| ABOUT ME |
|
BEST LITTLE HAIRHOUSE IN BC... I have been losing my hair for about 8 years now. I started thinking about hair restoration a few years ago. In February 2002 I finally took the plunge! And I can tell you this: Hasson and Wong is the way to go. I would say this to anyone: "If Dr. Hasson is not one of your top 3 choices, you haven't done enough research." With the exception of my consult with Hasson and Wong, every consultation I had left me wondering. I saw plenty of before and after pictures of hair transplants, but when I would ask if they were from actual patients of the doctor we were talking about, I always got the same answer: "Well, uh, no& But, Hair Transplants are all the same". I'm sorry, but that is FAR from the truth! I wanted to see actual patients of the ACTUAL Doctor who is going to be digging very near my brain. But, I found out, if you don't ASK the question, you won't get the answer! There is even a consultant out there, who works for another company, who had his work done by Dr. Hasson! Go figure... After combing the Internet, among other sources, I noticed that every good path lead to Hasson and Wong. In January 2002 I had a consultation at their Seattle office. Even though the information I had gathered showed that they were superior to other clinics, I still I walked in Mike Ferko's office with quite an attitude. I was sure that I could trip him up since I had all the right questions to ask. I was mistaken. As I was thumbing through the pages of their before and after photos, I came across a picture of a transplant patient that I recognized from their website. I said, "Hey! I recognize this guy! He looks GREAT, but how do I really know that he's your patient? You could have gotten this picture from anywhere!" His response? "Oh- That's George, He's stopping by in five minutes- you should stick around and meet him." Sure enough, George waltzes through the door- Larger than life! He let me inspect his mop-top. It looked great! And, if that wasn't enough, I was able to look at 2 more Hasson hairlines while I was there! I sat back down in my chair, and booked my appointment for 2 weeks later! I had a 3000 graft hair transplant (all follicular units) in February 2002, and the rest is history- Summed up in the following pictures.

 |
Losing 45#... Zero dollars Color and cut at Gene Juarez... $130.00 Two Megasessions with Dr. Hasson... $17,550.00 Going from bald-fat-grump-man to decent looking and being fully aware that my 2nd procedure has only STARTED to grow... PRICELESS |

Here's the REAL deal... Here's my progress in one picture. This is my before, 4 month post-op and 6 month post-op pictures. At 6 months I am roughly at 60% density. The end result should be around February 2003 (12 months). |

| I'm OUT! |
 |
Ok- Jotronic- Showing the "Full Monty" does really "help the cause", so here I am! 3000 grafts and 35# later. Look how GRUMPY I looked! |

PicFront view at 3-1/2 months. The hair is just starting to come in, so the follicles are pretty thin and wispy. Anyway- It's pretty fun to see the transformation. I would guess that only a few hundred of my 3000 grafts are in so far. |

Side view- 8 day post-op of Hasson 3000 graft transplant. You can see a few stray hairs below my new hairline- Those are from my original hairline. This is an hour after getting almost all of the scabs off. |

This is a shot of the back of my hair 1 hour after a "Number 2 Buzz" haircut. No sign of scar- My stylist has never even noticed... (By the way- A "Number 2" is the 2nd lowest setting on a barber's clippers...) |

Again- This is at 14 months with that "Number 2" clipper haircut. Notice no gap at all in my hair where the scar is. (It's YOUR job to find it!) |

 |
I had no work done in my crown. The Propecia/Proscar seems to be helping there- I think it's filled in a bit... |

Ok- We need a before-candid picture. This was taken in June of 2001 |

another candid before shot- June 2001 in Maui- Woohoo! |

This is epsecially for NJsnowball. Here's a closeup of a burn I got in Maui. June 2001. How 'bout that for a before shot? Gross, I know- But it shows the hairline! |

1 year after HT. I usually have my hair cut flat on top- This is what I would call the "Q-Tip look"! I had it cut again the next day |

As per request- What does your hair look like when you are NOT smiling (like in your "before" photo) I know- Not as good... |
