3499 FUT w/ Dr Rahal - 10 Month update
Jacob1989 replied to Jacob1989's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
It was originally suppose to be 56/sq.cm but with extra grafts added it was increased to 60/sq.cm. Slick Rick - do you have any pictures of your results?. You are only at 8.5 months and you will see a good amount of maturing over the next couple of months. It's strange because you forget that the hair is still growing, you'll start to see more density as the months go on. Can't Decide - I also agree about the light in which pictures are taken and with everything you have said. Pictures can be hard to judge from. I take my pictures in Natural light as you tend to see a true result that way. I sometimes even think myself that i wish it was slightly thicker but then i remember i'm in a much better position than i was before. Unfortunately i'm likely to need another HT in the future due to my age and the level i was at however i've come to terms with that and for now i'm trying to enjoy what i have and be as pro active as possibe. I shall get some more pictures posted in the next couple of days with different angles and in different lights. Jacob -
3499 FUT w/ Dr Rahal - 10 Month update

Thanks for the kind comments guys, i am really pleased with the results. Definitely feeling much more positive now and less worried about my hair!. It's possible i could need another HT in the future due to my age however that's no problem and for now i'm enjoying these results!. I shall take some better photo's soon and at various angles. I'll update it to this blog once i've done so. Thanks Jacob -
Hi Everyone Here is the link to my 10 month update if you are interested in seeing the 10 month result from my HT with Dr Rahal. Hair Restoration Journal for thegeneral - 10 Months I am very pleased with the results!, feel free to leave any questions or comments about the results. I shall write a more detailed write up on my 1 year mark. Jacob

So I’m really just interested in what people have tried in regards to products that help your hair. As anyone who has done the research would know that 90% of hair loss products on the market are false and do nothing. I had a HT with Dr Rahal, I’m on the 7 month mark and currently take the following: Propecia, Bioton, MSM, Vitamin E, Iron Vitamins, Biotin hair conditioner. They seem to work well for me especially the Biotin Hair conditioner. So this is really just a thread to see what people recommended?, does anyone know of any products you apply to your hair such as oils which can be positive on the scalp? Let me know your thoughts

Hi Guys, Thanks for the kind comments, i'm very pleased with the result so far!. I got my hair cut today so here is a new picture.. without any toppik!.

Hi Guys :cool: So it's been a while since i done an update, i guess i've been enjoying this new hair! :eek: See my blog for a 6 & 7 month update! Jacob. Hair Restoration Site for thegeneral

Was wondering when you'd update! have to say what an awesome result!. I'm on 6 months with Rahal, looking forward to being at your stage hopefully!

Nice to see a good result coming from the UK. The hairline drawn actually looks lower than i expect to see however the results are the important thing and it's looking great. P.S Either you have a tiny head or his hands are huge :eek:

Best results with least number of grafts?
Jacob1989 replied to Quiff01's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Do you have any photo's? Im also from the UK and i would not suggest getting a HT in the UK... you only have to look at Rooneys hair who went to Harley Street to realise the UK offers poor hair surgeons (in my opinion). Do not be put off to travel, if your looking for a good result then travelling should not be a problem. I went to Dr Rahal (Canada), in my opinion he is the best. I enjoyed Canada afew days before my HT and currently 3.5 months post op but can see things are going well. I'd research as much as you can and consider your options. -
3 month update from my surgery with Dr Rahal
Jacob1989 replied to keithh's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looking good, plenty more growth to come through.. This looks very much like Wayne Rooney -
Hi Everyone, So im officially at the 3 month mark and i thought i would do a write up which you can check out at: Hair Restoration Journal for thegeneral - 3 Month Update Feeling pretty good at the moment, always nice to know your hair is growing instead of going im hoping it keeps growing more and more now, getting sick of wearing a baseball cap! but hopefully wont be long before i can ditch it. Anyway please take a look, i would do a more detailed write up but i think i cover the majority of things on my site. Any questions feel free to ask! Oh and please the note that i have wet hair in the 3 month picture. J :cool:

Thanks Hariri.. Im just over the 2 month mark now and do see some growth but nothing massively exciting yet. I shall do an update soon for you all to see.

No it does not mean that, it means that i have 60% donor at the back of my head for future use if i lose any hair in the crown area.
