Regular Member Hair whisperer Posted March 29, 2012 Regular Member Posted March 29, 2012 Bro, you on any meds? Just wondering. How old are you?
Regular Member DreamBig Posted March 29, 2012 Author Regular Member Posted March 29, 2012 Bro, you on any meds? Just wondering. How old are you? Hi there, yes I'm currently on Proscar 1.25mg daily and apply Rogaine Foam twice daily. Also take a mens multivitamin. Haven't had any side effects from the Proscar whatsoever. I had stabilised my loss before having surgery through use of Proscar. Only started using Rogaine foam 14 days after surgery as recommended by Dr. Rahal. I was 26 when I had the surgery and will turn 27 later this year.
Senior Member HARIRI Posted March 29, 2012 Senior Member Posted March 29, 2012 Dr. Rahal should really be awarded with the ISHRS GOLDEN FOLLICLE AWARD this year. It looks freakingly amazing.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted March 29, 2012 Senior Member Posted March 29, 2012 Nice progress, you got any better pics as it appears to too dark in month 3. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.
Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted March 29, 2012 Senior Member Posted March 29, 2012 Looks great for 3 months but the photos are really dark which doesn't give a true story have you any outside or light pictures. I think it's gonna be a great result though. 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
Senior Member mattj Posted March 29, 2012 Senior Member Posted March 29, 2012 It looks like the growth took off practically overnight! There'll definitely be more growth. No ifs or buts. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal. My FUE Procedure With Dr Rahal - Awesome Hairline Result I can be contacted for advice: matt@rahalhairline.com
Regular Member DreamBig Posted March 29, 2012 Author Regular Member Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks everybody for your comments so far. And yes I agree the pics aren't of the best quality. But I can assure you the results are in person as they appear in the photos. If I get a chance over the weekend I'll take some better pics (inside/outside lighting etc) and post them in my blog. I think I've been lucky with the amount of growth up to this point but I would also like to point out that I've stuck to the pre and post operative care regimen recommended by Dr. Rahal 100% throughout the whole process. I even went as far as sleeping upright until the day I had the sutures out, thus giving me no chance of coming into contact with the grafts or dislodging them. Also didn't touch the grafts until after 14 days and then when washing was super gentle.
Benkilla Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Your results are amazing. What was the total cost if you dont mind me asking?
Senior Member Davis91 Posted March 31, 2012 Senior Member Posted March 31, 2012 Looking very promising. Do you know the total CM2 areas that that number of grafts was planted into on you?
Regular Member DreamBig Posted April 1, 2012 Author Regular Member Posted April 1, 2012 Looking very promising. Do you know the total CM2 areas that that number of grafts was planted into on you? Think it was about 49cm2.
labrador Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys, I finally took the plunge and had the FUT procedure (3800 grafts) performed by Dr. Rahal yesterday. Everything went off smoothly and his team was very efficient and the doc was kind enough to drop me off at the Foxbar gues house. Sorry for high-jacking this thread but that is all the information I have for now. I will open a new thread once I have my pre-op pics and have taken some post-op pics. I am staying at the Foxbar guest house - very nice and clean, everything is provided (except lunch and dinner which you can have delivered to your door-step anyway) and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get the HT done at Rahals. Edit: Btw, I wanted to say thanks to everybody who posts on this forum. I have been lurking on this forum for nearly 2 years and gathered a lot of information before going to one of the best HT surgeons. Edited April 25, 2012 by labrador
Senior Member HARIRI Posted April 25, 2012 Senior Member Posted April 25, 2012 You dream Big, You got it, Result Big. Impressive for ONLY 3 months. I noticed most of the patients whom have huge fast results are on Finastride (Propecia). Its pitty I cant take it. Good luck in your growth.
