontal zone to its former glory. During his in-person consultation at the clinic, Dr. Hasson observed that he had exceptional donor hair as well as a tighter-than-average scalp – making him a good candidate for a large-scale (4000+-graft) FUE procedure. These grafts would be dedicated to rebuilding patient’s hairline and frontal zone.

On the day of surgery, Dr. Hasson and his skilled team of technicians harvested 4035 grafts via the FUE extraction method and transplanted them into the desired regions. Only 9.5 months later, this patient would go on to boast one of the most spectacular results the clinic has ever seen. He now has a full, entirely natural-looking head of hair that frames his face in a manner that enhances his masculine features.

This patient’s results reflect the incredible progress that Hasson & Wong have made in the field of FUE over the past few years. We can safely say that our FUE results are some of the best in the world – comparable to (if not better than) FUT.

His Face Says It All

This Vancouver-based patient in his early 30’s approached Hasson & Wong seeking a long-term solution to his receding hairline and weak frontal zone. He first started experiencing hair loss around the age of 25, and from then on, he rapidly progressed to a Stage 4 on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale. Fortunately, he had good, relatively dense donor hair that made him an ideal candidate for hair restoration surgery. However, Dr. Hasson observed that his scalp was fairly tight – making him better suited to the FUE extraction technique than FUT.

Dr. Hasson and his team successfully managed to harvest 4210 grafts via FUE over the course of two full days of surgery. These grafts were transplanted into the front 1/3 of the patient’s scalp in order to restore density his hairline and frontal zone.

The patient’s results, photographed approximately 1-year after his surgery, reveal a truly stunning transformation. He now boasts a full, natural-looking hairline that frames his face properly and contributes to a more youthful appearance. Another home run for Hasson & Wong!

Incredible Hairline Transformation!

Originally from Vancouver, this patient in his late 20’s came to Hasson & Wong in order to rebuild his receding hairline and thinning frontal zone. He first started losing his hair at the relatively early age of 20, most likely due to a genetic proclivity to male pattern hair loss on his father’s side. His hair loss progressed fairly slowly – ultimately putting him at a Stage 3 on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale.

Upon examination of his scalp, Dr. Hasson informed him that he was an ideal candidate for hair restoration surgery. The patient opted to undergo surgery by means of the FUE extraction technique, since he liked to wear his hair very short in the back and therefore wanted no visible scarring. Dr. Hasson and his team successfully managed to harvest 3462 grafts over a two-day FUE procedure. These grafts were transplanted into the front 1/3 of the patient’s scalp – successfully rebuilding his hairline and frontal zone.

At 12 months post-op, this patient now boasts one of the finest hairlines ever to come out of the clinic. His amazing result is a reflection of the dense-packing technique that has been refined and perfected by Hasson & Wong over the years. A truly stunning transformation!

We all want to look in the mirror and like what we see. For those of us who experience hair loss, it starts slowly and gradually becomes more of a distraction and presents issues when we try and style our hair to make it look presentable. Each passing month and year offers new challenges and eventually for some of us there is very little if any hair in the front to style.

Over time with continued hair loss the mirror becomes a reminder that we just don’t feel as good about our appearance anymore and certain things in our life may start to suffer as a result of our lowered self-esteem. For some of us there comes a point in time when we’ve had enough and we would like to seek solutions for this problem. In the case of this Vancouver area patient he was fortunate enough to have the answer right in his backyard so he decided pay a visit to Hasson and Wong.

As is the case with many patients, a full head of hair was the ultimate goal. For some this is possible, for others expectations need to be slightly or substantially tempered. When Dr. Hasson evaluated this stage 6 patient he determined his donor hair was sufficient enough to provide reasonably good coverage to the considerable amount of balding scalp. It was explained that with this large area to cover in mind, this would be a two-stage process.

The first session would rebuild a new hairline, restore the frontal zone and mid scalp working to the front of the crown. This would provide a significant cosmetic benefit by re framing the face and therefore take many years off of his appearance. Dr Hasson and team accomplished this goal using 5474 grafts obtained using the FUT method of extraction. For stage 6’s or 7’s on the Norwood scale who have a considerable amount of area to cover, FUT is usually the preferred method for it’s ability to provide a few more grafts in total over FUE.

A second procedure, if desired, would complete the coverage by restoring the crown. For the second procedure, it’s likely either an FUT or FUE option would be possible. You can see in these photos the hairline design suits the patient well and the predictable transformation is quite impressive. It also goes without saying that the patient was very happy with the result and positive affect it has had on his self-worth.

This is just another good example of what a hair transplant can do for one’s appearance and how they feel about themselves. These are essentially two totally different people. One being the balding aging man unhappy with his appearance before the procedure, the other being a more youthful and confident handsome looking man after. He feels a little different about those trips to the mirror these days.

