    5 weeks in now, the scar can no longer be seen, however it was difficult to see after 2 weeks, my hair is dark and grows like a weed... where it grows.

      I was happy with Dr Rahal's hairline he made me... I just wish he would have advised me to START finasteride or do a more receding hairline, as I'm now getting ready to commit to a 2nd surgery with no miracle in mind.

        How long ago was your surgery? He didn't mention using a treatment at all?

          As stated at the beginning of this thread, Marco was a patient of Dr. Rahal. And quite honestly, I have never seen anyone on any forum do more research on a surgery prior to actually getting one.

            i think HARIRI had a bad result with Rahal

            there was also someone who had 5000ish grafts and had a horrible result...5 years later

            the latter case is confusing. the commenter didn't elaborate and a rahal rep said they were trying to get in touch with the patient to no avail

            im considering rahal but am worried he's not as good or reliable as people say

            i dont like the notion that these HT docs make it so we have to keep coming back

                I think Dr Rahal is a good guy and up there with the best. But as others have said you have a limited donar supply and its very hard to predict your future loss. Do your research, there are hair transplant blogs with patients own results out there. A lot of results posted by doctors are there trophy results so best to try and get in contact with patients who are not involved with the clinics.

                As much as I hate having a linear scar from strip surgery, I have noticed with the influx of FUE there are many inconsistant results with poor growth out there and these are from the top doctors. They say FUE transaction rates have improved and are supposedely as good as strip. But I am finding that hard to believe based on these hairtransplant blog.s posted by patients

                I am currently researching fue into scar. As I dont want to bo through another strip. Unfortunately hairtransplant is not like a nose job or boob job where there is only a 2 week or so recovery time. It takes along time to heal, you need to keep out of the sun, etc etc for a god 4 months from my experience.

                    I just got 3134 grafts from rahal and Im 11 days post op. I can't say anything about the final result obviously but so far I can tell you his clinic is every bit as good as its reputation. I was terrified and on the fence but everyone there was knowledgeable and friendly. he talked me down to 3000 from 4000 but the placement and density looks great and natural. I know it sounds like I work there or something but I just feel good about my decision SO FAR. Don't take my word for it quite yet because I don't know the final result but I never once felt a shady vibe throughout this whole experience.

                      I'm hoping to have Rahal do my future HT but I'm just worried about the FUE results being inconsistent.

                        Hi NSix,

                        Have you contacted our clinic yet for an information session? We'd be happy to set this up to confirm you're a candidate for FUE, and share more of our FUE results with you.

                        Here are the last two FUE results we posted, and we've got many more to share:

                        Dr. Rahal, 1829 FUE
                        Dr. Rahal, 1801 FUE

                          I'm sure you have lots of good FUE results. What I'd be interested in hearing though is whether you've had any bad ones? Ones that just didnt turn out right?

                            You need to do more research. Hair transplants don't prevent hair loss. Until you stop the progression, your hair loss will continue. And there's not nearly enough donor hair to just replace everything you lose. You've already decided you want a hair transplant, but don't seem to understand them at all, which puts you at a high risk for disappointment (or worse). Hair transplants have definite limitations, risks and drawbacks. Until you've learned what those are and weighed them carefully, you shouldn't get any surgery at all, or even decide that you want one.

                              I've found a few discussion topics where people voiced their bad experiences with Dr. Rahal. The pictures of their results were shocking.

                              That being said, it was 2006-2008. I wonder how Dr. Rahal has done since then.

                                Are you serious?? I was thinking about getting a HT with Rahal too. Now I'm somewhat scared.

                                Can you say if Rahal has gotten better after 2008? I dont want to be disappointed if the HT turns out bad.
