Geeve Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi guys, I've been reading the posts on this site for almost a year now and it really helped me decide which doctor to use for my HT so i decided it was time to post and give something back... I'm currently 38 years old and started losing my hair when i was 30... Both my hairline and crown area were thinning out so i decided to get a FUT with Dr. Rahal. I'm located in Toronto, so Ottawa was a short drive for me plus i liked the results of Dr. Rahal's dense hairlines... When researching HT doctors i looked at 4 facotrs that were improtant to me: 1. Results/Performance 2. Affordability/Cost 3. Location 4. Doctor Ethic I had also looked into the following doctors: Dr. Paul Cotterill - Located in Toronto but the results weren't there... Dr. Hassan & Wong - Performance looks good but I'm located in Toronto so didn't want to fly to Vancouver Dr. Alvi Armani - Too many unknowns, possbile ethical issue... I picked Dr. Rahal becuase he fit all 4 of these criteria for me personally... Dr. Rahal had me intially scheduled for 4000 grafts to give me a dense hairline and cover my crown area...He was able to extract 5044 grafts...He said i had good laxity... We started at 6:30 AM and 12 hours later, we were done... Dr. Rahal is very professional and a super nice guy and his team made me feel comfortable and relaxed... I must have sent Adrian like a hundred emails and he got back to me right away on all of them... All in all, a very comfortable day...didn't really feel anything and i got to watch 4 movies! Here are my numbers: 5044 Total Grafts 779 Singles 3088 Doubles 1174 Triples 3 Quads 10,489 Total Hairs I will post my pics in a weblog shortly... Thanks Dr. Rahal, Adrian, and team! That's all for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 1925 grafts for a total of only 3675 hairs...snif snif..With all the good results I've seen with Dr Rahal, I must be the one with the lowest count of total hairs... Dr Rahal is great and I am positive you will love the results... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
