Not sure why you dont like Dr. Rahal, but I can tell you this being a high norwood Dr, Rahal was very honest with me and told before I went for the procedure that I wouldn't get a lot of density.

Did you even read my post? :confused:

Yeah, I think the plan was to pick up where we left off. Thanks - I agree.

No, I will be going in a day early to be evaluated and will trust what he recommends.

Thanks everyone for the info. Yes, I was very happy and still am with the results. I dont know how anyone took my post as I wasnt happy? LOL! I was told I dont have the elasticity for another FUT which is why Im heading down the FUE route. I trust Dr. Rahal and will being going in a day early to have him evaluate - thank you all. Here's my side by side at about 10 months..

Why in god's name anyone would go to Turkey when you live in the US or Canada is beyond me. I know 1600 is great, but I believe you get what you pay for... Good luck none the less.

Thinking of going for second procedure to pick up where Rahal left off. I've been told 1100 grafts via FUE and not FUT like I did the first time (3800) Will 1100 into the crown area make much of a difference?

Sorry. I still think PRP is snake oil

I hope you read this post and take my advice. PLEASE relax and wait for the results. I felt the same way at 8 months thinking, "Did they do it correctly?" "Where is the density?!?!?!" I had realistic expectations on what to expect and they've been exceeded. I was a Norwood 5 going on 6 and I now have a hairline and it's age appropriate. Is the density great? No, but it's a million times better than what I had. My advice is don't fret and wait for the full year - a lot changed for me from month 8 to 12. Don't get sucked in to snake oil treatments..etc. I need to go back and do the crown, just trying to find the time...

WTH???? :eek::eek::eek:

I think there are too many risks regardless of how careful the clinic is. I agree with the clinic.

Hi, I did not get that information, but I do plan on going back to get the crown done. It's just finding the right time to do it. :-)

That's all I have. The crown needs work.

Thanks, yes considering going for another 1000 to do as much as possible in the crown. I've come to accept that the density will never be great for me considering where I started. Appreciate your feedback - thanks!

I got 3800 grafts with Dr. Rahal and it will be a year on Oct 26th. Overall very happy.
