Ambulance1Chaser Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Greetings all, I have started this thread to cover the FUE journey that I will take. I plan to use the skillful hands of Dr. Rahal in Ottawa, Ontario. Current Status: -->Completed a 15 minute phone consultation and sent in my current hair loss photos to Christie Barr of Dr. Rahal's clinic -->Awaiting my in-person consultation with my patient adviser: Chad Cooper -->Was told that the wait list is currently 4 - 5 months with a possibility of a sooner appointment if there is a cancellation -->Plan to get the surgery before August 2015 or in December 2015 Background Information: -->28 Years old -->Lost most of my hair between 19 - 23 (two inches on the temples, half an inch in the front) -->Initial consultation with the Seager Hair Transplant clinic: at 22, he said to wait 5 - 6 years for my hair loss to stabilize -->Responded very well to propecia; stopped hair loss immediately -->Responded very well to Xandrox15; grew back approximately 10% of my lost hair -->Have not taken any medication for about 4 years and my hairless has stabilized -->Pretty much had the same hairline for 5 years now -->My Hair is VERY thick; require a hair cut every month and the barber always uses thinning sheers -->No sign of hair thinning at crown I will keep everyone posted on things such as: the number of grafts recommended, the waitlist for surgery, the deposit amount, the total quoted, etc... However, I will respect any non-disclosure agreements I make with the clinic about things such as price.

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted April 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2015 Best of luck buddy, you selected the best of the best. Keep us updated, and I'm very interested in the wait list and lead time of the consultation from start until you are permitted to schedule the appointment.

Senior Member BadBeat Posted April 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2015 Honestly, I just don't see a lot of hair loss from the pics you provided. Looks like your hairline might be receding a little bit but it could just be your mature hairline. I would wait as long as you can to get an HT. Just doesn't seem like a great idea right now.

Senior Member Cant decide Posted May 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2015 Honestly, I just don't see a lot of hair loss from the pics you provided. Looks like your hairline might be receding a little bit but it could just be your mature hairline. I would wait as long as you can to get an HT. Just doesn't seem like a great idea right now. Agreed no HT needed at the moment. It's a big deal so think about it carefully. Your hair looks great as is.

Senior Member hairweare Posted May 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2015 There is nothing more natural appearing than a natural hairline. Why would you want to mess with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member harin Posted May 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2015 I have to agree with multitude of other comments, nothing better than natural hairline, would definetly die for your hairline and hairs, no need for un-necessary transplant procedure, I would say wait for 5-10 years bro, why waste money when u have head full of hair!?.

BUSA Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 and why again do u need a HT? ur looking for a solution to a problem that only exits IN ur head not ON ur head. dude u have a full head a hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted May 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 3, 2015 I see no baldness. If your looking to improve your looks, hit the gym. Whiten your teeth. Buy so snazzy clothes. Anything would be more helpful that a transplant on you. You're not going bald and a ht won't do anything positive for you. Thats what a normal nonbalding male heal looks like.

Senior Member Dolph1969 Posted May 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2015 Most of us would kill to have a head of hair like yours. Seriously, you don't need a hair transplant yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance1Chaser Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Wow. I can honestly say that these posts boosted my self esteem more than anything that Dr. Rahal could have done. I have decided not to go through with the surgery based on all the comments I read from you guys. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for the kind comments:).

Senior Member Sean Posted May 12, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2015 your hair looks great. look at your density as is, it looks better than some that have had surgery already. your hair is framing your face well as is. some folks seem they dont even have such framing even after surgery. so you are really ahead of the game. you do not have to worry about surgery at his point.

Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted May 13, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2015 I am wondering why Dr.Rahal agreed to do your procedure? You have great hair and its just a mature hairline, don't mess it! And enjoy your life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gram Posted May 13, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2015 Agree with you everyone's comments. Not only this but should you pull the trigger you're probably looking at 2 procedures to match your native density Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance1Chaser Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 I responded very well to propecia so I'll probably get back on that. I cancelled my appointment with my patient advisor so Dr. Rahal did not actually recommend I get the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
