Regular Member hitherehair Posted February 14, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hey Midwestern looking good! I had a 3500 graft FUT done by Dr Bloxham back on Nov 27 bout a month after you! I think i'm starting to see new growth as well. Supposedly the third month is when the growth begins. How's your donor looking? Perhaps you could include those pics as well. Check out my album if you have a minute. The pics are dated so you can see my weekly progress. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B135Uzl7VCpbDf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Midwesterner Posted February 20, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi there hitherehair! I looked at your album. Those pictures look all too familiar to me!! Your surgery looks very similar to my surgery. Yours was a little bigger though. I think I am just starting to see growth. I am at 14 weeks approximately now. I am out of the ugly duckling phase as they call it on here. Looking better and better. My donor looks good. I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. My scar has always been difficult to pick up, but I did leave my hair longer than yours. I am trying to be more active on the forum so I will follow your progress. It looks good to me so far!

Regular Member Midwesterner Posted February 20, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2018 I will put up a picture of my donor in the next few days so you can see it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Midwesterner Posted February 23, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hey hitherehair. I'm putting a recent picture of my donor below. I have not had any issues at all. I think leaving my hair longer helped. I know all guys can't do this, but it helped me a lot during the recovery. I think I have a small amount of shock loss below it still, but the scar looks great even right now. It could stay like this and I would be all good!

Regular Member hitherehair Posted February 23, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted February 23, 2018 Awesome! I think i'm having a bit of shock loss above and below as well. Perhaps this is why it's so visible when you look at the back of my head. But hey, were still extremely early in the game and shouldn't be making complete assessments. How's your recipient? You should definitely be seeing some noticeable growth at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Midwesterner Posted March 1, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2018 I think I have some shock loss right below too. Keeping mine longer definitely helped. Dr Bloxham told me almost everyone has some shock around the scar, but it is temporary. My recipient is looking better all the time! I recently cut it shorter and tried some coloring. I definitely have more hair so it was possible to do more with it at the barber. I am very happy with how it is growing in. The right side is a lot slower than the left, but I asked Dr Bloxham about this and he said it is totally normal. Here is a picture around 15 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Midwesterner Posted March 14, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 14, 2018 Things are really happening now! I am going to put in a picture I took at about 18 weeks. Really seeing some growth now! My hair is about all the same length too and I am actually really liking it short. Haven't looked like this in years. I would be happy even if it stopped here, but Dr Bloxham says I am just getting started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hitherehair Posted March 14, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted March 14, 2018 Wow! Dam right things are happening! Big difference from previous weeks. The haircut definitely helped bring things together too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Midwesterner Posted March 27, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2018 Let my hair grow a little bit more (taking biotin which seems to make it grow very fast) and I am starting to see everything come together now. I like this top picture I took recently. I am really happy with how much better the back parts of the middle and the very back look with the new transplant in the front. This picture is right around 5 months. Excited!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Midwesterner Posted June 6, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hi all!!! Got caught up with things and missed my 6 month update. I am going to share picture I took somewhere between 6 and a half and 7 months. I am just a little over 7 months now, and VERY happy with my hair. I would be happy if it stopped here, but I sent dr bloxham the pictures and he said I still have a lot left to grow! Here are the pictures. Let me know what you think and if you guys think I really have more to come! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Midwesterner Posted June 6, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2018 Almost forgot to say that Dr Bloxham also told me he would put my current pictures in the side by side view with my pictures before surgery so I can see how far I have come. I will put that up here when he sends it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member hitherehair Posted June 7, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted June 7, 2018 Awesome buddy! Feeling a bit jealous to be honest. I'm 6 months and a week out and i'm waiting for my left side to fill in. Hopefully in a couple weeks i'll be where you're at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Midwesterner Posted August 13, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Everything looks different here! I hope I do this right....... I am going to share pictures taken right around 9 months. I am VERY happy with where I am at now. Dr Bloxham said it still looks 'immature' and will thicken even more, but I am totally happy with where it is now. I have achieved my goal and I am also happy with how much better the back looks with the transplanted hairs in the front. Dr Bloxham said this would happen but I was not sure until I saw it all combed together. My hair is kind of wet in the pictures and I just had a shorter haircut, but I think youll get the idea. I also tried to show a picture of the scar but it is very hard to pick up. My barber has a hard time finding it! The doctor said I have tighter skin and he expected it to heal well and it really did. I found the original consultation pictures I sent Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham too, so I am going to try and put those up soon. I also tried to make these smaller because the other ones all come up huge!

Senior Member voxman Posted August 13, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2018 That is a good result. Someone asked why you didn't do it earlier - for me it was simple, I got my 1st one at 64 years old in 2014. If I had it done in my 20's that would have been back in the 70's when they were making incisions with stone tools and 1/4 inch drill bits. That's the Dolls Head years - no thanks. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Midwesterner Posted October 10, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2018 I am almost at 12 months. October 30 will officially be a year. Things are right where I hoped they would be and I am VERY happy! I want to share a picture I took with my phone earlier. My hair is longer than normal, but this picture really shows how well this worked for me!! I am going to get a haircut soon and then I will have someone else take better pictures for the almost 1 year. I also want to see if Dr Bloxham can put some of these pictures next to each other with his pictures. This way everyone can see the comparison. So happy I got this done!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