Once again Dr. Wong is set to embark on his annual trip to Europe. Many of you that have done your research may know Hasson and Wong is popular among Italians and we have long been the clinic of choice for many of these well-informed patients.

History From Before My Hair Transplant Surgery

I first noticed my hair loss at the age of 19, I began to notice my hairline receding and thinning a little bit. It knocked my confidence massively and I always felt self-conscious in public. I naturally have very fine blonde hair which has always made it a challenge to cover up my receding thinner areas.

The Next Steps And Why I Chose Hasson & Wong

As my early 20s went on my hairline got gradually worse and thinner. After trying the numerous different shampoos and products available on the market with no improvement, I started researching the possibility of a hair transplant. After a long process of narrowing down surgeons by reading through websites, forums etc. I couldn’t stop noticing that Hasson and Wong had the best reputation of the lot.

By the time I reached 26 years of age I took the plunge and contacted H&W.
After speaking to David Anderson who was part of the Hasson and Wong team at the time, I felt confident that deciding to book my surgery with Dr Wong was the perfect choice. I decided to book in September 2015. David suggested that I might need around 2500 grafts by the FUT method of extraction.

Experience In The H&W Clinic

When I arrived the day before my surgery the staff showed me the excellent clinic facilities. The view in itself was worth the trip over to Vancouver! When I spoke with Dr Wong the day before my surgery he decided that around 2000 grafts would help me achieve the result I wanted. He talked me through the process, what he was going to do, he then drew my new hairline and we talked about my expectations and my hair loss story. He also informed me that after my surgery I should take Finasteride in the form of Proscar cut in quarters taken 3 times a week to help my native hair. Everyone I spoke to at the clinic gave me the feeling I was at the right place.

The day of the operation had finally arrived, I had to be there at 6:15am and was taken care of by Carmen one of the hair technicians. She gave me some medication to prevent infections and to help with the anesthetic. Dr Wong arrived around half an hour later to redraw my hair line in preparation, it amazed me how he drew it all by hand exactly the same as the day before, his skills really do live up to his reputation!

During the procedure I felt no pain at all and was amazed how comfortable and relaxed I was. After a short while I remember having to turn around and sit in an upright position similar to being in a dentist chair and thinking it was just like going the dentist pain free and stress free watching all my favorite shows on Netflix. We had a few breaks in between and lunch was supplied from an incredible sushi spot nearby, by 1pm around 6 hours later my procedure was complete. I received 1969 grafts in the end; 813 single hair grafts, 1060 doubles and 96 three to four hair grafts. I was sent on my way with a post-op pack which included antibiotics, painkillers and shampoo.

The next day I visited the clinic for a checkup where the staff washed my hair and checked over everything to make sure it looked good.

POST-OP

The first 8-9 days of recovery were rough. I had pain along the sides of the donor area, which were covered in dark scabs (dried blood) for the first 12 days. I also had moderate pain at the top of my crown. I slept sitting up for the first week, and I babied my scalp 24/7. I had some facial swelling from day 3 to day 5.

The implanted hairs began to fall out on day 15. I had shed probably two-thirds of the newly implanted hairs by week 5. I also experienced a good bit of shock loss at the donor site above the ears, but I made sure to keep the hair on the sides longer to make it less conspicuous. The hair in the shock loss area began to regrow around month 4, after which the scar became less noticeable by the week.

The Journey Post Op

After the surgery I waited what felt like the longest 3 months before I started to see any progress.
By the end of the first month the redness in my scalp started to fade and the numbness in my scalp had started to wear off. I went through a small amount of shock loss of my existing hair (which is common) and the transplanted hair had all but shed, but I was happy knowing the first tough month was out the way.

Month 2 and 3 I looked the same as I did pre hair transplant and I was excited to start seeing results but knew I had to be patient. It was not until between month 3 and 4 that I started to feel the excitement that new hairs were sprouting through. Although other people wouldn’t notice, it already felt like a massive step forward.

It wasn’t until month 4 and 5 when I really started to feel the hairs grow and thicken as you can see in my pictures. As I got to month 6 I remember speaking to David from the clinic and said I would even be happy if it stopped there.

Well, I was wrong to think it was done growing!

By month 9 my new hairline was looking great and the most important part for me was that it looked natural. I was told by Dr Wong that the secret of a good hair transplant is one that no one notices.

Looking back 18 months later my results at 9 months were great and what I felt was natural at the time, but it took the whole 18 months to bed in and for the transplanted hairs to really soften, feel and grow similar to my own native hair.

I cannot put in to words how happy I am with my results! Choosing to go to Hasson and Wong has been the best decision and investment I have ever made, it has given me my confidence back and made me feel so much happier about myself.

Thank you to the H&W team
