Norwegian Patient’s Hair Transplant Story
I first noticed that I was losing my around 19 years old. My temples increased slowly year after year, my hair was thinning on the sides and in addition to that I was born naturally with relatively weak temple points.
I was not comfortable with this at all and decided to do a hair transplant in Poseidon clinic in Norway in 2012. At this stage I did not know the difference between the results of different doctors and clinics. I trusted my surgical clinic as they were known as the best in Norway.
I had a minor FUE surgery of 1000 hairs (around 500 grafts), and really not happy at all with the result. Wrong hair direction, complete temple closure and poor density. After this my hair starting thinning from the front too. I realized I had to go to a real expert to solve my issue and I decided to give H&W in Vancouver a chance after researching on the internet and a very convincing consultation I had with a Hasson & Wong adviser in London.
This picture shown was taken during the consultation in London to show me roughly how my new expected hairline should look in black and the red line representing the area of the transplanted hairs that needed to be removed. I was promised thicker hair in the front and stronger temple points. We also agreed to remove some of the grafts from previous hair transplant in order to create a more natural hairline.

A few hours post surgery
A couple of hours after the 12 hours procedure, less painful than expected. Ended up with 3501 grafts which was really good taken into account my relatively tight scalp. Frequently scalp exercises for 3 months made this possible. Procedure went smooth. Very happy with the new hairline made by Dr Wong and very excited how the result will be.
Two weeks post surgery
2 weeks after surgery, all crusts finally gone.
Six weeks post surgery
6 weeks after surgery. All transplanted hair shed, probably some shock loss of existing hair as well.Three months post surgery
3 months after surgery. Fine hair starting to grow. Realizing at this point how good it is going to be taken into account this is just the start. Lots of emotions going through my head. As I was very sensitive to hair loss I realized that this issue was making limitations for me both in work and private life.
4.5 months post surgery
4.5 months. Hair growth kicks in surprisingly fast. Getting more and more happy for every week.7 months post surgery
7 months. Hairline more and more defined. Kept my hair slightly shorter at this stage than previous pictures.
10 months post surgery
10 months. A new man. The confidence boost has improved life quality in all aspects, thank you Dr Wong.
