NEWHAIRPLEASE

Spanker You and Dr Konior both make me sick!!! You with your great hair and Dr Konior with his great skill and artistic touch!!! Your hair looks great man....NICE job Dr Konior!!!

I gave up on that guy a while back when he started it with me...

NO WAY...would I carry a large amount of money overseas!!!

Pics are too bad to really even guess...

Best advice you can get!

A cure could very likely be 3X as expensive or more than current hair transplants...also, a cure could be an ongoing thing...like..once every 2-5 years have this done... Most likely surgeons are probably safe for a LONG time...

Don't get caught up to much in the Acell or Prp. Yes, it serves its purpose I guess but NO WAY does it regenerate your donor area. When you take from donor area, it's gone! Until cloning comes along anyway but don't hold your breath on that either.

I'd probably bang out one more FUT then man. I know the thought of it kinda sucks, but you wanna get the biggest bang for your buck when you are truly talking of that precious donor supply!!!

1000 grafts will probably be a drop in the bucket. You cannot waste grafts on the hairline! You can sure waste them in the crown but not the hairline, within reason! This is the thing though, you may think you only need 1000, Dr Rahal may think you need 2500 in the hairline. Of course he will take your age, future loss, current level of miniturazation all into account. Do you mind posting pics? This site is great, but you will get much better responses from much more credible posters than me with pics....ie Spex, Jotronic, Mattj, Mattz to name a few

How many grafts total have you used FUT?

You can't go wrong with ANY of those doctors you have listed. You will find a lot of people on here tell you Dr Rahal is " king of the hairline" ! I'm not gonna tell you differently. He is!!! However, from experience with Dr Rahal I had FUT. I'm cometely satisfied with my results at this point. I do think Dr Rahal is getting much better results from FUT vs FUE. How many grafts do you think you need?? That would be a big part of the decision making process for me if I were you. If you need 2000 plus, I would strongly consider FUT. Can you post some pics ?

Native I remember that strip recovery. I had a huge megasession. 4800 Grafts. Dr Rahal told me after I still had 4000 grafts left pretty easily. I thought at that time the thought of another strip surgery sounded like I would never do it again. But, after my results, I would never do FUE until I was stripped out. I think of it as I've been told how some women think of child birth. You know, while its happening they say never again but after the baby they say it wasn't that bad. Truth be told, the worst part for me was the no sleep. The sleeping elevated to reduce the swelling. The constant worrying about messing up one single graft. The actually surgery was LONG....approx 13 hours for me. However, after my results, I wouldn't consider anything other than FUT until I was out of strip options.

HUGE difference for me was between 3.5 months and then just 2 weeks later at 4 months!!! You are in for BIG surprises!!!

The only Doctor I know on here that does not do his own ' sticks " is Dr Limmer... He still has great results....

Looks great..

DONT go to Armani!!! Thats my opinion....what happened with Dr Rahal?

Yes, you will benefit greatly from meds if this is the beginning of MPB...

Unfortunately..that looks like the beginning of MPB to me...very similar to the way my pattern started.

I wouldnt think so...not unless you are wearing it like a tourniquet..however, MAKE SURE the hat does not have contact with the grafts..

Good luck. Great choice. Rest plenty before because its so hard to rest afterward. Or at least it was for me. Scared of hurting donor area and grafts. Sleeping on an incline to reduce swelling. Rest up now! Good luck.

Great to hear! Everyone here knows Dr Konior one of my favorites. Including him. One thing, I'm sure you did, but check with Dr K about using concealers that early after a transplant.

Nice write up! Dr Rahal is great! He changed my life with his work. I don't know Chad. I dealt with Kara and Mike. They were both great. Dude, your hair already looked excellent. Your results are gonna be rediculously great!

Okay Aaron I've waited to post because I've been trying to figure out if I like the long hair. I really think your hair looks great spiked and short with the messed up look. Having said that....I really have started to like the long hair as well. Isn't it nice to have these options available!!! Your hair really looks good man. You should be proud!

You picked a great doctor...I had pretty bad shock till about 2 months...It went away very quick after that. Had you had any previous work...I thought the same thing about the length of the scar and only 1700 grafts...Thats why I was asking about previous work..anyway, the shock will go away.

Go to Dr Rahal. Less than an hour away!
