    Dormant phase?

    I am almost 3 weeks post op and I have experienced a ton of shedding. I have read that the dormant phase is an average of 3 months?.....I am just curious if that is 3 months from when the hair sheds or 3 months from the surgery?...thanks

    Is it corrupt

    How do you think the commission would get paid? Do you think Walgreens or whoever submits prescription receipts to MERK or GlaxoSmithKline and then they track down the doctor to mail him a check? The could easily happen through the actual drug company not Walgreens....but I never said it did...

    shock loss

    I just had a hair transplant... I know that my hair should start falling out again at about 3 weeks from "shock loss" ...I have read that some people dont actually loss any hair from it.. I was just wondering what small percentage of people don't lose hair from the shock?

    JUST GO WITH IT

    Well I just had an hair transplant a week ago and my head looks really funny. You know basically shaved on the top and long on the sides.

    WOW..craziest day of my life

    It cost me 5 dollars per graft for the first 1500 and 2.50 for every graft after that...I had 5008 grafts. I will take some photos soon to show the progress. I just noticed that I should have started this thread under "Tell you story"...so I will probably repost my comments there with photos...

    COSTS...help

    Thanks for the replies.... I was pretty sure I was going to stay with Hasson & Wong regardless of the price. This is not exactly a procedure you go to the lowest bidder with. I just wanted to confirm what others are paying. Dr. Hasson said I was lucky because I have a huge donor area, so I am...

    COSTS...help

    Hello I have done my research and decided to get surgery. I visited Dr. Victor Hasson (Hasson & Wong) a couple of weeks ago. I must say he was great and so was his staff. I was very impressed. But skeptism is good quality for patient. I am convinced of the quality of work. They quoted me...
