I spike it messy and throw a little hair fiber in for now. The pics are after a fresh wash, no styling effort made.

Feel pretty happy man. There’s no product in the pic. Fresh wash. I still use a little hair fiber but not much at all. Like I said, 8 months to go for round two op to be typically matured.

Update! I hit the year mark for the second op earlier this month. Will be interesting to see how it shapes out in the next 8 or so months.

I have no idea how many grafts I have remaining. I didn't hear anything regarding that during or after my operation. I know I was told I had plenty for the second operation. He did say that I should be good with two operations, so we'll see. I know I'm a slow grower so only time will tell. And yeah, I definitely got my hair genes from my dad who went bald so FUT was the right route. Not sure if I'd ever go a third operation. Tbh, the time of regrowth sucks when you just want to live your life with decent hair coverage / no hat. Not expecting a miracle but shooting for the best result. I'm not sure what graft distribution is.

Found it!

Hit the 6 month mark the other day. Progress pics:

Interested in this topic too

Three month update since my second FUT. Pictures shot in natural evening lighting.

Found another pic showing my hair loss in August 2019. Hope this helps. Feb 2022 was my first FUT transplant - 3339 grafts April 2023 was my second FUT transplant - 2512 grafts

Today marks 1 month out from the second transplant, just over ~2500 grafts

Best stuff is in this thread already. When I have time, will look for another pre-op pic.

Yes, I notice a big difference. The second HT covered gaps and moved its way back. Will post updates over the next couple years since that should be a long process I imagine. 2512 grafts for HT 2.

Hey all. Been awhile since I posted - 14 months since my first HT. Having my second HT this week. Hair after wash below.

I bled because I played tough guy at first and then when the bleeding started he had me revisit the numbing where I was more detailed if it legitimately hurt, which I did. No grafts popped out. He said dermarolling shouldn't have caused an issue regarding my procedure. I had stopped dermarolling months prior. He said he could feel vessels healing during my procedure, but that it shouldn't cause an issue. Hope that helps.

No problem. Look forward to see how it looks by month 18. To be fair, I wouldn't put the current status of my HT on Dr. Bloxham necessarily - it might be my physiology, or any number of factors, causing the slow growth or potential failed growth. There are some weird slow grower cases from my brief research where I could fall into. Time will ultimately tell, plus any insights he provides when I see him again in person at month 14 before doing the back half.
