I had my initial consultation with one of Dr. Rahal’s consultants in July of 2013. He quoted me 3000 grafts; 2500 for my hairline and 500 for my crown. Both FUT and FUE were quoted and based on price…I went with FUT. I was aware of both procedures and because I don’t wear my hair particularly short and the price was cheaper, FUT seemed like the ideal choice for me.
It was the day of my surgery when I first met Dr. Rahal. I thought all that was left was for him to draw in my new hair line, ask me if I had any questions and start the procedure. He informed me that I would need another 300 grafts to complete the hair line and that he would not be able to work on the crown. I was somewhat crushed. Mind you, if I met with him a day earlier it would have had time to sink in but my surgery was an hour away. I was asked to see the receptionist to pay for the extra 300 grafts (approx. $1000). This payment caught me off guard but it was quickly justified. I was more disappointed not getting the coverage I was promised.
Just a heads up for those clients who did not have their consultation with Dr. Rahal.
