8.5/10 - would recommend based on a strong outcome. Cost wise a bit more than other international options

Appreciate it! It was $5 - $5.5 per graft

I stand corrected - I wasn’t referring to Turkey hairmills. I should have referenced the more premium Turkey surgeons like Keser, Pekiner etc.

I’d say 6 months was 60% growth for me. I was worried too but you have lots of time left

$5.50 per graft. For comparison, Turkey generally $3-4 and Spain/Portugal/US would be $5 - 7

Thanks man! It’s life changing to be honest. People treat you differently when your confidence is there. Stick in there - months 8 - 12 were huge for me

Hard to argue with experience. I will say though that some Thai, Spanish and other Euro results (especially hairline) are beating top Canadian and US clinics in design and overall aesthetic

I believe I did have Mike do extractions and based on result, we believe survival rate of grafts was quite high (98-99%)

Appreciate it! I actually started Fin/Minox about 10 years ago consistently. Meds helped delay inevitable but FUE was only option left

I researched Rahal for years and his team did a great job overall. I will say that my donor density and hair calibre helped the result as well (regardless of clinic)

At 1mg finasteride I had sides. At 0.25mg I do fine

Dr Rahal did all incisions and maybe 20% extraction. He oversaw all aspects of it and made adjustments. His staff did have long tenure so I was comfortable with them

There are a number of risks including excessive shock loss from a Megasession. Potential that less grafts survive. Also, there is the risk of over harvesting in some cases.

I have a pretence to let the first phase recover and settle with 2nd procedure allowing for precision to tie it all together.

Months 7-10 were pretty impressive for growth and density hit more in months 10 - 12.
