Regular Member jbkg Posted July 8, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted July 8, 2009 i had 2 poor hair transplants. in order to repair the damage,i have scheduled a surgery with dr rahal on 14 july 2009. jbkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wanthairs Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 this also looks like you had them far too young and now your hair has naturaly receded behind the transplants. This again shows what a mistake it is for such young people to have work done low around the hairline and not take propecia and rogaine to try and halt further loss. I hope you are taking meds to prvent further losses and I am sure you will have a good experience with Rahal. Tell us the details of yoru first transplants and who the doctor was...

Regular Member jbkg Posted July 8, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 8, 2009 the 1st h.t was from an unknown doctor in greece. you are right ,i was very young and i was not well informed. that made me an ideal victim-patient. the 2nd was with DHI Athens. my goal was to add density to the frontal and midscalp area and to remove some grafts from the corners.they just did nothing.AVOID DHI ATHENS fortunately,i found this site. i am on propecia,minoxidil and shampoo with ketoconozale for 7 months. i hope dr rahal can repair the damage. i know it's my fault and i regret it everyday. wish me luck guys because i need it. jbkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Speegs Posted July 9, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2009 You don't look bad, even the thinning looks natural to me, don't be selfconscious; my only concern is the scar tissue that will be at the back of your head after thee surgeries.

Raphael84 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Congrats on the recent surgery. You sure have chosen wisely with Dr. Rahal. You pre op situation was not bad. Without close inspection, I would even say natural. However, as your pattern progressed, this would not be the case. You no longer have to worry about this. Just be patient for the months ahead, and enjoy your soon visible results. Good luck man!

Regular Member jbkg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 11, 2009 hi guys,thanks for the comments. i posted some new photos on my album. i am now almost 1 month post op. the crusts have gone. only some white 'things' are still in my hair. when i massage the grafted area in the shower i see a lot of grafts on my finger,this is normal,isn't it? i think everything is allright. AJKV,i think dr rahal removed the previous grafts with fue.is there any other way? as you can see in my photos the red dots were the grafts were removed are fading away. dr rahal told me that there are left 100 grafts to be removed in the future.easy and small procedure as he said. he said he can recommend to me a doctor in europe so that i don't have to go all the way to canada again.(i am from greece). but if the result is good i can go back to canada by swimming! guys after the 1st month,should i keep applying polysporin oinment to the scar? jbkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
