3900 with one strip?

Yes. Even he was surprised with how much he was able to get.

congrats man. Bloxham brought you back to life

Thanks! That's an excellent way of putting it and exactly how I feel.

This is where I am going next Christmas Love seeing his good results!

One thing I have noticed is he doesn't like to rebuild temples very much. Have you considered it? I feel like it would give your result a huge aesthetic boost.

Anyways, congrats OP!

Edit: 3900 seems a lot but looking closer not really- Bloxham most definitely planned on the tuft that remained pre-op to eventually disappear and thus implanted over it (he said the same thing about mine when I did a live consultation with him last summer). OP had the entire frontal 3rd restored (most likely a bit of the mid scalp as well), which makes the graft count seem more reasonable.

He quoted me around the same amount of grafts for the frontal third (I think he said 3400 for me) and I have much more hair, but I am also diffuse thinning all over my scalp in a NW5 pattern. 

I just posted a post-op pic in response to someone else. You can kind of see how far back he went.

Regarding the temples, I decided to put my trust entirely in Dr. B. I'm very happy with the result and can't imagine changing anything for now. But you never know...

Great result. How old are you? 

I'm 32! Too young to be bald, I felt

For 8 months this looks particularly good. Would you be able to show the donor area ? And any post op pics ? Thanks 🙏 

Here is immediate post-op. I'll try to take a pic of the back of my head. It looks complete normal though.

Excellent results! 👌 Are you taking Finasteride or anything to stabilize your hair loss? Thanks for sharing! 

I'm not! Just using minoxidil. I tried Finasteride for about a month many years ago but had a bad experience. That may have been psychological though, given all the stories you read about it. In any case I decided it wasn't for me.

Hey, all. Just wanted to share my results at 8 months after a 3,900 graft FUT with Dr. Bloxham. I'm very happy with how it came out. Dr. Bloxham is a legend.

All the best to everyone!
