Hairtransplant with Dr. Rahal (4,334)

[ALDO]

Hello Everyone,

 

I want to share my hair transplant experience and pictures with this great community. I did a lot of research on this website and it was a great resource in leading me to a first class physician.

 

I chose Dr. Rahal because of the consistantly great results I saw from his patients. I also think his hairline work is one of a kind. I have thinning hair from the front to crown region and wanted to have a megasession done. My goal was to have the thickest head of hair possible in a year, but at the same time I'm also realistic. I started on Propecia 2 months prior to surgery and have been on rogaine since I was 21. I'm currently 27. Propecia seems to be working well and I have not suffered any side effects. I just hope it stops future hair loss.

 

I spoke to Adrian (Dr. Rahal's representative) on several occasions prior to the procedure. He is a true gentleman. He answered all my questions and put my mind at ease about the surgery.

 

I traveled a long way from Cali to Ottawa and met with Dr. Rahal the day prior to surgery. After speaking to him for just a few moments, I knew he wanted to get me the best result possible. At the same time he was always keeping in mind future hair loss. Dr. Rahal really tries to address all your concerns. We ended up deciding to go with somewhere around 4,000 grafts.

 

The surgery itself was not very painful at all. The shots sting, but the needles they use are very small. I was really freaked out about having the strip cut prior to the surgery. But this part was a breeze, and I felt absolutely nothing.

I think the worst part of the procedure is just having to sit still for so long. My procedure lasted 11 hours because of the larger number of grafts. In total we got 4,334 grafts. Dr. Rahal's staff were all wonderful. I had some minor pain for a few days after the procedure, but the pain killers Dr. Rahal gave me took that away.

 

Now the tough part has started (WAITING). I joked with Dr. Rahal that I wish the grafts they just didn't shed. How great would that be?I think everyone and their mother would be getting a hair transplant. Anyways, I think the end result is worth the wait.

 

I highly recommend Dr. Rahal and his staff. Don't let distance get in the way. I will answer any questions anyone has. Thanks.

 

 

Regards,

Hi Aldo,

 

your hairline looks good.

 

Do you know the size of the balding area and the number of hairs u get ?

 

Thx

[ALDO]

Hi NW5a,

 

I don't know the exact size of the balding area.

 

I do have the hair count:

1108 singles

2803 doubles

422 triples

1 quad

-------

7,984 hairs total.

 

Dr. Rahal said I have good hair quality, but very average to even a bit below average density. I also had good laxity after performing the scalp exercises for a month prior to surgery.

 

Thanks,

 

ALDO
