Hello Everyone,

After 4 years looking at this forum and others, I finally took the plunge and ultimatly decided with Dr. Rahal seeking to obtain those amazing hairline we see in his patient pictures.

Adrian was superb in helping in coping with this surgery and explain in detail what was going to happen.

The procedure was over after 7hours and I must thank his wonderfull staff for putting up with me. Thank you the Alana`s team!

The initial estimate was 2500 then after the consult the Dr. bumped it up to 3000.

With existing hair I ended up with up to 75graft/cm in front and:

642 - Ones
1975 - Twos
789 - Threes
19 - Fours

Total: 3425 grafts/ 7035 hairs.

Dr. Rahal is a true professional and really put me at easy during the procedure.
He checked up on me the whole time and was allways a phone call away.

So, I expect amazing results and will be updating this album.

Cheers.

Portugal25

Portugal25,

Congratulations on your recent hair transplant with an elite hair transplant surgeon.

The first few days are the hardest dealing with some minor pain and tightness, but by the time you get your sutures/staples removed, you will be in pretty good shape and then the wait begins!

I hope you'll keep us updated on your progress.

Best wishes,

Bill

Over 3,400 grafts (in that area) and 75 per square cm in the hair line?...WoAH!!!
You are going to have one formidable mop my friend! Can't wait to see this baby grown out, congrats!

Four years on the forum, eh? That makes me feel somewhat better about having not had a ht yet! You averaged about one post a year (?)...

Thanks for the comments guys and I too hope this procedure works out giving me a stylish hairdo!

Will be taking the stiches out this Wednesday after 12 days and giving the rest of my hair the buzz it needs!

I have posted my 12 Day pictures and I don?‚??t know if they are any good but here`s hoping!

Good for you too wait Jupiter as I did the same and still Dr. Rahal had to be ethical about my procedure due to my age.

Thanks again for your comments!

Portugal,

how old are you (25 ?) and are you on any meds? If so, have they done anything positive or negative for you?

I went on Propecia for almost 10 months but it was to hard to get used to take a pill every day and eventually I gave it up but when I did, I lost an insane aumount of hair. Will never use that stuff again!

I used Rogaine but it keept making my hair looking oily and therefore showing off my baldness so I gave that up to.

Gonna start Rogaine again for 12 months to increase blood flow and get my grafts growing faster.

Wish you the best when you go for your transplant.

Cheers.
