    I am referring to #2, the nape. I don't know too much anatomical terminology. Thank you for teaching me something.

    Matt, Your results are just mind-blowing! Really considering Dr. Konior after seeing your results. I'm reaching out to Tom tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your journey. Follow-up like yours is exactly what novices like me are looking for to help take a foot in the right direction.

    Yeah, I'm starting to get over my fear of potentially drawing a bad card with the linear scar. I'm thinking FUT then FUE later on. Thanks for your input.
  5. Jmorscha
    I'm starting to lean more toward FUT for my first session. By high "neckline" I mean the hairline at my neck. I'll probably have those thick "lateral lumps" forever. Here's a photo I had my Dad (66 years young, haha) take today. Don't know if he is considered a NW 5A still or NW 6. Anyway, I'm sure my hair is destined to end up like his if I don't do the HT.

    Just like most I'm worried about how our physiology is such a huge variable during the scar's healing process. I'll be honest that most of my fear is created by the bad expereiences others post about in their threads, i.e., shock loss, scar width, etc. I know as long as I follow my surgeon's post-op instructions, stay on my meds, and other post-op advice the scar has the highest probability of ideal healing. I'm thinking FUT for my hairline and front-middle, then FUE for my crown.
  7. Jmorscha
    I really want to do FUE. How long did you wait to have the second operation?
  8. Jmorscha
    10 weeks...Rahal's office told me 8 months. Maybe I misheard. I would definitely consider two FUE sessions if the doctor is confident with a second operation at 10 weeks or a few months.
  9. Jmorscha
    I contacted H&W, Shapiro, and Konior. I'll wait for those consultations before making my final decision.

    Thanks. Dr. Rahal recommends 4,000 grafts to create my hairline and fill in toward the crown. I'll need another procedure to take care of the crown. I've reached out to Bernstein, Diep, Meshkin, Mohebi. Dr. Bernstein recommended 2,400 via ARTAS which seems very light and I'm not interested in ARTAS anymore. Dr. Diep, my runner up, is on par with Dr. Rahal at 4,500 FUT. Meshkin & Mohebi both recommended 3,000 FUT. Dr. Diep offers ACell, so I need to see if Dr. Rahal does as well. I have to do more research on post-op treatments. I noticed that you spaced out 4,785 grafts over 3 FUE sessions. I'm waiting for Dr. Rahal to respond with the maximum number of FUE grafts he'll do in one session. I know the most that others will do is 2,500/session.

    I'm really considering FUT because I want optimum density, but my scalp is pretty taut. I changed because nobody could respond to my threads asking for firsthand feedback on Dr. Leonard. His office was only able to connect me with one patient, and that patient wasn't very helpful. Also, Dr. Rahal has more documented results and he has far superior skill with the hairline
  12. Jmorscha
    Wow, we have an almost identical hair loss pattern and hair characteristics. I would appreciate it if you could send me a photo of the donor area after/if you cut your hair short. My operation wouldn't be until March, so I have a few months to figure out which route to take. Your post-op photo looks good. How many grafts did Dr. Rahal transplant? Do you have a close-up of the scar if you don't mind? BTW thanks for the response.
  13. Jmorscha
    Hello, So, I cancelled my ARTAS appointment with Dr. Leonard. I am 100% going with Dr. Rahal, but I am torn between FUT & FUE. I am concerned with my scalp's elasticity and high neckline if I choose FUT. Refer to the attached photo showing my high neckline. What do you guys think? Will the FUT scar stretch my neckline even higher than it already is? Also, this is the length I usually have after my haircut. Do you think my hair will conceal the scar well? I think my hair on the back of my head will conceal the scar, but I'm concerned with my sides. I know that Dr. Rahal's trichophytic closures are very good...just looking for some insight. Thanks!

    Just last year Dr. Bernstein endorsed the efficacy of the Artas procedure. He's one of the recommended doctors by the IAHRS and a coalition doctor.

    Hello, Can anyone provide their firsthand experience with Dr. Robert Leonard? There isn't much on him posted here or on the BaldTruthTalk forum. I'm sure plenty of people would really appreciate hearing some experiences from actual patients. Thanks,
