My FUE With Dr Rahal - Month 4

[mattj]

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, I’m paying close attention.

I chose to have the photos taken without any styling products – I wanted them completely natural. But my hair is now very stylable. More stylable than it has been in many years. I went to a new barber and he had no idea I’d had anything done, although I did tell him and he had many questions. I normally decline styling products at the barbers as I’m going to wash my hair as soon as I get home, but I decided to let him put a little product in and, well, it was extremely satisfying to have a hairline that I can do something with. For close to a decade now I had given up on trying to achieve a proper style with it, as my hairline was too receded and thin to allow for it and products always made it look worse.

I had forgotten what it was like to be able to quickly and easily make it look good. Now I’ve already forgotten what it was like to be receding!

I had these taken last week but delayed posting due to illness.

A reminder of where I started. I had 2502 grafts in total. I had forgotten how bald I was!

Brilliant Matt can't wait for mine early next year I have a slightly better starter point so really positive about my end result.

Looks like we're both ahead of schedule Matt. At this rate I can't see it taking a year for me to be at "full result". I bought a big bottle of Toppik assuming my hair would be thin for quite awhile, but I shouldn't have bothered because I don't think I'll use much of it!

What do you think about your own full result time-scale?

Wow, that looks great. Good job.

Matt, I am turning 26 this year and I've stabilized my hairloss on meds and I'm starting to consider seeing Dr. Rahal for a procedure. Ideally I'd like to do FUE but I wanted to ask and hopefully you could give me an honest opinion, do you think the yield Rahal and other surgeons get doing FUT is better than FUE or at this point is it just preference mostly?

I've heard from various people that you get a better yield from FUT but I'd rather not have such an invasive procedure.

Really nice Matt!

What is that, like 25 square cm? So a placement of about 100 fu / sq-cm?

That's really impressive.
