Regular Member Mike V Posted April 1, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 1, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Dr. Bloxham wants to show my face in a video I wouldn’t mind as long as I’m happy with my results.

Regular Member Mike V Posted September 17, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted September 17, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2020 Wow you have a amazing head of hair. Nice to see Dr Bloxhams work. Still remember when he was a mod here and doing his training. Now look. 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted September 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2020 I like the new look with a bit of length on the sides better than the shaved sides look.

Regular Member Mike V Posted October 27, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2020 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have any bad pictures your not showing? Lol , can’t imagine that being much lower unless your going for the John f Kennedy’s 👀 look. And density should be fine pushing that straight back in current form?

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.

Regular Member Mike V Posted October 27, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted October 27, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Wow, this is a great result. I understand hair greed as I suffer from it myself, but I really wonder where you want to fit 1800 FU? Do you have pics with the new design drawn? On 9/17/2020 at 3:41 PM, Mike V said: I’m going for this look I laughed so hard reading this, as I had exactly the same look from Jake as goal. Unfortunately my hair on the side donor is so thick and poorly angled: In this length even with the strongest styling options it sticks straight up. Then my head is wider than it is high^^ Had to shave it down... EDIT: you were quicker than me 🙂 Edited October 27, 2020 by Gasthoerer 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
