Regular Member tommyf Posted October 17, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi Guys, I have basically done my research and am now trying to make the decision as to who I will get to do my transplant. I guess I am a NW2-3, only hairline loss and some frontal 1/3, no crown loss. I am 43 and guess my hairloss has stabilized. So I need to know, in a perfect world lets say hypothetically, who would it be, Rahal, Jones, Armani, Wong?? I have pictures sent to each and awaiting further information from them. any help greatly appreciated , great site people, really helped me out a lot, I have spent hours here!!!

Regular Member tommyf Posted October 18, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2007 thanks man for the reply, I am in canada so essentially looking only at canadian Surgeons. I feel i am going to go to Rahal as i have heard some great things about him. I know there are many great ones around that are members of the colition, I am just close to ontario, so thanks and appreciate the help t My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Rahal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted October 18, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2007 I believe the best are Dr. Rahal-Ottawa, Dr. Hasson and Wong-Vancouver, and Dr. Nakatsui- Edmonton(I think--possibly Winnepeg). Any of these surgeons and you will be gold. Dr. Armani is also very talented but too expensive and sometimes his ethics are questioned. NN NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Senior Member Anouar Posted October 18, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2007 If you are planning strip, You won't be able to go to Armani. The Dr. is discontinuing this procedure and is opting to go strictly with fue. I believe that this is the last month for him doing strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 tommyf, Welcome to our community. There are many first-rate hair restoration physicians in Canada who perform state of the art ultra refined follicular unit transplantation. I would consider consulting with any of the following (listed in no particular order): Dr. Hasson Dr. Wong Dr. Nakatsui Dr. Rahal Feel free to use the find feature of our discussion forum to search over 5 years of patient posted experiences and before/after pictures. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member tommyf Posted October 18, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks Guys, your all great, I am pretty sure then it will be Rahal, as I am in eastern canada, earliest date I can get is March i think, just awaitning emails. So as to my next question, should I start propecia or rogaine as i have never used either. I have been gradually going through the process of determinig whether I should go ahead with the process, now that i have made up my mind, wondering, if i havestabilized at 43, is there a need for the medical treatment also. I don't know how to attach the picasso pics i have to this site, but could email them to someone have a look at the hairline, put them on the forum so i can get some feedback. Rahals rep, said 2500 grafts, strip. help appreciated as i am at the proverbial point of sh.t or get off!!!

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 tommy, Hair loss is progressive so there is always a chance of future hair loss regardless of your age which makes a strong case for why hair loss medication is worthwhile. However, many who are a bit older may decide it's worth the chance and not want to indulge in hair loss medical therapy. If indeed your hair loss has stabilized for some time, you might decide not to take any hair loss medication. However, if you are going to have hair transplanted between native hairs - you may want to consider Propecia and/or Rogaine for 6 months prior to strengthen the hair follicles in order to prevent permanent shock loss of any miniaturized hairs. However, if the hairs are terminal - they may be temporarily shocked, but will grow back. Just some things to consider. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
