Check out another Rahal FUE result, NW5, 2733 Grafts, 12 Months

[JoeTillman]

Here is a higher NW patient with his result from his Rahal FUE procedure. This local patient received 2733 grafts via Rahal FUE in one procedure in mid 2012 to address the frontal zone as this was his primary concern. He was started on Rogaine immediately after the procedure with the results shown below being as 12 months post-op. I have a series of images that show the progression over several months for various angles of view.

 

 

Months Post op: 12 Month

Year of Birth: 1975

Norwood Scale: 5

Procedure Type: FUE

Graft Count: 2733

Hair Count: 5791

Country: Canada

Beautiful work! Very interesting and informative to see the growth progression.

 

Also, JoeT --

 

Does Dr. Rahal make lateral slit recipient sites with blades for FUE grafts, as I think he does for FUT grafts?

 

Does Dr. Rahal do consecutive day FUE sessions if more grafts are needed for the restoration, or does he have a max number of grafts per single day FUE session (if so, how many?) and then require a healing/growth period before the next FUE session (if so, how many months?)?

 

Thank you for the info.

Very nice result. Crown seems noticeably thicker whole no grafts were placed there. Is the growth in the crown from minoxidil alone

[JoeTillman]

Hi Madman,

 

Blades are not used. Consecutive day sessions are discouraged at the moment and the maximum that is recommended for one day sessions is 2500 grafts, sometimes 3000 depending on the ease of extraction. Most top clinics max out at this number, or close to it for single day procedures. The general requirement for time between sessions is about 8 months but it also depends on if the second session will be hitting the same recipient zone. If the intended recipient zone for round two is different the time between procedures could be shorter.

 

Stinger99,

 

Yes, it would seem that minoxidil had a pretty good effect on the patient's crown:D

What do he use if not blades.

[MadMan]

Hi Madman,

 

Blades are not used

 

I was referring to custom cut blades vs. needles vs. some other tool for making recipient sites. Does Dr. Rahal not use custom cut blades to make his recipient sites?

 

Thanks for the other info, Joe. I think that Dr. Rahal's policies regarding consecutive day FUE sessions, max grafts per FUE session, and waiting period between FUE sessions are responsible and reflect a concern for the best interests of the patient.

Beautiful result thanks for sharing JoeTillman

nice work. The minox really did a number on his crown too.
