Any tips for making it easier to breath during the surgery? 

it was one of those light blue ones that arent that heavy/constricting to your face/mouth. it honestly wasnt bad at all. I forgot I even had it on until I looked back at the pictures I took mid surgery

yes

looks great. thats a dream hairline. it will be interesting to see your results this time around from the same Dr.

I cant wait for mine to grow from Dr. B.

good luck!

Oh, sorry, I completely missed that. 😮 I guess I'll start following that thread from now on. 😁

What do you mean the hairline was not holding up? 😕 You started losing ground, or you felt like the frontal regions were not matching the regrowth you got behind it?

started losing ground in comparison to my first regrowth wave. it was still above baseline when I wasnt on fin, but I wanted to really strengthen the hairline and forget about it

Update: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/58261-2561-fut-dr-bloxham/

Got a hair transplant in November. My hairline was just not holding up. Crown still doing well though.

try not to worry man. you’re right where you should be. stay strong

any chance we can see pics of the scar revision when its healed and grown?

also sorry if I missed it, but do you know how many grafts went into the scar?

nice result 

i shaved my head down to a #1 before deciding on my transplant. it was pretty helpful I must say and the hair grew back at the same rate it was growing.

gotta bite the bullet

in my opinion that price range is just not worth it. many surgeons in north america are equally capable of giving you a great result at a much lower price, but that’s just me... no surgeon can guarantee results

thats the cleanest donor site I've ever seen

I also dont think we're giving enough credit to Dr. Bloxham for using 2000 grafts in that amount of space. Look back on the first page and see the graft placement. Excellent result for that mount of grafts

I dont see either doctor posting results here lately. Can't remember the last time I saw one. Or am I mistaken l? Thanks

there’s like 4-5 threads for bloxham within 2020. all with great results

goals. i can’t wait till mine starts to grow

I had my staples removed at day 9 and Dr. Bloxham said my scar and recipient looks how he'd expect someone at day 14. Everyone is different in healing so its hard to put an exact science on it. I personally would've felt more comfortable waiting until 14 day mark, just cause I'd rather risk short term pain for long term cosmetics, but it was just too convenient to see Dr. Bloxham at day 9 to pass up

for what its worth I had my staples removed on day 9 post op

i’d say like 4 weeks post op i started sleeping on my stomach sometimes 

yup. i was under the impression i’d be feeling good once the staples came out but that wasn’t the case. i used a neck pillow sleeping for like the first 3 weeks or so

im 5 weeks post-op FUT and still feel sore on my incision line. Numbness in the recipient and tightness in the donor faded by week 3 or 4.

only thing still lingering is soreness on the incision line and numbness above the incision line. however its slowly fading a little each day. I'd say in another 2-3 weeks it should be gone which would align with 2 months post op

hows this lookin chief 

Finasteride is never "required". Finasteride is only encouraged because it will slow down/halt your native hairs from miniaturizing and dying out. It does nothing for the actual transplanted hair. One question to ask is, how will you look if you get a transplant into your hairline and the rest of your hair falls out down the line? Are you able to have more procedures? Do you have the time, money, donor for it? It's all about the long term plan and not the "right now" with finasteride.

You may cover your hairloss OK right now, but I wouldnt be surprised if you head towards a NW5 in the next few years

any relation to Rodrigo blankenship?

Dr. Panine has put out some solid results on this forum. If you're also looking at Chicago you have to look at Dr. Konior and Dr. Nadimi

actually very impressive with that donor

I washed my head "normally" and would see hairs shed in the shower. not much out of the shower.

I shed I'd say 75% of them from day 10 to day 15. Remaining 25% shed from day 16 to day 21

awesome you got in on such short notice. will be following! was this FUE or FUT?
