Had 3888 grafts with Dr Rahal on my frontal 1/3. The doctor mentioned I had very good donor density (above 100cm2) and laxity. I previously had 100-200 minigrafts in my hairline 13 years ago.

The haircount was:
singles - 832
doubles - 1735
triples - 1283
quads - 38

Holy jabenero jalepenos ---that's a TON of grafts ! Looks as though your going to have TRUE density when all is said & done.
congrats.

Very agressive HT. Gonna be good.

Yea I was a bit shocked when Dr Rahal told me the final numbers. In the preop and online consultations he aimed for around 3000. He also told me the scar from my previously minigraft job back in 1996 was too high and he couldnt remove it.

You gonna be with 2 scars now?? Can you post a picture of your old scar?

Shamrock,

Unfortunately, sometimes previous scars are placed too low or too high and they can't be safely harvested. Thus, sometimes it's best to leave them where they are and take hair from where it's optimal.

It looks like you're going ot have an incredible result.

Are you on Propecia to help against future loss?

Best wishes,

Bill

almost 4000 graphs for the front third?! It will look good but you better hope your loss is stable and that you dont have too much further loss. Good luck tho!

Wow, that's gonna look great. You'll have plenty of grafts in reserve too with your donor density. Congrats.

4000 grafts in that small an area is very aggressive. He surely will have a thick full mane when all is said and done.

Shamrock, If you dont mind me asking... How old are you? Are you on med's to slow down the proccess of continual hairloss?, and did Dr. Rahal happen to mention how much donar you possibly have left?
