Senior Member FUE2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 3, 2014 I wonder why shock loss exists when it shouldnt. That factor worries me a lot. Isnt there a medication or something out there that can lessen or get rid of it? http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/143063-shockloss.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted July 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'd question whether 3500 grafts or so is right for a young patient's hairline, but I wouldn't question whether Rahal is good at what he does. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

taurusrisen Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'd question whether 3500 grafts or so is right for a young patient's hairline, but I wouldn't question whether Rahal is good at what he does. Every smart man should question a potential HT doc. It doesnt matter how many great HTs hes done. Every would-be patient has the right to review a doc's work and base his decision on that and other factors. Thats why we have forums, patient reviews, before and after pics, videos, etc. Without those, getting a HT from an "unknown" doc based solely on hearsay would be stupid.

Senior Member voxman Posted July 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 3, 2014 I reckon Rahal may have done a few less-than-stellar transplants in the past decade. Not everyone can get 100% great results. Apparently you're in no hurry, but ultimately it's your decision. Choose well. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Senior Member hairthere Posted July 4, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2014 Keep in mind too that HTs are very subjective. What one man considers a failure another may think is a home run. Taurus, have you seen a HT up close and in person? If not I suggest you do so. It might help you manage your expectations. I'd also suggest you fully express to your surgeon exactly what your goals are and make sure you feel 100% confident on your choice before going under. Best of luck and keep us in the loop.

What one man considers a failure another may think is a home run. I agree with this. I doubt mine is a home run compared to someone like Spanker's result, but the effect it's had on me and the improvement it's made, it's definitely been a home run to me. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time.
