The Unrivalled Champion of Hair Restoration

I have had two hair transplants with Dr Rahal, 12 years apart, and I cannot begin to tell you how much of a positive impact he has had on my life.

I started loosing my hair in my early 20s and by mid-20s I was well on my way to advanced hair loss. I started taking the meds, which stopped the hair loss, and went to Dr Rahal for my first transplant. At that time, FUE was in its infancy, and so I had a strip procedure. Before going to Rahal I consulted with every notable hair transplant surgeon at the time and I can tell you that none of the others had results that looked anywhere near as good as Rahal. It was a no brainer. I travelled to him from Europe to have the surgery and I am not going to lie, the recovery was pretty intense, and I remember thinking I wouldn't do it again, but the results were absolutely incredible. Like, no one would ever believe I had a hair transplant - he literally achieved full density for me at the hairline, which is something I have never seen any other doctor achieve. Most hair transplants look good from a distance, but you can tell the density isn't quite there when you are up close - but not with Rahal.

The only thing I wasn't 100% happy with from my first surgery was the height of my hairline. I wanted to bring my hairline down further, but he advised against it at the time because I was still young and I might need the rest of my donor supply to cover the back of my head in time. Thankfully however the meds did a great job of maintaining my existing hair and so I went back to him last year, this time in my late 30s, to have a further procedure to lower my hairline more.

I cannot tell you how happy I am with the outcome. If you were to look at my hairline, you would think I had a normal 21 year old hairline - the density and shape are literally perfect. I cannot overstate how great a job he did and I genuinely do not believe any other doctor, anywhere in the world, would be skilled enough to produce the result he did. He is a uniquely skilled doctor.

The surgery itself is not easy going. The procedures are painful, and there can be significant swelling (I looked like I had been in a boxing match both times), and Ottawa is not the easiest place in the world to get to. But I would do it all again in a heart beat if I had to. I am so incredibly grateful to him and his amazing team I would give him a million stars if I could!
