Hi just to let you all know that I am pleased with the results thus far however learning that it is a slow procces but I am happy with how it is looking. The scar line is healing well, one side is taking slightly longer to heal but again I am happy with how it is looking.

Sorry not to have posted more but due to work commitments have been very busy. Well looking at some of the photos you will see that a lot has changed in the 1st month alone so awaiting the months and results now.

Well I am very happy with the service and results I had. I have not taken loads of pics due to not having much battery left on my phone. So I will give a little description of the day and days after. Left hotel about 6.30 to make sure I'am at clinic for 7.30am. Get there and do the paperwork. Dr Rahal draws on his plan and we agree that ok. So having get the injections (a little discomfort but def no pain at all). The worse part is hearing the strip being cut out which will remain with me for a long time. So all I can describe the pain threashold as being as if someone ihas a helmet on your head and someone is pressing down on it and thats it. 15.00 op finshed and bit of food and stand up and a little unsteady but able to walk to the toilet ok. That night had medium pain strength pain killers and had a patchy sleep. Day after went back to clinic and had ht looked at, Dr Rahal said everything looked good so very happy with that. Having to wear a surgical hat is embarrising so not going out in public but could have it wanted to. The next couple of nights sleeping got a lot better but again patchy so havent had a perfect sleep till last night (Sat) 3days after the opp. Swelling came more prevalient on the 3rd day but due to flying back which would'nt have helped. The days after could'nt feel any so thought I was not going to get any but it has come up. Scar and head looks ok and no pain but just a feeling equivelent to having a bunged up headache with a cold. Just cant wait to have the stiches out now so scar not so noticable. I am loving looking at the result in the mirror and very happy at the moment with my decision to go ahead only problem when they shed be gutted but I know its part of the process so just can't wait for the next few months to go by.

I would say that there are not many good ht surgeon's in Britain. Look on this site and any others. You prob with have to go abroad with North America having the best surgeons with the homework I have done. Just make sure you do your homework and look at pic's of work of the surgeon you intend to go with. Did you pay on a Credit card?The only way to do it really. Good luck

I sent pictures in about 2years ago and had a estimate/treatment pack with approx price and number of graphs. I am a norwood 5. I did not have it in person as distance was a problem and having the operation in Ottawa (where I believe all Dr Rahal does all his work). Some advice that the price had gone up 1350 cad which I had not accounted for and for the pre medical its a lot of going to doctor/hospitals/price involved(£300) so be prepared. Saying that as I was a substitute and lucky to get the date the stress involved in a short time frame is avoided if you have months to the operation date. Hope this helps. Have you got any idea's yet on who you will chose?

Hi Maybe123, After years of research and reading blogs, looking at photos of the work of Dr Rahal I knew this was the surgeon for me. I have not looked into H+W that much but there seems to be a lot of good reports so I would say that they are as good as each other. For me the people that have said that the clinic has taken them back to the hotel after their operations is a quality which I am impressed by. There have been blogs which compare the both of them and everyone seems to agree that they are both the best in their field. Both have positives and price comparisons are not really true unless you have had a HT with them both. The professionalism I have encountered so far has been top class and really accommodating to my circumstances. I can only really recommend Dr Rahal 6-9months down the line but I'm putting a large amount of money on him so that really speaks volumes. End of the day has long as your happy with the results thats what we(forum members)are hoping to archive and by looking through these forums and doing your homework I'm sure you will make the correct choice for you. Good luck and I will update my blog with info as I go through the process.

Hi everyone, Well this HT has been many years in the planning. I have done my homework and decided that through online forum's and pictures that Dr Rahal would be my surgeon of choice. I have been losing my hair since the age of 23/24 and now at 39 think with the procedure being done on regular basis and the levels of results being so good that now or never. Over the years I have felt my self-esteem fall and from being a happy go lucky person I am now very self concious about my hair. I have done my homework and know about what to expect and what time-frame do expect results. I am quite lucky as I can wear a hat for the next couple of months and have no shame in admiting I have had an operation. I live in Wales (Uk) My operation is booked for the end of April so in 7 weeks time I shall be in Canada having the HT. I shall post photos in the next week or so. I am having FUT for 4000g. Any advice/questions please post. Adrian
