This patient in his early 50’s from Israel had the luxury of having his son blaze the trail before him when he also had his hair transplant with Dr Wong. His son’s results confirmed what he believed all along, Dr. Wong was the right choice to be the architect in charge of what he felt would be an impressive transformation. After evaluating what was determined to be good donor hair characteristics, a substantial cosmetic impact was expected and Dr. Wong agreed the anticipated significant positive change in his appearance was well within his grasp.
If the laxity and quality of the donor was less than ideal and the yield would have come in at closer to 4,000 to 4,500, a smaller second hair transplant procedure to address the crown would have been required. For some patients whose donor hair is average or less and who have a larger area to cover, the positive impact to the appearance can be similar but crown coverage may not be possible. The game plan was to reconstruct a new hairline, frontal zone and mid-scalp working back as far as possible. With the anticipated yield of something close to the 5,000 graft range, some crown coverage would be possible. Dr. Wong and team of hair transplant technicians transplanted 5496 Grafts in one session via FUT. A look at the breakdown of the 5496 grafts reveals 1562 were single hair grafts, 3317 were double and 617 were 3-4 hair grafts. With a final graft count above 5,000, as you can see, a lighter coverage of the crown was achieved in this case. The result shown is only 7.5 months post-op. This patient is very happy and a strong advocate for Hasson and Wong. Like many patients before him, he is excited to share his story and help others who walk down a similar hair loss path that he once did. If you are in Israel and are considering a hair transplant procedure with Hasson and Wong and would like to speak with this patient about his experience, get in touch with us and we’ll connect you. He’ll be happy to speak with you.
