Regular Member fra03 Posted January 4, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2012 If I may ask...how much has all this cost you? I have a similar hair loss pattern and thinking of doing the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
businesspro Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks for the update el nino. Can you see the scar after getting a buzz cut? In some of your postop pictures, I noticed that the scar was visible. Also, I know this might sound like a dumb question but is necessary for the surgeon to shave off your hair preop?

Senior Member El Nino Posted January 4, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Cheers guys. fra03, It has cost me about 11,000 pounds including everything. But the exchange rate was a lot better in Jan 2008. businesspro, I had some shock loss on the scar which is what you can see in some of the pics. This is quite common and returns when the scar has healed. I can get away with it buzzed to a 3 and might try a 2. The scar really doesn't bother me and I wouldn't care even if it was slightly visible cos the average person wouldn't notice it. Hence me buzzing it to a 3 at eight weeks post op with shock loss. Dr. Rahal requires the recipient area to be shaved but not the whole head, that was personal choice.

Senior Member El Nino Posted May 15, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2012 I am 12 months post op now and just have a few more months until it fully matures. I am keeping it very short until then and these pics are one week out from a buzz cut number 3 all over. I am thrilled with how it looks.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted May 15, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2012 I know that crown is the black hole for grafts but Dr. Rahal really knew well how to cover it.

You look great, start saying goodbye to hair transplants. You are all done and set. Congrats Nino. Thanks Hariri. I hope you are right but only time will tell. But if the rest of my hair has the same genetics as my elder brother (44yo) and father (70yo) who haven't suffered from MPB, then you might be correct. ElninoI'm sure you have it mentioned somewhere but did you have FUE or strip?? Both of my HTs were strip NHP. My Hair Loss Website - Two HTs with Dr. Rahal and SMP at HIS Hair.
