At four months, you will start to see some growth. But, If memory serves, at month six, you will really see it happening. And from that moment on, things will only get better and better! The thing though that really got to me about this whole experience, is the fact that people that saw me as this new growth was happening, never really clued in that new hair was growing on my head. They would just say things like " your looking good" etc. People don't notice that anything was done. Always found that funny lol

Yes you are going to see some results at the four month mark. Just be patient. I remember when I had my first procedure with doc Rahal how I used to look several times a day in the mirror looking for signs of growth lol. It will happen. No worries. You can take a look at my blog if you like from my first HT. It follows the whole month by month growth cycle pretty good (with pictures). Hope this helps. Sorry I don't know how to include a direct link to it for you. I will have to figure out how to do that. All the best!

I had three HT's with Dr Rahal over the last five years. I do remember being nervous when I had my first one (5600 graft FUT). But that quickly went away once I realized how professional the whole team was. I am very happy with the results. Don't worry to much. You're in good hands and I am sure you are going to be very happy with the results. All the best!

Hello GPS3 I just finished reading your posts. First time on line in a while now. I had three procedures with Dr Rahal ( two big FUTs and one small FUE touch procedure to add a little more density to the crown). Just wanted to take a moment to let you know that you are in good hands. I started out at the Norwood 6 level. I am very happy with the results. It has been 5 years now since my first procedure. Since then I have let my hair grow long, I've cut it really short and worn it everywhere in between. Personally speaking, I am extremely happy with my choice in Dr,s for my hair transplant. And yes, there are other wonderful dr,s out there but you can feel totally confident with your choice of docs for your upcoming procedure with dr Rahal. If you have any questions for me, you could also send me a PM and I will do my best to answer you as fast as I can. Cheers!

Congrats Cant Decide, I know this has been a long time waiting! Happy growing. All the best

Altdot, Hello, I just looked at your pictures. You are going to have a great result. You just can't go wrong with Dr. Rahal. I was in his chair for my second surgery in May of this year and received 2953 grafts to my crown (fut) and this after 5604 grafts to the front and top eleven months before that. I will be posting some follow up pictures soon. But as I look back now, I constantly say to myself this has been hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am sure once your results start to kick in a few months from now, you will be saying the same thing. All the best

I second your second comments Cant decide. Cheers to modern hair transplant techniques!

The only people that really know about my "transformation" are the people here on the HTN. Nobody has ever said anything. They really just don't notice. To people that know me, it's just me. They don't zoom into the fact that I have more hair. Case in point: today I was showing pictures of a trip I was on 10 years ago to some co-workers and nobody clued into the fact that I have more hair. I thought somebody would notice that I had a major receding and high hairline back then. But nope, nobody noticed. So to answer your question, the outcome is so natural that nobody notices that I have done anything. I am really the only person that notices! At least when it comes to the public.

Raphael84, Slickers, Cant decide, Thanks guys for the encouraging comments! Always a pleasure updating my progress. I will certainly keep you all up to date on how things progress during the next couple of months. And cheers to Dr. Rahal's skill as a fantastic and caring hair transplant physician. Regards Hairgoesnothing

Hello Slickers, As per your request, here are my four and a half months update pictures + one preop. Everything is going great! Regards Hairgoesnothing

Hello James, It was done 100% by the hands of the Master himself, Dr. Rahal. I used the word "clinic" just as a fancier way of saying his office. Both of my transplants were performed by Dr. Rahal at his Ottawa office. Regards

One of the things that attracted me in the first place to dr Rahal's clinic when I was originally considering having hair transplant surgery was the quality of his donor scars. On two occasions now, he has not let me down.

It started to grow back around the start of month three. By month four it was pretty much all gone. I have shock loss right now in the exact same location as my first surgery and just like my first round, it is now starting to grow back now that I am well into my third month. Regards

Thank you Mickey85. It is nice to hear that you have been following my blogs. HARIRI your right about the quality of Dr Umar's work. He does what he does well. But truth be told in this instance, Dr Rahal did such a wonderful job with this second donor scar (and my first) that I have not even considered ever having (or ever needing) any revision work done to it. There are doctors out there that can equal this work but none can surpass it. It just does not get any better than this. I could not be happier with the quality of his work.

Hello HARIRI, Good to hear from you. Just for the record, I had 8557 grafts all together :-) I made a mistake at the start of this post. This second HT was 2953 grafts, not 2970. Just wanted to clear that up. Either way, your right, it is a great looking scar. If one can ever say that about a scar! All the best and happy growing! Hairgoesnothing
