I find any kind of medication gives me wood.

I am not a fan of the widow's peak. I prefer Dr Rahal's rounded hairlines.
-
- mature hairline that is sustainable
- hairline that can gel up or lie flat
I'd say that is a home run

Trapps99,
- How did the work look? Can you post photos in a new thread so we can observe / provide feedback
- Is it possible they were just concentrating on doing a good job?
- What day of the week was your surgery (in case we want to avoid same day)
-
7mm wide scar is quite large. A scar revision, whilst adding a few more grafts at the same time might do the trick.

I reckon Mathew McConaughey has had one ...

Is it photo time yet?
We are all dying for updates ...

Or if you want someone local, send Feriduni an email. (Belgium).
I love that guys work.

Dr Rahal (Canada) does 3,500 FUT for around $14,690 CAD, which equates to 9,200 Pounds.
Add in 1,500 for airfaire plus 700 for accomodation and you are still miles ahead.

Cheers guys ...
Not really expecting "expert" answers here, just wanting some personal preferences from people who have had HT experiences as to what they found good & bad about their approach.
I was quoted 3,500 grafts as I said I wanted the front 1/3 reconstructed. I will also need some midscalp thickening up at a later date. My personal preference is to break it up into 3 x 2,000 instalments. If this is a dumb approach, I'd be happy to hear why.
I'm not a fan of cutting high up behind the ear. Is there a reason why they do this.
Is there a risk of scars stretching if you take a thicker slice of 20cm x 1.5cm Vs a longer slice of 35cm x 1cm.

hey hadenuf,
nice hairline tweak. I think it is going to look really nice.
Did Dr Rahal indicate how many FUE grafts you had avail for future use?
-
louispoker1,
If you are not balding/thinning (and you are only 20) then perhaps you could wait a few years and see how things develop ...
-
$10 is fine if it is a small job, say 200 grafts (postage stamp jobs).
There has to be a minimum fee in there somewhere to cover the malpractice insurance, and the opportunity cost of missing out on a larger job.
However above 1,000 grafts you'd expect it to be on a sliding scale.
I've had FUE quotes ranging from $8.75 (1,000 grafts) down to $6 for the larger jobs (for grafts above 2,000).
-
Big fan of the T&D zig-zag, wavey hairline approach.
-
The grey hair sitting on top of the black hairs actually gives it a layered / wave / thickening up effect.
He'll get laid with that hair!
-
I like:
- the jagged hairline
- the triangle tie in at the temple
-
I am wondering what is the best strategy is in terms of hair transplant surgeries.
- Is it better to have multiple / smaller surgeries
- Are 2 large surgeries a better result, get it over with quicker
Assumptions:
- total grafts required 6,500
- cost not a problem
- both FUT & FUE are acceptible to patient
Questions:
- is it really a good idea to be cutting up behind the ear?
-
I'm still yet to be convinced that slicing one's head open is a good thing ...

Thanks Blake,
I've always had stiff neck problems at the base of the rear hairline, so was concerned at what area was being cut.
I have seen numerous scars photos, and hundreds of fabulous +12 month results from all the forums and patient websites.
I had eye lasik surgery at the start of the year, and did minimal research (waited for a friend to get theirs done first) and had a fabulous result.
I have done massive HT research and it could be a case of over analysis = paralysis as I simply can't commit to going ahead just yet.
Strip surgery to me, still seems rather barbaric !
FUE is ridiculously over-priced (lets charge double as I have to work an extra 2 hours) and destroys the donor zone rather quickly.
-
Did Dr Rahal say how many grafts would be needed in the crown area that he didn't work on?
-
Has anyone had any complications from undergoing strip surgery?
Is it only cutting in at the skin level or does it cut deeper to the neck muscles ?
I have seen the photo's Dr Lindsey puts up and they look quite brutal when you see the open wound.
-
Born, your FUE results look great.
Did Dr Rahal tell you how many grafts you would be able to get out of your donor over a lifetime?
Also, is your hair died black in the photos or or are you that lucky to have such dark hair?
-
He might need to grow his hair out.
The 12 month results after the first HT looked sensational ... to the point that I didn't think a 2nd HT was necessary.
