There’s always those factors you can’t account for, sometimes it can be down to the physiology of the particular patient. When dealing with the human body there is no garantee with any surgical procedures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to sound contradictory. After having done both FUT and FUE, FUT is barbaric in comparison. Much more invasive, and the recovery time is literally like day and night. That said, I'm glad I did FUT first for the higher graft count, and then FUE for a smaller session. In my mind, it just makes sense to do FUT first so you don't 'moth eat' or thin out your donor site on the first pass with a high graft count. Buuuut... I wouldn't dissuade anyone from doing FUE either because you're not taking a chunk of scalp out of your noggin.

Regular Member John Doe Posted January 5, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 5, 2019 I’m having a video consultation with Rahal in two weeks. Waiting to hear back from HW. Will try to do in person consultations after I get my passport. I’m to the point of one or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to go the FUT route this first time for the reasons you state. But I'm still a little wheezy about the more invasive nature of the procedure. I never really considered FUT until I started seeing some of the results from guys like Hasson. I always figured I would go the easier FUE route, so I am definitely having to adjust my mindset and get comfortable with something that's a little more invasive than originally planned.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2019 There’s really no reason to choose FUE with the hair length you keep. FUE is better suited for guys who like to keep their sides really short. FUT is cheaper and just as good if not better. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member JayLDD Posted January 5, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2019 If worried about further losses and the hair is typically at that length, FUT with either HnW or Rahal definitely should be top considerations.

Regular Member JohnRoss Posted January 10, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have had two FUT procedures with Rahal and I think it was the best thing I have ever done. I think you get better growth, faster and you don't get the moth eaten look at the back. The scar only becomes an issue if you plan to shave your head in the future (which I never would do). It's true that the recovery is worse with FUT, but it is a week out of your life. Who cares for a lifetime of great hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had gotten in touch with Rahal's clinic and spoke to his rep when I was researching doctors for my first procedure, but as I dug a little deeper I had started to see enough negative results/experiences that I ultimately eliminated him from my list. Again, good luck in your search. Since21 Could you possibly elaborate a bit on which negative results/experiences ultimately turned you off from him ?

It was 5 years ago. When you do your research, you are evaluating and disseminating a lot of information and results. I talked to 5-6 doctors once I narrowed down my search, looked at hundreds of results, talked to patients, spent many hours on this forum, etc. I don't remember specific cases or results, to be honest. I just remember there were enough mixed results to steer me in another direction. 3,425 FUT grafts with Dr Raymond Konior - Nov 2013 1,600 FUE grafts with Dr Raymond Konior - Dec 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member home1212 Posted January 23, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 23, 2019 If its strictly between Rahal and Edrogan, Rahal for the refinement and naturalness of the hairlines that he produces - whether FUT or FUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
