Regular Member born76 Posted August 18, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) I had 829 fue grafts to left side of my hairline Friday August 13th. I did only the left side for a couple of reasons that the right side doesn’t bother me so much as I comb my hair from left to right, also because of my budget at moment. I will do the right side in due time very soon . I chose the pricier fue than strip because I didn’t want the scar, although Dr Rahal showed a few examples of really excellent healed scars. We discussed the pro and cons of each surgery type of surgery. The area covered is about 15 cm planted at avg 55%. The surgery took about 2.5 hours to extract the grafts and then about two hours to implant. Edited August 19, 2010 by born76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TC17 Posted August 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was not aware that Dr. Rahal was performing FUE. If you don't mind, what was the cost per graft? I think you made a great decision going with FUE. The area you needed covered was not worth the discomfort that a strip surgery entails. Good luck, and I hope it grows well for you.

Senior Member mattj Posted August 19, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2010 I was not aware that Dr. Rahal was performing FUE. If you don't mind, what was the cost per graft? Dr Rahal has been performing smaller FUE surgeries for a while now, taking his time to get proficient with the technique. Now he feels ready to make it a part of his regular practice. For costs, it's best to contact Adrian by email. There is an introductory rate for a limited time. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Senior Member wb280 Posted August 19, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Yah i m surprised to learn that Dr Rahal is practising FUE. However, like u guys mentioned, with a small coverage required by the patient, i thought going the FUE route seems appropriate. However, i thought if it was up to me, i would undergo a strip to fill in the entire frontline but thats my perception only As long as the patient is satisfied with that he is looking for, i guess, as the practitioner, u do not force the issue Edited August 19, 2010 by wb280 View my hair loss website.
