I'm sure he took many factors into account including donor capacity, pattern of loss, and age. If the patient was 23 I might agree about his youth but at 33 his pattern of loss is becoming more apparent. He's an ethical surgeon and plans for the future. Most guys on this forum would never be able to get this result because most guys don't have this minimal loss, graft thickness, or donor capacity that this patient does. It's a skill to tailor your surgical plan to each individual patient that not all hair restoration surgeons excel at. Dr Konior certainly does and must have deemed this patient as a good candidate for a dense restoration at this level. 

hair loss can occur at any age though

but if the patient's family history is good then its probably ok to go dense/aggressive

years later, im still amazed by this result

[...]However, the selective use of aggressive hairline restoration can provide long term satisfaction to those who truly desire that appearance.

With respect to the comments of Mr. Hassler, I question his rational in believing that every man with an early pattern will progress to an advanced pattern as I have many long term patients over a 30 year career who have never progressed beyond a lower graft classification. I question the comment that this patient will eventually look odd as I have many patients with lower classifications who have been restored to a more youthful hairline position while looking quite good for decades. I question the comment regarding donor usage as this becomes a moot point if the pattern does not progress substantially. Finally, I find the assertion of encouraging aggressive hairline restoration in a haphazard fashion to be rather bold in consideration of the detail our practice has historically placed and continues to place on patient assessment and education.

Hi Doctor K

If the patient has parents, siblings, etc. who are bald  - wouldnt it be risky to pursue this aggressive hairline?

bump for one of the best temple work ever

sry to resurrect an old thread

nice result! if the patient wanted to further thicken the temple corners, would it be possible? it's all implanted hair so would it be susceptible to permanent shock loss?

fue or fut? ty

so rahal is not recommended for FUE?

Hasn't Rahal had good FUE results too though?

I'd rather not go to Europe for a HT but it's definitely an option...

Is Rahal good at temporal peak restoration?

any update?

does dr b do his own extractions?

Hi all,

I haven't heard much about Rahal lately (over on another forum). No recent surgeries.

Is he still relevant?

I read a post from someone that Lupunzula is good at FUE. He reps him tho.

Who is better at FUE?

this guy never posted the final result?

How is FUE better than FUT at giving a 'natural' look? Doesn't FUE have higher transection chance?

hey win,

how much do you find yourself shedding on a daily basis (in between transplants i mean), like your native hair.

ive been on fin for 9 months, and considering rahal

Hi all,

I was thinking about a procedure with Dr. Rahal.

However, I came across some bad cases (HARIRI, Sean, etc.).

Then I was thinking of Hasson & Wong. Similarly, I came across bad results.

Ditto for Feriduni, Feller, etc. etc.

Seems like every HT doc has some bad cases.

How does a prospective client screen a doc for red flags? I don't want to get trapped into a vicious cycle of transplants and repairs and blah blah.

My hair loss is minimal but bothersome and I wouldn't need a large transplant at all. I'm on Fin for the long-term as well and considering Dut.

Good result.

Broad question though: Is Dr. Rahal still good at doing FUE? Seems like a lot of his results lately are FUT.

seanfue

hariri

some other guy whose name i forgot

It looks like he has had shock loss.

Time will tell.

More and more though, I feel like Dr. Rahal's results seem sub-par. He has good PR though.

bump

any updates?

thanks for the reply

i see.

so lets say it halts hair loss in a given area: does this 'halting' effect mean that if we have a miniaturized hair, it will remain miniaturized but will not die off so long as we're on fin?

Hi all,

Here's my question: If we have recently shed a lot of hair and THEN begin Propecia, can Propecia eventually reverse the miniaturization of those recently shed hairs?

ty!
