Regular Member riloal Posted September 25, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2012 Really nice result here aj29. Hairloss at 19, and you got this kind of hair now. Looks like you beat mother nature Congrats. Any future plans for another procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member aj29 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks riloal Yeah I guess you could say that Im beating mother nature. it's a constant battle though but I assume I would be quite receeded now if not for meds and surgery. It comes down to what you can reasonably achieve and being happy with it, Ive accepted that I'm never gonna have my original hair from when I was 18 back but it's all about having realistic expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted September 25, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2012 HI aj29, Your hair is looking great. Ive been considering Bisanga for a while now but haven't taken the plunge yet. I'm still a bit uncertain about 10 years from now etc. when you say it's all about having realistic expectations what do you mean?What would you do in your 2nd procedure? Thanks, M.

Regular Member aj29 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi magnum What I mean is you can't expect a Ht to ever replace the density you once had it's not possible to replicate nature.but if you have realistic goals then you will be happier when your result grows in for me it's all about framing my face that was my priority if I have no2 and I'm not in any rush to do so I'd touch up where my loss has progressed I'm going to treat my donor very preciously and not get carried away Im aware that I'll may continue to lose some more native especially in the frontal 3rd where fin is less effective ,Im looking at the next 10 years also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member cargo65 Posted November 29, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2012 I agree with AJ, scar is a pain in the ass especially if the person is perfectionist. There will be a day when the patient cant be longer able to restore all of his hair in a certain age with a certain level of NW. What you see on the net is only one year post op but you wont imagine how would you look like when the final balding process ends. When AJ decided to do FUE he has a point which is to shave his head to look normal and good rather than looking weird with head of hair and balding spots because of being hesistant to show the scar to public and start looking weird. A person should always think how would he look like 10 years ahead especially if he isnt ready to take the finasteride. Alix, i agree with you too, Motorized FUE tool in my opinion is very commercial, big risk of damaging the graft, many top clinic are using it to save time, dollars and efforts. All top FUE surgeon are using manual extraction devices like Lorenzo, Bisanga and Feriduni. Dr. Feriduni was using motorized tool and he found its not good enough so he went back to manual to achieve better results and patient satisfaction. I would never have a FUE session with motorized tool at all whether its motorized rotating punch or powered SAFE system..etc. Unfortunately most of North American docs are using them these days to meet the demand of the HT market, motorized FUE tools offer the ability to remove 500 – 700 grafts per hour, whereas manual punch grafts allow surgeons to remove around 200 – 300 grafts per hour. Its about production and time saving but not about quality. "With using motorized FUE tool, HT doctors can't feel what's going on as well and may end up with more transections. Also that the motorized drill may generate heat which could be bad for the grafts" "Some types of work require slow and meticulous attention to detail like an artist with a small paint brush. Sure it takes longer but I don’t think you can compare it to the painter with a spray gun". :-) Do you know if Dr. Rahal uses a motorized tool for FUE?

Senior Member agenteye Posted November 29, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2012 Cargo- In answer to your question, I am almost positive Dr. Rahal uses a motorized tool for his FUE. With that said however, his results are consistently amazing.....and his FUE work is no exception. I am actually especially impressed with his FUE technique!! I just had a strip procedure done with him, but noticed a link to some of his recent FUE sessions, and I was blown away! http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/167798-dr-rahal-fue-compilation.html AJ- Your result is going to look great!!!! I just had my procedure done, and I echo what you said about the recipient area numbing jabs! Holy mother of GOD did those hurt!! The funny thing is, at the end of my procedure before he drove me home, my surgeon told me that he was impressed at what a high pain threshold I had. Little did he know that it was all I could do from screaming obscenities when that first needle went in my forehead!! I bet he would have changed his mind about me if he was able to hear what I was thinking...... ;-D 4737 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 11/16/2012 Daily regimen: 1/4 Proscar (1.25 mg Finasteride), Rogaine Foam (twice daily), 1000 mcg Biotin, 1 combo Vitamin D/Calcium/Magnesium, 1500 mg Glocosamine, 750 mg MSM, 1200 mg Fish Oil, 2000 mg Vitamin C, Super B-Complex, 400 I.U Vitamin E.
