Did you have any miniaturization in your forelock area prior to surgery? Do you think the thinning is in the area that was implanted or in the area behind it.

 

Your forelock looked solid in your 6 week photos. Are u on fin? I have never seen someone thin that fast at your age before.

 

The thinning of my native hair has not been that extreme, in my opinion.

 

It is thinner in the front center forelock area, but the far greater area of concern for me is the recipient area, particularly on the right side, which was covered in greater area.

 

I'm on Propecia, 1mg per day.

I think hair looks denser usually at that length if there is no strip scar.

I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

I'm wondering how my density will look if I buzz my hair down to a #1 clipper. Any opinions?

 

I will ask Dr. Rahal's opinion in person next weekend, as well.

 

What's your current length? I would recommend buzzing with a #3 guard and see how you like it. If it looks fine, then go down to a #2 guard, then #1 guard. You can always go shorter but it's hard to go to #1 then regret that short of a hair length. I know it won't take long to regrow it but I still like go the safer route.

I am using liquid minox now, once per day at night. This has alleviated the itch, but my recipient area is still very thin.

 

The feedback on liquid Minox before the foam came out was of mixed reviews. Many patients were getting skin irritations from it. Skin irritation is rare with the foam used once a day. I think a patient has to use it and monitor it on their own. What works for one patient isn't necessarily going to work with the next patient.

What is disappointing is that all Dr. Rahal patients stopped contributing in the forum even when it comes to other topics. Its like quarter to half of the active members are gone. Its really getting silent over here...

I'm assuming(which can be dangerous) that the final outcome was not optimal based on the last few comments and pictures that Sugarhigh posted....

I wish patients that have follow up issues like this would follow through with posts. Particularly as Dr. Rahal cannot post on here anymore, it is up to the patients.

 

I'm new to the forums, but can someone tell me what happened with this Doctor, any why he (or his patients) do not post here any longer?

 

If this is a sensitive topic, please send me a private message.. I'm curious as to what happened.

 

<<edit>> Ok, never mind.. I found the answer regarding the recently passed legislation on another thread.

A couple more photos after a haircut. The missing density is more visible here.

 

Yield was not great at all... Hope Sugarhighs is ok...

I am not aware of the recently passed legislation you mentioned. Could someone please post a link to that thread?

Mickey85. Its useless for him to write anything as Dr. Rahal is no longer a recommended doctor here plus he may reached a deal from Rahal in order to keep it low. Just forget about sugar and Sean and focus on your future session scar and hairline revision with Dr. Feriduni this January.
