Regular Member DeDom Posted August 16, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi Azza, good luck fot HT#2. I'm a NW2/3 after my first HT with the old team of Dr. Seager in germany (1463 grafts into the corners of my receding hairline). I'll have my second procedure with Rahal in november (1700-2000 grafts). Would be nice to meet you in ottawa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member youngsuccess Posted August 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hey azza, Can't beat 1500 grafts for free. I can see why you'd be dissapointed, but I think this case represents the reality of going for that kind coverage with a relatively smaller amount of grafts. 7000 grafts seems to be around the magic number if you are attacking most of the scalp; anything under that and I think people should be prepared for a moderate amount of see-through. It's obvious that the hairline needed more attention though. On the positive, you now have enough hair that with a denser hairline (right in the front and middle) you can probably pull of a good look if concealer is used on the rest (or maybe just the right styling). I think you mentioned before that you do indeed use it. If you wouldn't mind, I would love to a shot of your hair in its current state with concealer in. ------- All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

Senior Member lorenzo Posted November 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 2, 2008 Good luck. Thanks for being honest for your pictures and your results. I am sure your will be happy. Adrian; I have heard nothing but good things about both Dr. Rahal results and his service. Looking at the pictures it appears in my opinion that not all the grafts grew on his hairline especailly on the right side. I understand his is not the easy case but at the end is there any concern that this may happen in the second procedure and why it happens on the first. Please don't take this the wrong way.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted November 12, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2008 I trust this will get you to the "illusion" of density required to pull off a cool look and square you away for the time being! Look forward to seeing the outcome; you deserve a great one. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Senior Member Eman Posted November 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 azza- I had scabs a little past the three week mark. not all over, but some were still present. No worries though as those scabs will fall as you know and then the shed will begin. Oh and wantego had his procedure July. We in North America aren't smart enough to write the date in the proper order of day/month/year--we put the month first. My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out...

Senior Member Eman Posted November 20, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2008 looking right where you should be azza!! I am sure that you are looking forward to heading home.
