    My Rahal Experience - 2502 FUE

    Anybody who has been on these forums for a long time might remember me. I was associated with Dr Rahal for many years as a patient and as a consultant. My procedure with Dr Rahal was in February 2013 and I had 2502 grafts in an FUE procedure.

    Here is my initial thread detailing the experience:

    Hey guys, Im probably familiar to many of you as Dr Rahals forum representative and patient advisor, a position Ive held for a number of years now. Well, as the title suggests, now I am posting as a patient! I first discovered Dr Rahal when early onset male pattern baldness propelled me into the online hair loss


    Pre-op photos (more at link):




    The next morning (more at link):





    I experienced very quick growth, as I guessed I would as my hair (and nails) have always grown very fast. I had worn a hat for the first three months but even that was longer than necessary.

    This is my thread with photos at month 4:

    So month 4 has arrived! The growth which has occured since last month is obvious. In fact the difference between now and 2 weeks ago is clear to me when I look up close. As you can imagine, Im paying close attention. I chose to have the photos taken without any styling products I wanted them completely natural. But my


    Photos (more at link):



    I took some more at six months (with product):




    At the time I had a lot (and I mean a lot) on my plate with regard to my personal life. I stopped working for Dr Rahal and dropped out of the forums. I know a lot of people at the time wondered where I went and I can't stress enough just how happy I am to answer questions. I'm not shy and you won't offend me.

    Since that time, my life has improved dramatically. I now have a soon-to-be fiancé (shhh, she doesn't know yet!) and a young son who is currently 13 weeks old.

    I've been keen to get back on the scene, so here I am and here are some photos I've taken recently.














    Like I said, any questions are welcome.

    You look really good! That was a very successful surgery.

    Are you taking finasteride post-op now?

        Thanks guys!

        I was taking Finasteride once upon a time, for about 7 years. I stopped around 4 years ago and haven't seen any changes since then. If I've lost hair it has been very slow.

          What are you going to do if it starts receding behind the transplant though? Another surgery?

            If or when it comes to that, I'll undergo another procedure.

              Your story is motivating! Also, fantastic results! I am hoping for the same. As I did 2800 with Dr Rahal.

                Thanks Patrick! I've seen your post and it's very detailed - the kind of post that potential patients find very helpful. I can't wait to see photos.

                      Hi Matt,

                      What punch sizes were used?

                      What is th cost for this amount of grafts? I have a similar hairline to your preop

                      Are you on any other treatments?

                      How short can u buzz before the scarring in the donor is visible?

                      How many more grafts does Rahal say you have left?
