2500 FUE with Dr. Rahal

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm a 24 year old asian male and I started losing hair at a very early age. By the time I was 24, I already lost most of my hair and it was taking a big toll on my well being and confidence. I did 2500 grafts with Dr. Rahal and I couldn't be happier. Doing this hair transplant was life changing and this will be something I will never regret.

It's been about 6 months since my hair transplant with Dr. Rahal and I have been very satisfied with my results so far. I was very hesitant to do this surgery at first but I wanted to thank my girlfriend for helping me take the leap of faith and doing hours of research to find the right doctor to get everything right. I couldn't have done it without her.

The procedure with Dr. Rahal went very smoothly. The accommodations were great for recovering patients and the staff was professional and thorough. Unfortunately, my donor area is not very dense so getting the 2500 grafts was a struggle. There was not a lot of pain during the procedure but it was definitely a long day. The recovery process was rough and tedious the two weeks but it was definitely manageable. I would definitely recommend having someone help out during the recovery process because it would've been 10 times harder if I had to do it alone. After I was given the okay by the clinic, I started taking finasteride and using minoxidil. I haven't really experienced any side effects and I plan to continue the medication.

When trying to decide whether or not to do the procedure, I found it very helpful to look at the results of people with similar hair loss so I'm going to try and return the favor and share some post and pre-op photos for any curious researchers out there.

It's been 6 months so far and it seems like most of the grafts have grown out already but I'll continue to update each month until I hit that 1 year mark. Hopefully the results will be even better by then!

That is a very satisfying series of images 👌

Thanks for the write up, looks like Rahal gave you a great looking and natural hairline that will age well if you lose more hair. 

Having a significant other who is supportive goes such a long way. I don’t think I would have had my own procedure without my gf’s support. Congrats and enjoy the rest of your growth!

Wow this is a great result so far, it's good to see a solid result from Rahal, do you remember the name of the techs involved? Also, how involved was Dr Rahal himself?

Also do you have pics of your donor area right after the transplant and int he proceeding months?
