Man honestly idk what to think at the moment. Going to see him next week but im pretty stressed about whether this is fixable. I really don’t know why i didn’t push farther for more recession, i really hope its correctable and i can just move on because 7 months later, my situation is probably worse off than before
You’re not in a worse position mate, regardless of how much more this improves or doesn’t improve, you have hair where you didn’t before, you’re one step closer to your end goal and one more procedure will see you reach your goal. However if this doesn’t improve I certainly wouldn’t be returning to rahal for a repair, free or not

rahal does have strong marketing, but so do so many others on this forum. I'd say the only surgeon who could care less and has more business than anyone is konior and that speaks volumes. Again, obviously rahal is a great surgeon, but there is more to a surgery like this than just the surgeon...
On his day rahal is top class I agree, he’s just not consistant enough for me when compared to hasson, konior, Lorenzo etc. And yeah that could be down to what techs are working on that day. I’ve been to hasson over a period of 8 years or more and there is unbelievable consistency in staff with very little staff turnaround, and I honestly have just as much faith in them as the doc

Totally agree with the marketing comment. Tbh I’ve always hated the arrogance of the self proclamation of being the “hairline king”, always been a turn off with rahal for me. He has some great results, but also a lot of not so great results, for me personally he lacks the consistency to be one of the top surgeons, but that’s just my opinion

I have a feeling Lit won’t just stop posting if this isn’t a success as many rahal patient mysteriously do when things don’t seem to be going right. And I’m with you, I’m not about to go back to a surgeon if they failed the first time.
having said that 6 months is early days so I’m hoping things turn around for you

There are many in India and the their is a cost variation from clinic to clinic. You must choose your surgeon wisely without considering cost as the first priority.
Ru in the wrong thread?😂

This isn't a sub par result becuase no result has been shown or reported. 4 months and 3 weeks was his last update and that is hardly an outcome.
Im not defending the clinic, but to call this particular result subpar really isnt fair IMO.
Tbh I meant to quote this this thread:
my bad, there have been a few on here lately where the results (even though early) have been questionable and all of a sullen the OP disappears, just wondering what’s going on that’s all

Weird how sub par rahal results get quiet real quick 🤔

Have any close ups of just the transplanted area with the rest of hr hair pushed away? I had mine on aug 9th
Why haven’t/won’t you post pics mate? People can give you input as to where you are rather than trying to compare your hair to everyone else’s

Just wanted to say that your results are incredible.... And that I hate you...lol.
Hoping one day I'll be touched by Rahal's hands.
Hasson not rahal for me mate😂

Some above posters do make a good point in the before and after photos being different due to wet/ dry hair, is this the norm?
It should be standardised imo, completely unfair comparison

I bet the before looks good dry...

I would guess it’s both. Using concealers before the result grows in. It’s not like he can’t afford it, he has the down time, can’t see him wanting to forever be using concealers to the extent he obviously is and Gordon Ramsey who is a very close friend of his has also had FUE. When you couple all of this with a recent grade zero cut and the use of a hat followed by the use of concealers, it’s gitta be 6 months since and I’d say his results are starting to grow in since the use of concealers is a lot less obvious

It’s not a Norwood 1, you can see that from the outline of the hairline in the post op shot. Also the after result is just from one angle.
its a massive life changing improvement butbtgis isn’t out of the ordinary for a HT result imo

Just checked his IG and either way his hair is on point!
I'm not convinced he had a procedure done--changing looks appear to be a combination of styling and/or concealers.
Dude reminds me of the following saying: "Men age like whisky, women age like milk" lol.
He’s 100% using concealer these days, I can’t imagine him wanting to use it forever and shaving his head would be been the perfect opportunity to take care of it. He was also wearing a hat for a while before those holiday pics.

Those lines seem reasonable. I would get some grafts punched out on the left corner as they are too pluggy.
Konior, Gabel, Nadimi, Cooley, Shapiro MG, Bisanga are the only names you need.
Disagree, I don’t think it looks at all pluggy

I don’t think u could have made more of a better choice with your design. Looks amazing and in you’re own words u can pull off any style u want!
Appreciate it mate! Thank you!

