Dr. Rahal patient - 1196 Grafts FUE - (immediate post-op)

[mattj]

This patient is 40 years old and has previously undergone 5 strip surgeries. The patient has donor scarring and a tight scalp, and it was decided that FUE was the best option. He wishes to soften his hairline and add density.

1196 grafts harvested.

Graft breakdown:
404 singles
573 doubles
219 three hair grafts

Hopefully the patient will be available for follow-up photos further down the line.

How much does a procedure like this cost?

I think I need around 1000 grafts(FUE) to restore my hairline. So I am looking into what options I might have

I can't see FUE prices on Rahal's site and have wondered this also. At least 6k though surely

Looks very clean post-op. This man appears to have quite good hair pre-op. mattj, given that his density in the hairline/forelock is still fairly strong, what is done to prevent/minimize shockloss and transection of existing grafts in the area?

[mattj]

I thought it looked rather thin pre-op. I think much of that hair would have been transplanted during the patient's previous 5 sessions (with another doctor) which I think lessens the chance of permanent shockloss in this case, as they will be stronger donor hairs. As with avoiding transection, paying close attention and being careful to avoid those hairs (which will be visible even when shaved) will be at the core of improving the odds. Care and patience.

Any photos of the final result or progress of this patient?

Thanks
