NEWHAIRPLEASE

Guys, I will be the first to admit Im guilty of living my life...Ive spent very little time on the board, for that, I apologize!! I was on here earlier this week and realized Dr Rahal was not listed as a recommended surgeon...Obviously I was concerned...I did some research and found out why,,,STUPID!!!!

I certainly hope this doesn't cost him clients!! He is an absolute excellent surgeon!! After this, I felt obligated to give an update on the man, Dr Rahal, who changed my look and my confidence level! I really have to keep my hair short because its such a drastic change..I am 100% completely ecstatic with my results!! The CRAZY THING is, I still feel stubble!! I know there is more to come..anyway, feedback will be appreciated! All of these pictures were taken outside in natural light...

I will be more involved on this board! I owe to the guys who helped me, and this community!

That is looking great!!

I was so anxious the first two weeks. It was the worst sleep of my life for two weeks. Dont wanna lay on the recipient area, don't wanna lay on the donor area, don't wanna wash to hard, dont wanna wash to easy!!!! You get the point...I would say yes, as long as there is no bleeding then you are fine. For me, at about three weeks I shed all my grafts and lots of native hair. I was way balder than I was going in. Now it has all come back plus!!!! Hang in there Spanker. You are an easy home run for someone like Dr Konior!!

Way too early for me to tell. Only two weeks so far.

Spanker,

That's what my hair looked like. I didn't really have scabs, I just looked like I had terrible dandruff!!! Man with your head of hair you are gonna have an Unbeliveable result!!! I remember when I had my consult with Dr Konior, he told me " if you hadnt had any previous work, I could make you look like a kid again". That's what you are gonna look like, a freakin teenager again!!! Your hair is gonna be great!!!

I really can't describe how good Dr Rahal is. He truly changed me. All for the positive. I have nothing, nothing but great things to say about Dr Rahal!!! He also calls and checks on me every 3 months to see how it's going.

It's been an excellent journey. Maybe I will be done for a few years, hopefully forever!!! We will see.

You need to do a lot of research. If you lose ALL your hair on top it's possible you may not. E a candidate for an hair transplant. On average you have 6-10k grafts in the sides and back. Yes surgery can effect how short you wear your hair as there will be a scar. In the hands of an excellent surgeon, all of this will

be okay though.

That swelling sucks!! Only last till about day 7 at worst. It literally drops down your face. I swelled really bad but by day 7 I looked almost normal. Hang in there.

There is not doubt that Stem Cells will play a role in all areas of medicine including hair restoration. It is just a matter of how and when.

I hope the " when " will be sometime in the next 20 years!!

I will I promise!!! Probably wait till around 9 months. Don't want to start a big countdown on photos becauses it might offend bonker!!!

My hair is doing great though. Still coming in. My wife MAKES me keep it short because she said it is absolutely amazing how much hair you have now.

I dont want to start the big HT story and then disappear.

I don't think I started the story and disapperared.if you looked at my blog at four months. If my story ended there, I'd be happy.

Been gone awhile, as others have noted, Im so happy for you. As you already know I love Dr Konior. You will have an excellent result as you already have great hair!!

Guys I'm doing great!!!! Guilty of enjoying my new lid!!! I promise I will update soon with pictures!!! I also promise to be involved again. Been so busy with work and vacation!! Hair is great though, no worries there!!!

I went to the doctor today. I'm gonna give this a try as well.

Dr Lindsey, or Dr Konior!!

Let me try and answer your question in my own words...not to say that it is right...First, DHT plays NO ROLE in hair loss unless you are genetically predisposed to be sensitive to it...Like us!!! Every man has DHT, just some aren't sensitive to it!! However, I would think a low testosterone level very well could effect graft growth..

I wouldn't have surgery without being on propecia!!! Just my opinion, especially if you have a lot of native hair left.

Your hair loss pattern looks very similar to mine, and it is certainly the age I started losing mine..Im 38 now...look at my photos..you can get hold of your hair loss, but its gonna take more than shampoo..you need minox and propecia ASAP...take that for a few years and then consider a HT if you so choose..first thing is to get the loss stopped!

I would say the sides are certainly more prone to stretching...any part is gonna stretch as a result of weight lifting too soon, but in general, yeah I think the sides are gonna stretch more...

Looking great Cap!!! My hair feels the same way...Im sure it will mature and get softer!!

I just got a chance to look at your pics...I think everything is looking on track as well..Hang in here man..I had a huge boom from 3-4 months and mine has slowed down too...I can still feel a lot of stubble so I know more is coming though!!

Thanks guys!!

Yeah, he never mentioned it to me one time. I mentioned it, but he never said a word. I know this, I think he feels pressure to keep producing results since so many are showing thier results online.
