    Hello! Procedure 2 is done. This was a smaller case of about 1800 grafts really densely packed. The goal was to lower the corners and straighten/thicken the hairline for the slick back look im trying to achieve. i attached some photos. Look closely at the side by side - left photo was post my first operation and right photo was yesterday’s post op picture

    To anyone curious- i currently style my hair sorta natural as seen in the photo attached

    WOW! You look great. Just checked out your thread. hey if anybody thinks I’m crazy I just tell them sunk cost fallacy. I invested a lot of money and I don’t mind spending more to get the exact result I want. I feel like it’s almost wasted money otherwise.
  6. Mike V
    Amazing! Looks great. How many procedures did you get done?

    I just added some photos! also- look into a keratin treatment. Makes the hair much more easier to manage

    I attached some photos. First surgery really covered the bulk of my thinning..second should get my hairline to exactly where I want The 2 pictures with lines drawn are my hair completely pushed back (I don’t style it that way right now) you can see what I’m really going for with the new lines- I’m basically keeping the center line and just giving it a straighter hairline by lowering the corners (The lines are roughly drawn in by me-Dr Bloxham will make the official decision day of surgery)

    The way I style it currently is fine but if I gel it back the hairline is more curved...I’m really trying to go for the straighter look- in order to do that he needs to lower the corners and re pack the whole frontal band.

    UPDATE: HAIR GREED IS A THING. I just booked my second surgery with Dr. Bloxham for December 15th. surgery plan is to lower my corners/straighten my hairline and densely pack 1800 grafts in that area. I’m super excited..the goal is to really be able to push back my hair and feel 100% comfortable doing so. stay tuned for updates !

    I wish I could take credit! Those most recent photos for right after I went to my buddy’s salon. He’s a professional
  12. Mike V
    Haha thank you! Scar is invisible. He did a great job
  13. Mike V
    Yes! Very Frizzy and nappy. My mom has the same issue- she gets a keratin Treatment done twice a year

    That was a low 2 Blended up originally...I’m letting my hair grow out now though I’m going for this look
  15. Mike V
    Thank you!!

    Long overdue for an update: my hair texture is very hard to manage so I was having trouble letting my hair grow long. I recently decided to try a keratin treatment and the results were outstanding! Going forward I am changing my style and putting this new hair to work. I’m going to let my hair grow out more..I attached some photos of an update - look how amazing the frontal sense packed band looks done by Dr Bloxham

    Looks awesome man! pretty much identical to me at every stage so far. To be completely transparent with you- month 6-7 you’ll be happy with the results but still be like eh..and month 9-10 you’ll be blown away.. the amount it sensed up as it got closer to a year was crazy. keep patient and don’t overthink anything!! It’ll be amazing when everything matures.

    Yes my barber is currently a good friend of mine...regardless of who your barber is, be open about it! Don’t have any shame. Make sure they know so that the haircut is done correctly.
  19. Mike V
    you’ll get the same result! When’s surgery? Scar is very tiny. Some shock hair loss around the scar but it’s getting better...I have my barber do a low fade with a 2 blended up and it works out perfectly.

    Hey guys! Sorry I’ve been slacking on updating this thread. I am officially 12 months post-op and the results are quite incredible. I haven’t been able to get to Dr. Bloxham’s office for 12 month photos due to this coronavirus pandemic but I have a few I took myself.
  21. Mike V
    Not exactly sure. I did a lot of research and believe in Dr Bloxham’s knowledge that FUT was the right procedure for me to start with, regardless of price. So essentially the pricing was not the deciding factor.
  22. Mike V
    Hey guys! So it’s been two weeks of letting the top grow in length. The difference already in my style is amazing.
  23. Mike V
    Thank you Brotha!! Going forward, I am letting the top grow out now this way I can style it. I’ll keep updating this thread.
  24. Mike V
    The bangs are gone!! Thank god. thank you! I will update this thread again once the length comes in on top!
  25. Mike V
    7 month follow up with Dr Bloxham! Met with Dr. Bloxham yesterday and took some photos. The comparison photos are incredible. He still believes I have ways to go as far as thickening and maturing.....I’ve been purposely keeping my hair shorter on top until everything really start to grow in evenly. He said within the next 2-3 months it will be amazing with some added length and more maturing. I added the photos he took to show you where I am at right now.
