My Rahal Experience - 2502 FUE

[mattj]

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:

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:

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?

[Ryan Daniel]

Amazing result Matt!

[mattj]

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?

[mattj]

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.

[mattj]

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.
