What does that mean exactly? Conservative like number of grafts?

Damn, back of my head looks like that when buzzed....

Nope, too many inconsitencies with his results. I decided that Dr. Hasson would be the best choice for me.

How risky is it to have a hair transplant in you early 20's if you've stabilized on finasteride?

It's really upsetting to hear all of this stuff about Rahal. I've had a consultation and everything, and I'm so close to pulling the trigger for surgery in september...

I think i may just bite the bullet and go with Dr. Rahal. I'm going to call his office sometime this week and go from there. I was really considering hasson & wong, but Dr. Rahal's hairline are just so great.

Thank you for this. I'm fully prepared to do what I have to do. Thankfully I've learned to continue enjoying life and just be happy in my current situation, even though that involves wearing a hat EVERYWHERE LOL. Regardless, I know I'll feel better getting a hair transplant. Thanks!

I fully understand that its progressive. Like I said I'm on medication, (fin & minox), I know I may need more transplants in the future, and I can accept that. Thanks for your insight!

Just out of curiosity, are you taking fin or minoxidil? And are you still losing hair?

Your results are INCREDIBLE. I would have never been able to tell that you've dealt with hair loss with those results! I actually have an online Skype consultation with H&W next week so I'm looking forward to that. Thanks for your response!

I would also like to know why the HT at a young age was the biggest mistake of your life? Would really like to hear about that if its okay with you.

I appreciate your response. However, I literally wear a hat everyday because its impossible to style my hair. I've worn a hat for the last 3 years every single day no matter what time of day it is. I shaved my head from 19-21 and absolutely hated it, and ended wearing a hat out despite shaving. I was mocked by people, and hated looking at myself everyday. It crumbled my self esteem and optimism. I know it would be best to wait until my thirties, but I really need this for my self now. I fully understand I will need more transplants in the future as my hair loss progresses. Regardless, I will take into account about the things you've mentioned. I'am also determined to stay on finasteride and minoxidil forever, and upgrade to dutasteride if fin stops working. Thank you for your insightful response! Its true, I still have a lot of my 20's left, don't want to be the bald guy.

How do you feel about Rahal?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the responses! I should of clarified that I'm 23, and have been on fin for 2 years. My hair loss has completely stabilized. I've kept this recession since I started finasteride, and haven't noticed any more hair loss since then. Also, I've been on minoxidil for 6 months, and this has helped tremendously. I plan to never get off either medications. I would also like to add that I'm looking more into FUT over FUE because I want to get as many grafts as possible. I've heard that FUT grants higher survival of individual grafts over FUE. It sucks that I have to look into transplant, but the recession of my hair and thinning in front makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to style my hair. I now wear hats almost everyday, I would like to stop doing that. Thanks for the responses everyone, I'm new to this site, so I'm not sure how to respond individually to each response.

Here are some pics of my hair loss, along with my donor and side hair. Not sure if these will help.

Seriously considering hair transplant surgery in the near future. Money isn't an issue, but I'm having a difficult time deciding on a surgeon. I've really gravitated towards Dr. Rahal because of his credibility and great looking hairlines. However, I've noticed some less than desirable results from some people on this forum, and now I'm second guessing. Is he still a great surgeon. any other surgeons I should be aware of? Just want a good result.
