im going to do that wet so you can get the best idea. those pictures including videos are coming soon.

Hi these are just teaser pics as i have much more pics and video coming soon. i had bunch taken on my new camera but unfortenatly was lost in a taxi cab. so i bought a new camera and took a few pics and will be posting a lot more soon. some history. more then a year ago i had surgery with Dr. rahal with over 3500 grafts and i just couldnt be happier with the results. My situation is a desperate situation as i cant take propecia or rogain foam due to allergy and sexual side affects. so my hair loss is unchecked and without these 3500 grafts i would be in very bad shape.

Its been about 14 months since my surgery with Dr. Rahal. I received approximately 3500 grafts. I do have a big update coming soon with pictures and hopefully a video. but The reason for this post is to write a public Thank you letter to Dr. Rahal. Iv been struggling with hair loss for the past 10 years. about 3 years ago it had become noticeable to the point that hats and lots of toppik were really the only way I would go out of the house. I know many here can sympathize with a loss of self esteem. The chances of one day living with a girl or even marrying seemed like would never happen. Obviously having low self esteem didn't help but more so about living with a girl who would see me and my hair at its worst. Waking up in the morning with the thought of having a person in the house who would see my bald spots was just something that really scared me. Even close family members would only see me with a hat or with toppik to cover up my very thinning and balding hairline. When I saw Dr. Rahal's work on hair transplant network. I was blown away by the quality of his hairlines. One reason I never really considered a hair transplant before was that the results seemed so comb over like. Meaning you just looked like you had a better comb over. OR the hairlines were soo high that the aesthetics to ME was not very appealing. I WANTED MY 21 year old hairline back. I didn't want to settle for a better comb over after spending 10-15k. Last month, I bought a engagement ring for my girlfriend who I'm living with. 14 months after my surgery, I have gained the confidence and excitement about the future that I haven't had for a long time. those nights wanting to pull my hair out because of the amount of hair in the sink are behind me. Those Friday nights staying home because I was depressed over my hair are behind me. Dr. Rahal, thank you for giving me a chance to live my life with confidence. Due side affects from propecia and monoxidel i know that my journey with hair loss is not over. Until there is a full cure for hair loss its something that many of us have to continue to battle. Having the option of being able have a nice hairline makes it easier. Gattaca

addded a new picture! a bit of justin beiber style im about 9 months post up!

you cant go wrong with any of those surgeons. i had my surgery with dr. rahal 3500 grafts. let me know if you hve any questions.

man your going to get awesome results! i cant wait till i see your hairline grow in. i had 3500 grafts with dr. rahal and im extatic with my results. im 8 months post up! will be posting new pics in my thread! keep updating ur pictures

okay now im officially on minixodil with azliac acid 5 percent Tricomine Nano doctor proctor shampoo any reccomendations on saw pulmeto?

Hey noticed you just had surgery with Dr. rahal as well! im excited for you! i cant wait for you to have amazing results. are you taking msm? im really considering it.

question for MSM users.. worth it that i should get some?

brother with the way i was balding! it was music to my ears! thats why im really scared im going to screw up dr. rahals hard work. really need to figure out a anti dht blocker..

i was on it for a month.. on fin i mean.. and stopped due to sexual side affects.. i was thinking of DUT but im sure thats even worse for side affects then fin..

does anyone reccomend RU for good DHT BLOCKER? also please dont mind the different colors, i recently coloared my hair light brown from dark brown =)

Long story short, a friend my best friend since high school actually recently saw me (im almost 7 months post up with Dr. Rahal) and said " whoaoo there chia pet" i started laughing., he was only one of a few poeple i had told i was getting surgery and actaully he had saw me 1 month post op and lets just say i didnt look to great then lol. obvously when he recently saw me there has been a big difference and it made me feel good to actaully have it recognized by poeple who knew me before surgery. My question is how do i build on that. Dr. Rahal mentioned that i really needed to do something to stop my natural hairloss. he said its much easier to keep the hair you have then grow new one. which i think we can all agree with. the problem i have is that minoxidel and propecia have caused side affects. i have to be honest. and say that i actaully havent really noticed a side affect from minox but i have a bit of a chubby face and one of the side affects of minox is bloated face. and i just cant use anymore fat to my face even its a little bit. on fin i just get sexual side affects. i gave in and bought 5 percent minox with azleac acid.. but i really need a DHT blocker. i really appreciate my friends comment and it shows iv come a long way. but what can i do to block DHT while avoiding side affects? btw heres a recent pic. its not styled or anyting i usually take my pics out of a shower and dry to make sure to wash out any products as to not alter the pic but its a cell phone pic so its not great BUT of course when you compare it to my before picture its amazing. Heres a link to my thread about my story if anyones interested.
