I'm glad to see so many positive reviews about Dr. Rahal! I had my FUT with him around eight months ago, and I went for 3200 grafts. My total cost was about $6500, and I found the follow-up care to be really thorough. They were always available to answer my questions and check on my progress. I started using minoxidil about a month after the procedure. At the six-month mark, I was really impressed with how much coverage I was seeing already, especially in the crown area, which was my main concern. It's worth mentioning, too, that I had some concerns about scarring, but at this point, it's looking pretty good. I would recommend keeping an eye on the growth during the first few months, it can be a bit of a roller coaster! How are you feeling about the procedure? Any specific worries?

It’s great to see everyone sharing their experiences! I wanted to add that I had my FUT with Dr. Rahal back in April, and I went with 3500 grafts. The total came to around $7000. I was really impressed with how he and his team handled everything - they made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and explained each step to me. Recovery was smoother than I expected. I was back to work after just a week, though I did take a full two weeks just to play it safe.

Regarding medications, I started taking finasteride a few months before the procedure, hoping to maintain what I have. They recommended I continue with it after the transplant along with minoxidil. It’s been about six months and I can already see some good changes - the density is starting to look promising! Has anyone tried PRP with their FUT? I’ve heard mixed reviews about it but am curious about adding it down the line.

I've been looking into Dr. Rahal too and just wanted to add that the post-op support seems solid based on what I've read. It’s good to hear that you guys had positive experiences with follow-ups! I haven't had a FUT done yet, but I’ve noticed a lot of folks mentioning that they started seeing significant growth at around the 6-month mark. I'm currently on finasteride and considering minoxidil after the procedure. Has anyone felt that using PRP along with the treatment made a notable difference? Also, what do you think about the long-term maintenance after the surgery? Is it mostly just continuing with medications, or do people find they need touch-ups down the line?

Just to chime in, I've been researching FUT options and Dr. Rahal is definitely a top contender. My friend had his FUT done with him about a year ago and said he paid around $6800 for 3000 grafts. He mentioned that the healing process took about 10 days, which is quicker than he anticipated. What caught my attention was that he started seeing noticeable results within 4 months! That's pretty impressive.

Also, I've come across some reviews that suggest Dr. Rahal is methodical with his technique, which seems to be a game-changer, especially for FUT where you want the best density. I'm curious if anyone has combined treatments like PRP with their FUT at his clinic? I've read that it can enhance growth post-surgery.
