Congrats - amazing result

Hi everyone. FUT or FUE? I've been following this forum for years. Surgeons I'm considering: Dr. Konior, Dr. Nadimi, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Rahal. Loss seems to be pretty stable. Have been on fin for 7 years. Really considering it may be time for me to have a procedure done. I think early-mid 30s seem like a reasonable time. Goals are to bring the hairline down slightly, close up temple points, and reduce size of forehead. I don't need a teenagers hairline. Just want to reduce forehead size/appearance of recession. Would FUT from a top surgeon using a Trichophytic closure be better than FUE? As you can see, I have fairly dense, thick hair.

Great results! Thoughts on Dr. Konior vs Dr. Nadimi? Looking to book with Dr. K ideally. Others on my shortlist are Dr. Gabel, Dr. Rahal, and Dr. Hasson

Thanks for looking through so quickly. And correct - just the hairline/front of the scalp. My goal is to lower/restore my hairline so that it frames my face better and reduces the size of my forehead. I started losing hair at the age of 19. I got on finasteride when I was 24 years old, and my hairline has essentially been the same since then. I'm 31 years old now, so about 7 years of responding well to the medication and maintaining my hairline. I've uploaded a picture of what the back of my head looks like - best I could do with being by myself but it's there. Would you be able to provide an estimation or quote off of these photos? On my shortlist of surgeons I have: Rahal, Konior, H&W, and Gabel.

Hello Rahal Hair Transplant, I'm interested in FUT primarily due to the results that I have seen with it, as well as cost as a factor. I'm 31 years old, have been on finasteride since I was 24 and have had stable hair loss ever since. I've been waiting to age before pulling the plug on a hair transplant. I posted earlier in the week. I've seen great FUT results come out of your clinic. Linked is another thread where I posted photos. Would you mind taking a look and giving a recommendation?

Considering an FUT procedure. If I were to go for this procedure, I understand scalp elasticity is important for this procedure. Is there a way to reliably measure this?

I suppose I'll load some photos up. Keep in mind that my hair is likely "fine as is" - I'd really like to lower my hairline and shorten how large my forehead as grown due to recession. I know I look perfectly fine as is. Just want to improve my appearance further. Thinking I'm likely a NWIII?

Would you mind posting photos, or a link if you've tracked your journey on here? Perhaps I should consider FUE. My biggest goal is to have a great hairline that frames my face and looks natural.

Interesting, didn't realize that Rahal no longer does FUT. At the same time - is the market demand also because the surgeons can charge so much more for FUE vs FUT? Seems like more of a money maker compared to FUT for the clinics.

Hey y'all. Title is pretty obvious. I'm 31, and have been on fin since I was 24. I've noticed a little recession over the past 7 years, but everything is fairly stable. Back when I started this journey, I was in the military. I'm now off active duty and can have longer hair styles. I'm mixed race Japanese/Caucasian. I have thick, wavy black hair. Even now, I get a ton of compliments on it at a longer length. I'm about a NWIII. I like to wear my hair longer, don't mind it being longer on the sides. With that in mind - is an FUT the obvious solution over FUE? It's way more affordable, and it seems like the trichophytic closure minimizes scaring from the strip; notwithstanding individual healing characteristics, of course. From what I've read, it seems as though FUE has gotten better in terms of graft survival. Just wondering if FUT makes more sense here. How does recovery of the donor compare between the two? Shortlist of surgeons: Konior, Hasson, Gabel, Rahal. Open to other recommendations. Main goal is decreasing size of my forehead and having a nice hairline that frames my face and balances it out better than a large forehead.

Out of curiosity what type of jawline implant did you get? Wrap around? Jaw implant angles? You look fantastic! I'm considering a sliding genioplasty so would like your opinions on this sort of procedure vs implant if you wouldn't mind

I'm very curious if anyone has combined an FUE Temple Points Hair Transplant with one of the hair systems and wouldn't mind sharing results From an optimization stand point, it would appear that this would give the "best looking" results from an aesthetic/density stand point. One of the dead giveaways of a hair system is if the hairline looks fairly strong/dense but the temple points are fairly receded. By choosing the FUE method, one also eliminates the strip scar and could go down to a guard 0/1 if they so choose. This is in line with what Spanker has said in other threads - Hair Systems/Transplants aren't undetectable, but a good transplant/system isnt a dead giveaway. To the trained eye, such as the eyes that view this forum quite often, we can spot things such as plugginess, tape, scars, etc. Has anyone actually gone with this plan of attack? To my mind, combined with Fin treatment (to prevent further recession of temples or retrograde alopecia), this could be one of the best methods for people to treat hair loss. Of course, someone would have to be comfortable with the maintenance that comes with a system

Knocked this one out of the park. Nice healing factor on the strip scar. Looks like 3 in the back to cover it up? Love the salt and pepper, excellent work

Any updates Ernie?

I would suggest Dr. Rahal, Dr. Hasson, or Dr. Konior
