We're getting to the end of the updates, and some things have changed. This is at 9.5 months, but I also decided to do SMP. There was a little stretching with one part of the scar in the donor area, and so I initially decided to do SMP to minimize its visibility, but Dr. Mohebi said it was safe to do the rest of the head at the time as well. So, that's what we did.
Because I don't ever intend to shave my head, I opted for a more aggressive measure with the pigments placed closer together th
Here's how things look a little under 6.5 months in. I knew there was progress but I didn't realize it was actually pretty significant until I reviewed the last update again. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress over the next couple of months. The front hairlines is already a huge improvement so hopefully the results will be similarly positive farther back.
Here's where I'm at as of September 12th, about 5.5 months in. Still not much of a change since last time, but that's what I was told to expect. I'm told to expect changes around 10 months and maybe notice a difference around 8 months. It does seem a little bit thicker to me with my hair down but when it's up it seems like's nothing has changed. So I'm just being patient for now and looking forward to added density hopefully less than five months away!

This is where I'm at as of August 14th, 2013. That's about 4.5 months in. Pretty much the same as last time (it might look a little thinner but that's because my hair is wet and shorter) which is to be expected. I'll have another update around the six month mark. I've been told I shouldn't expect to be able to see a huge difference around then and will notice it more around 8-10 months, but maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be apparent earlier!
It's been a couple of weeks since my first update (https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/marklet/blog/3141/), so time for another one. As you can see in the attached image, pretty much all of the new hair has fallen out and so I'm back to normal again for awhile. Presumably these updates will look very similar for the next 3-4 months while a lot of waiting occurs, but then things should get at least start to get a little more interesting.
About two and a half weeks ago, I received my second FUT procedure from Dr. Parsa Mohebi. I had my first about a year and a half ago, just shy of 2100 grafts, to fill out my hairline. I went back to increase density with about another 1500 grafts. Everything is healing nicely, and I decided to track and share my progress here. This is just the beginning, so I thought I'd start by showing my hairline back before any procedures (~1.5 years) and where I'm at as of a couple days ago (a little ov
