  1. I was seriously considering Dr Cinik i mean resent reviews here just look great and his pricing can't be beat but after searching around everything I could find on the good doctor i ran across this warning thread and discussion on baldtruthtalk from some dude LostSoldier detailing  his personal experience there which literally  just scared me off completely . 

    I don't think I'm allowed to post the link here so  just search  LostSoldier on baldtruthtalk if your interested 

  2. I'm strongly considering taking the plunge with Rahal sometime this year but for all his popularity I see very few resent results from him and next to none resent real life user reviews.  Here and there we get some posting from one of his associates  showing some ad based amazing before and after pictures or video posting but never see anything but his best 

    Just saying for the volume of patients this guy has I think there' should  be and wish there was more real user reviews around to help me feel confidence to go with  him is all

    Hey bro, do you know if you're consultation recommendations are actually from Dr Rahal and Dr Yaman themselves or members of their teams? From what I'm reading often times the recommendations are rough and when you meet the actual surgeons they have a varied opinion from what you originally get recommended, that's why I ask.

    Both said they ran it by the doctor and that was the doctors recommendation . If I chose to go with Rahal I definitely would take a trip up there to do a inperson consult before I commit to anything. 

     

  4. Just comparing 2 completely different doctors recommendations Dr. Resul Yaman vs Dr. Rahal and looking to get some discussion and feedback going on here 

    Dr.Rahal recommends doing only the front for now with 3k grafts and then goes on to recommend a SMP for the mid and crown area along with PRP  both of course at an added cost tipping the scales at around 20k USD ?

    Dr.Yaman recommends 4k spread across with 2k up front 1k mid and 1k crown at a total cost of about 5k USD PRP included ?

  5. Reading these 2 below threads got me wondering if anyone knows the difference  pros and cons between the two the devices  the DHI Choi pen which also seems to also  be offered by Dr Clinik vs Koray's KEEP ?

    Markee, I had 3 FUE procedures with Rahal - starting in 2014, 2k grafts to restore hairline, 2015 1.5k grafts to midscalp, and 2017 1k grafts toward rear and some crown but not full crown. I did post photos and my results on here, in fact, doing my research on here is how I went went Rahal, I did not want to do a strip procedure. I am from the NJ/NY area and originally consulted with Feller, but he offered no FUE option for my case. While I had to do it in stages with Rahal, I'm definitely happy with my decision, he's ethical and very conservative which is what I was looking for. I pay no attention to the marketing or consultants involved in the process, they are like independent contractors, and quite frankly, when you consult in person with Rahal the day before surgery, its never the same treatment plan as was prescribed by the consultant. 

    Home12312  Are the posts from your past procedures still kicking around you can point me to see ?

    I Cancelled my consult. Yes I did talk to James and he was great compared to Aaron. At that time I was close to already setting up a surgery date with another doctor. But honestly Aaron’s actions painted a big negative pic for me from the start. Secondly I didn’t like the fact that they wanted to do a Skype call with a patient coordinator and not the doc himself to review my hair loss with me.

    my complaint isn’t about rahal directly and I can’t speak about his work. But that Aaron guy... jeez...seemed like they brought him directly from a Filipino call center to do this job 

    JJ What did you do  who did you decide  to  go with ?

    Going in to hair restoration thinking you will be one and done is not the best way to go about things. It's likely you will require more surgeries down the line, especially since you still have a lot of hair to lose especially in the crown and midscalp.

    I have to agree with you about future loss in my case especially my mid scalp and crown area maybe  on the way out  but again almost everyone's hair loss is progressive and almost everyone may need or want  additional surgeries in there futures sooner or later.

    That being said  there are also countless surgeries done and posted right here where that first surgery  was preformed right and theirs absolutely no need to even have to consider a second procedure for a long long long time. 

    So as I search for the best option my expectations start right there I hope to get this done right the first time and not even have to think about additional surgeries for a long time to come. 

    Below  I've posted just a few links that quickly came to mind where just one procedure is all it took to get it right  and there are many many more and many started with much worse hair-loss then mine. 

    So I have to say If they can do it with a little help from my fellow hair-loss friends here hopefully so can I ?  :)

  8. First of all for me I not really a big fan of incremental procedures my hope is  to try get the job done and move on with my life not to go in already knowing upfront only part of  the job is getting done ?

    I really really don't want to have go  through this whole mess again after just a few years?

    Also something about this plan gives me the feeling like maybe this is part of a business model  to maximize profits  by focusing  on setting up the customer for some continual future revisions in the end costing upwards of 30 to 40k ?

    As for  the SMP it maybe a good idea looks wise  for my particular issue  but also adds to the feeling of more  incremental temporary solutions and maybe of some up sell going on there jack up the bill 

    SMP is also a hassle with some mandatory continual update procedures to maintain it 

    I want to make the  move get something done in 2019 still trying to find some better options 

    in the end with all cons I'm still  considering having him do it just having some problems getting on board is all 

    Maybe a pre-op inperson consult is a good idea ?

    I dunno if Rahal is still the hairline king but I do know his patient coordinator named Aaron Bugayong with the Filipino accent was hands down the most annoying person I have ever dealt with at a ht doctors office. He would call me in the middle of the afternoon during work hours and if I didn’t answer he would dial again and again. He would leave the same voicemail message for me and even called me by the wrong name once. This was all before I had even scheduled an appointment for a consultation. Then he would follow up with a cut and paste email telling me “WE WONT GIVE UP ON YOU WE WANT TO HELP YOU GET YOUR HAIR BACK.” 

     

    Horrible aggressive marketing strategy

     

     

    Yeah i delt with that guy  Aaron first contact back in Aug  then he transferred me over to some other dude James Freda he did my consult viewed me on cam took a day or 2 and they sent me there treatment plan after that I only heard from them one time asking me how I'm doing and if I  ready to schedule.  Replayed back told him still considering him against other doctors and asked him to  make me a deal I can't refuse :)

    So what did you wind up doing ?

    I want to get this done some time in 2019 just having trouble getting on -board with his particular doctors plan
