iti26 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I am a 23 year old male and have spoken with the consultants at Rahal's clinic in the summer. I was told i would need 3000 grafts to the frontal region. I have had my heart set on Rahal ever since. However, over recent months I have started to see very impressive results from Dr Koray Erdogan. His Hairlines and Denisty seem to be up there with the best- as well as being FUE and cheaper (I live in Europe). What do people think in terms of hairlines and density. Who is the better doctor? Is the more expensive Rahal worth it? If so I am willing to spend the extra money no questions asked! Thanks for your help (picture taken in summer- mabye more loss now I'm not sure. Also my hair is darker during winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted December 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2015 I would be happy wIh either to be honest. Both have posted decent results for haIrlines and densIy. Difficult choice....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member esrec Posted December 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2015 Who else have you consulted with? They are both great. My advice would be to speak with a few more docs before making a decision. Just me but I think more top surgeon opinions the better, even if you arrive at the same conclusion.

Senior Member Aftermath Posted December 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2015 Rahal has techs extracting for FUE and techs implanting, he just makes the lateral slits. Personally if I were having FUE I'd go to a doc that does extractions, but that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Aftermath Posted December 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2015 Also at 23 with that much hair loss I'd want to be maximising usage of grafts so you need to be on meds and I'd personally have FUT first. If you just have FUE you're limiting your graft count considerably. You can have FUE after FUT but not really the other way around. For strip personally I'd consider hasson, konior or Shapiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Petchski Posted December 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2015 Difficult choice, but personally i'd go with Erdogan as he's cheaper and just as good, if not better?

iti26 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks for all your answers. In terms of density who do you think comes up trumps? Is this correct that FUT should always be before FUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct that FUT should always be before FUE? In terms of density FUT will beat FUE every time as there's approx 20% better survival. As far as FUT being before FUE it's fairly common knowledge. FUE thins out the donor making it harder to hide a strip scar so if you want both FUT should be done first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a hotly discussed debate, FUE or Strip, there are many arguments and counter arguments regarding this topic. -------------------------------------- My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Dr Feller Jan '09 2000 grafts Dr Lorenzo Dec '15 2222 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted December 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think Rahal produces the best hairlines. Just take a look at his pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member densedream Posted December 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2015 No question. Dr. Koray. They use manual punches and specialize in FUE only. Dr. Rahal hasn't been doing FUE for nearly as long. Plus the cost is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iti26 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 If I was going with Rahal I would have FUT no doubt. My hair is also wavey/curly. I wonder if one surgeon is better than the other for that type of hair. Because of the hair characterisitic, it seems that I can cover alot with minimal hair- for example the way i wear it in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
