Senior Member TC17 Posted December 8, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2010 I cannot believe that is your scar after 6,228 graft, and only a few weeks post surgery. That is absolutely amazing. Kudos to Dr. Rahal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member largechris Posted December 8, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2010 Sorry I'm new round here - is this nearly a record number of grafts in one session? Your description does sound a bit of an ordeal, and it looks like there was quite a bit of swelling. I had the headband on for 3 whole days (3,900 FUT) and never noticed any swelling, certainly wasn't sick either - just wondering if this 6,200 grafts is a bit too much, too long, for human endurance to take in one session? But you're going to have a big transformation, can't wait to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellar Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 > Your description does sound a bit of an ordeal, and it looks like there was > quite a bit of swelling. The face swelling wasn't actually that bad. It did swell a little for 3-4 days but from what I understand, this was relatively minor, especially considering the size of the precedure. > certainly wasn't sick either I was pretty neauseated the first night but really got sick after I tried taking the "strong" pain killers. After that I stuck with Tylenols 3s instead and I was fine. At leat for me, the pain wasn't very intense anyway. My personal experience was that the restrictions (sleep at a 45 degree angle, no "real" shower, don't touch the hairs, etc.) and the "maintenance" (ex.: clean and put vitamine E twice a day) were more annoying than the procedure itself or the pain. After a month now, most of the restrictions are lifted which feels very good. I was really looking forward to get to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HARIRI Posted January 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2011 Congrats in Advance, Great Doc, Great Choice.... Rahal and H&W are twins (2 faces in on coin)... They use same technique, denisty and large sessions. To me they are the Best two clinics in the world (happens to be Canadian)... If you do a HT with them you would ugly like hell but in months you would more beatiful than ever you have been. Its just that they need to shave you to do good dense packing and lateral slit to avoid intersecting other hairs. Congratulations and thanks for Dr. Wong for creating this technique again. Dr. Rahal is a great surgeon and you wont have any problem following up with him, he is very accommodation and open hearted Doc with great ethics and manners.

That results was impressive at the 7 month mark. I am sure it is even better now though. He must have had more growth by now. That was only his halfway mark. I wonder how it looks now.

Who are you talking too? You come on here talking about your 5 surgeries and this huge scar but you were barely bald. Yet, of course, no pictures!!! Why don't you post some pics of your barely bald head and then your 5 surgeries and then the inch wide scar on your head. Till then, you really have NO credibility. Newhairplease!!

stellar Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hi everyone, Due to popular demand, here are some pictures I just took. Certainly not as good as Dr. Rahal, but should give you an idea. Density is pretty good everywhere except the crown which is still pretty thin. But overall it makes a world of difference and I'm very happy with the results. cheers, Stellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted April 17, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 17, 2012 Steller - Very nice. How many grafts did Dr. Rahal put in the crown? What is your plan for a second procedure to fill in the crown?

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted April 17, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 17, 2012 You must have a lot of confidence to rock a center parting haircut. I too would like to see the crown and know how many grafts were in the crown as its interesting how 2 parts of a scalp can have different results if of course both areas were planted at the same grafts per cm. Bonkerstonker! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1977 Update I'm now on 12200 Grafts, hair loss has been a thing of my past for years. Also I don't use minoxidil anymore I lost no hair coming off it. Reduced propecia to 1mg every other day. My surgeons were Dr Hasson x 4, Dr Wong x 2 Norton x1 I started losing my hair at 19 in 1999 I started using propecia and minoxidil in 2000 Had 7 hair transplants over 12200 grafts by way of strip but 700 were Fue From Norton in uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
