    Default Dr. Rahal - Suspicious HT Surgeon

    i came across a HT surgeon by the name of dr. rahal. photos of his work look a bit suspicious and too good to be true. have any of you noticed this also?

    I'd do a bit more research before making claims like this. Dr Rahal's work is legit.

    He's considered amongst the elite. He's widely regarded as one of the top 5 strip docs in the world. The reason his results look so good is that he's willing to go a little more aggressive density and hairline wise. The number of extra grafts he's plants up front can probably be made up by additional FUE once the patient has been stripped out so to speak.

    i disagre with this assessment. how is it that no other doc can reproduce this work? why is it that hes the only one with pics showing full density??!!

    in one pic he shows a patient with absolute full density. no HT doc in the world can replicate sich density.

    in another pic he shows a patient with full density 4 MONTHS POST OP! at 2 months post op, he didnt have any hair in the upper temple area! that makes no sense! below are the pics, first at 2 months post op then 4 months post op:

    2 months post op:


    4 months post op:


    9 months post op:


    so how can this patient with NO hair in the temple area at 2 months post op now has full density at 4 months post op??!! i seriously question this guy. and at 9 months hes got density as if hes was a teenager??! this is scammish and anyone seeing this should avoid this con man.

    I don't see what you're seeing. In the 4 month pic, this guy still has a LONG ways to go for full density, although yes he did make tremendous strides between months 4 and 9. There are tons of Rahal patients who have documented their experiences here, way too many for it to be a "scam" as you say.

    i think u do see what i'm seeing. how can this guy's temple area with virtually no hair at the 2 month post op mark grow dense hair 2 months later?

    and at 4 months this guy has enough density. anyone can see that.

    if the pics are so dead on, why dont the youtube videos show rahal's same great work?

    You have a lot of researching yet to do. This guy posted his whole story on another forum. Like many of Rahal's patients, you can follow peoples experiences from month to month to see their progress. There is no scam.

    Dr Rahal is one of the leading surgeons in the world.

    Regarding the pictures, shockloss may have been experienced in the earlier months therefore making the patient look worse than pre-operation.

    And the picture in month 9 has got poor lighting, which makes the hair in the frontal area appear thicker.

    It is no scam.

    Dr Rahal is flattered that you think his work is too good to be true. Those photos show the patient who posts as capelli11. He was helpful enough to give monthly updates which show how his result grew in over time.

    Some video results:
