Raphael84 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Great results. Congratulations. May I ask, Im presuming that both procedures were done with Rahal, is this correct? Also, what was the motivating factor behind a 2400 graft session the first time round? Im intrigued to see if there was a restrictive factor, or the two session plan was always in mind. If so why was this? In the final image, where the hairline is pulled back and exposed. I see that a mature hairline design has been used. I applaud this. Im a big believer in a mature hairline, especially considering your other personal factors. I see my situation as very similar to your own. Having selected Rahal as my Dr. it is always very motivational to see such a great result from this similar situation. Your absolutely correct. Patience is the key to this industry. Also, in life in most aspects. You have obviously been rewarded for your careful and patient approach, and I commend you for it.

TheBoom Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Raphael, I appreciate your comments. To answer your questions, Yes both sessions where done by Dr. Rahal. And it's not only one factor that made me go with my first HT it's several ones. 1: I was only 21 and already a NW3 or NW4, at that age, my social life took a big hit and it made me go threw alot of depressing days, I wasn't myself anymore and all this caused my confidence to get extremely affected. 2: I dont have good genes in terms of hair history in my family, my dad is a bald and so are my mom's brothers. So I knew I was heading that way however I dint know it was going to be that early in my life. I knew I will go threw a HT sooner or later so I told myself "why not now?" Since I'm young. I heard alot of stories how you should wait to see where your hairloss is heading and that i was too young for a HT but I still went for it and im really happy that I went with Dr. Rahal. He was really able to project my future hair loss and told me it will be one transplant at a time. So in total i will probebly need to go for another HT to cover my crown but that wont be for a while still , since i still have good covereage. Basically its all about your surgon and how good he is at forcasting your hair loss considering your age , family history etc. And from the begining Dr Rahal advised me that i will need to go for most likely 3 sessions spread out on a 10 year spam. Its now been almost 5 years since my first session and another one done last year. I'm assuming a 3rd one will be needed in 3 to 5 years. Basically never let your age be a factor in your HT decision ... the younger you are, the better you'll feel about the results. The most important key is just to choose the RIGHT Dr. I defenitly recomment Dr. Rahal. Not only a great Dr. but an amazinf artist. He truely gave me the best value for my Money. Hope this helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you state your opinion above, I would argue that 1) Age is a huge factor in whether you should have a HT 2)"the younger you are, the better you'll feel about the results" is completely false, someday you will understand. 3) "The most important key is just to choose the RIGHT Dr." should be conditioned with, and you are the RIGHT patient!

Senior Member Sparky Posted December 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2009 Age is definatly a factor when it comes to an HT, I had one at 22 and it was basically the worst mistake of my life. No one needs a HT and you have plenty of time to make sure you definatly want one. IMHO 25 is the absolute minimum that someone should consider and HT. On another note, this looks like a great result, as always from Dr Rahal.

HairHope i do still back what i said, if you need more exlaination ... well when i say the younger you arethe better you will feel about he result is based on obviously obtaining good results. Basically if i would have waited long to geting my HT 's i woudn't have acomplished anything what so ever and had the same results, why not enjoy them soon rather then later? This is my point, im sure that even when you wait youll be happier... but in my case, if i waited i would of regreted not having my procedures done earlier. When i say the RIGHT Dr. .... i mean someone with a good rep and that had much success before,,, NO ONE knows if your the right patient untill after you do your HT. So basically dont go for any JOEBLOW out there just because he can do it, Do it with someone that is known and has experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE let us know. to be honest i dont know the numbers but i know i could of chosen to have more hair per CM square. Basicaly i decided to go for a medum dense coverage all arround because i know i will need some of my donor area for a third HT later on. my hair is medium fine, very easy to fix and with some gel can look a litle toocfine but i chose to put wax on it... if anything the wax makes it look thicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
