TOLONG TRANSLET BAGI YANG BISA ENGLISH.... THNKS....
Thank you for your interest in Hasson & Wong. Dr. Wong has reviewed your
case and feels that 4000 grafts will be necesssary depending on hairline
placement. Dr. Wong will rebuild a hairline that is age appropriate for you
now and for when you get older. This means that proper temple recession will
need to be built in. Dr. Wong will also place hair into your crown for
complete coverage. Dr. Wong asks that you carefully consider the information
regarding Propecia written below as this is important for your long term
goals to be realistic.
Please note that our recommendations are based solely on the information and
the photographs that you have provided. Generally our recommendations are
reasonably accurate but it must be clearly understood that we reserve the
right to change these recommendations based on clinical examination of your
particular scalp and hair characteristics.
In order to properly prepare for your procedure he asks that you begin scalp
exercises as seen on our website,
http://www.hassonandwong.com/hair-transplant-videos.php?file=49_scalp-laxity
-ex.flv&screenshot=49_screenshot_scalp-laxity-ex.jpg
These exercises will help to get your donor scalp in the best possible
condition for your procedure. The estimate is based on your scalp having
average laxity and average donor hair density. The more exercises you
perform, the more loose your scalp will become thus allowing for more
grafts.
Be advised that the doctor will need to shave the area of your scalp that
will receive grafts on the morning of the procedure. He needs to do this for
two reasons:
1.) In order to achieve the most natural result the growth of the new
hair must match that of the native hair as much as possible. The incisions
into the recipient scalp must be made perpendicular to the direction of
native hair growth. Only when the hair is shaved to roughly 2mm is the true
direction and angle of hair growth revealed. Perpendicular incisions make
for a natural growth angle of the new hair and will be indistinguishable
from that of the native hair.
2.) When the native hair in the recipient area is not shaved then the
doctor must physically move the hair to the sides in order to make
incisions. When this is done the visible angles are distorted and it becomes
virtually impossible to match those angles correctly. When this becomes an
issue then it is guaranteed that the incisions will cut across the roots of
native hairs and cause transection. The transected hairs subsequently die.
This effectively reduces the overall net gain from the procedure.
To be clear we only shave the areas that are to have new hair grafts placed.
For example if you are simply looking for hairline work we will only shave
roughly ½ centimeter into your existing hairline for proper blending with
the new grafts. If you have areas across the top of your scalp that are in
need then these areas will be shaved as well.
Please understand that hair restoration surgery does not address the root
cause of your hairloss. While transplanted hair is fully expected to remain
healthy hair restoration does not prevent further progression of hair loss.
The main cause of your hairloss is the level of DHT or "Dihydrotestosterone"
in your body. The process of DHT causing your hair to fall out can be slowed
or stopped with the use of medication, which is why we highly recommend the
use of Propecia. You should consult with your local doctor to get a
prescription before your surgery.
The responsible way of restoring one's hair is to make sure you know how to
also keep what hair you have. Doing this will reduce the need for future
procedures due to continued hairloss. At this point in time your hair is a
non-renewable resource, which is why it is imperative for you to keep what
hair you have left.
When you decide to schedule a procedure we will inform you of our
pre-operative instructions at two weeks and one week prior to your procedure
date. However, for those patients that use Rogaine or any product containing
Minoxidil we require a cessation of it’s use no later than two months before
your scheduled procedure date.
Our fee schedule is 5.00 US per graft up to the first 2000 grafts then 3.00
US for each graft thereafter plus 5% GST. For our out of town patients that
receive 1500 grafts or more we will credit the procedure for half of the
airfare expense up to 400.00 US and pay for two nights stay at the Sheraton
Wall Centre Hotel
www.sheratonvancouver.com.
In order to move forward with a secured procedure date please contact
Christina at [email]Info@HassonandWong.com[/email] . She coordinates all scheduling and
will address any questions regarding this. Be sure to inform us if you would
like to be placed on our standby list should any last minute openings become
available.
If you have any other questions regarding the procedure please contact us
anytime.
Again, thank you for your interest in Hasson & Wong.
Sincerely,
