So I suppose Dr.Rahal hit the laterals on you at about 38 grafts back mid scalp?

Dr. Rahal, as most docs on here, end up getting more grafts than quoted. You are in an amazing set of hands! Great luck to you!

You are in great hands!!

When you meet with Dr. Rahal, come up with a game plan for your HT. Do you want one large HT to rebuild the hairline and then place some coverage in the crown? Do you want two large surgeries, one in which you build up a strong hairline/front half and then a second where you build up the crown?

Dr. Rahal will advise you on his professional opinion, but will also work with what you want. Definitely come up with a strategy with him

With your level of loss, I would personally do two large sessions--I know one session would be preferable--again work this out with Dr. Rahal. Anyway, one to rebuild the front half first, then a second one to build the crown. That way you will have an amazing hairline and strong front half. The crown can be filled in later, as long as you remember that the crown can be a "black hole" for grafts (a lot can be used up there)...that is why I would start with the front, which is how most people see you first.

Nomorehats
You are gonna do great...you are in the best hands with Dr Rahal...let me tell you something about him..he is a GREAT guy, but on the morning of surgery, he is all business...he runs a well oiled machine..I just had over 4800 grafts from him 3 weeks ago today!!He and his staff work in unison and never miss a beat...from him doing the harvesting and incision holes to the cutters and planters doing their jobs...it was great!!! Now, post op, expect some swelling and minor discomfort..however, like you said, you live in Ottawa and I would go see Mike everyday for at least a week for my post op cleaning...good luck and keep us posted!!