@1978matt have you posted any results from your second transplant yet? If so, link me to the thread. Your first procedure was epic

Lewis Hamilton wears some kind of system when out and about. During races it appears his hatural hair which is really quite thin.
Andros Townsend has clearly done something which I suspect is a high quality system. It appears too dense to be natural and with no signs of donor depletion or scars.
Beckham has been using concealers for years and shows no evidence of transplants. He's got quite fine hair which comes across as thin when it's short and in harsh light. He's probably on finasteride.
I’m not so sure, Beckham reps didn’t deny a hair transplant when asked directly about it a few months ago, they just said it was a matter he water to keep private.
hamiltons hair, whilst looking thinner after raves due to the helmet and sweat still looks a lot more dense than a few year back, so while he may wear a system to events (I’m not too sure about this), he has defiantly had some work done

I read back my post and think it came across in a way I did not intend or that others may see as hating on your hair transplant/being jealous of it.
i honestly feel like this is best case scenario for most of us getting a transplant.. especially guys like us in our mid thirties.
I also went back and looked at all the pictures and I feel as if it looks great in all the pictures.
i just wanted to say that your results look perfect now and don’t go beyond that as it might be risky.
however, seems this may have been said before in your initial thread/previous hair transplant and your results got better.
Enjoy the hair. Looks amazing.
I didn’t take it that way at all mate, honestly, like I said it’s all about personal preference, I just felt like a flatter hairline gives me far more styling options

You’re one of the few guys I see with impecabble hair. I mean even if I didn’t know you had surgery I would be thinking you have good hair. Variations in style is cool too from the pomp to the forward quiff, they all look good 👍🏼
Thanks mate, I think that’s what this last surgery has afforded me, I feel confident with any style I fancy at this point, I don’t feel like I’m styling it to cover up anything, which is exactly where I always wanted to get to. Even though I had density prior to this I still felt I was restricted to certain styles, I think that was more down to me suffering recession at such a young age and that having a profound affect on me, I’m very happy and comfortable with where I’m at right now though, and I’ve been told I have 4000 FUE grafts left for a rainy day if needed a few years down the line, hopefully I won’t nees them though

Amazing... I feel the hairline is almost too perfect tho. Most surgeons I’ve been in contact with stray away from having the hairline being too straight across and even, and risk shock loss. You got just about the perfect result but a close call lol.
It definitely doesn’t have a wig like effect but it is a few percent off being too perfect. Lol.
its like the guy or girl who gets filler, Botox and a nose job that’s too perfect - no wrinkles, no lines, perfectly symmetrical.
Sometimes a little imprecation actually makes you look more human and attractive.
you definitely look amazing but you don’t need to get any further work at this point or it could look like a pure hair transplant/fake.
Lol I don’t feel that this is hating, you’re entitled to your opinion, it’s all good. I think hairline design preference is down to the individual, I kinda wanted a flatter, broader hairline as I wanted the slick back kinda style, and prior to the last surgery, I felt I looked too recessed to pull it off, it’s pretty much exactly where I want to be, so I’m happy, I realise it may not be everyone’s preference, but I’m ok with that

Sounds like an infomercial😂 chill out mate I’m entitled to my opinion, not trying to get under anyone’s skin. Bottom line whether it’s rahal or whoever it is if they fail to get even a 50% yield (I realise I’m this case it’s far to early to tell) then I wouldn’t be going back to them. There are also a few threads where things appear to have been going less than optimal and then they disappear, wasn’t making any accusations, just wondering why this was. And as far as consistency, maybe it’s the cross sections of threads that I’ve seen, but they’re either out of this world good or sub par, to me that’s not consistant, that’s all I’m saying. I’ve always said that on his day rahal produces great results, but personally I wouldn’t put my faith in him, not saying anyone else shouldn’t, but we are all big boys and can make our own mind up and can have our own opinions, really no need to go into so much detail personally addressing me
also how many times can you say it’s a success but it’ll look thin? Sounds to me like Lit wasn’t told about any issues with it being thin until after the procedure, and knowing the guy he is wouldn’t have agreed to a surgery if it was mentioned pre op it would be thin. Informed consent only works pre not post surgery
