Hi guys. Really need some help. I'm set on going with Dr Rahal and Matt has helped me soooo much thus far. The problem is my visa. Do I have to buy my airline tickets first before applying for the visa? What happens if for some reason the visa is denied, then I would be stuck with tickets and can't use them. I'm super-new to all this, I only got my passport last month in fact. Any help on anyone who applied for a visa before please!!!

Bronte, can you tell me how much your accommodation is per night? I'm assuming you will be staying at Dr Rahal's guesthouse? I'm trying to get pricing on everything. Also, did you need a visa or any extra papers?

Cant decide, you are a star!!! After sending a mail to that address Matt found me again lol. He gave me an excellent breakdown and quote. So guys, I need your help. I think I'm set on either Dr Rahal or Dr Hasson. Dr Hasson's price is abit more and Dr Rahal offered a discount that's double that of Hasson & Wong ($800). I'm leaning towards Dr Rahal due to the fact that cost is a factor for me, I live in South Africa and when converting to Canadian dollars it's a big difference!!! I know they are both top notch doctor's so it's not like either one is a bad choice. I'd like to know, do you guys think Dr Rahal is a good choice for a dense hairline? I'm having +-2000 FUT grafts done. I'm not looking for a school-boy hairline, I just want density in the frontal area and temples. Please share your thoughts. Thanks guys.

Hi guys. Anyone know how to get in touch with Dr Rahal? I emailed matt and he initially helped me but hasn't come back to me in a few days now. I already got quotes from Dr Feller and Dr Hasson, but I can't seem to get a hold of matt from Rahal Hair Tranplants. Anyone know an alternate email I can use? The Rahal website has no "contact us" page, just the schedule an appointment page.

Thanks 1978matt. Anyone else with some good advice? Oh and does anyone know what I require in terms of visa and things if coming to New York or to Canada? Or any hidden costs/taxes on these procedures? Thanks again.

Hi guys. I'm super-new to this forum, but have been reading posts on it for a good few months now, so I decided to join to get advice. I'll be 27 this year and I'm from South Africa and had a minor transplant in my country last year to try and help with my thinning forelock and receding temples. I did it mainly due to convenience and thinking going overseas would be too much. I had 800 grafts via strip procedure. It helped add a bit of hair around the forelock but didn't really give any reasonable density (the clinic I went to only does 800 grafts at a time). So after MUCH research, I decided to go abroad when I have my next procedure (hopefully this year sometime). I've basically narrowed my choices to these: - Dr Rahal - Dr Feller - Hasson & Wong I'm looking for advice from you guys in who to go with. I know they are all excellent, but please see my pics and advise me if you can. I have a forelock that has hair but its thin and I'm worried if whether I'd lose most of my natural forelock hair due to shock loss or damage due to the transplanted grafts cutting into them. I basically want a dense hairline by adding to the hair I have in the forelock and filling in the temple areas better. I'm fine with a strip procedure as my donor area is pretty thick. How many grafts would you guys think I'd need? I contacted spex and he said around 1800 - 2000 grafts should be good. I'd also like to know if anybody knows the travel discount that Hasson & Wong offer for international patients. Thanks.
