Mike V 5 Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 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 post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
Tbcruz 88 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I had mine feb 4th you can see my link with my progress in my signature. My scar looks good so far. It’s just this red line that I have.

Make sure they know so that the haircut is done correctly. I have no problem telling people, but I want to wait til I have something to brag about first lol. 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. The reason I asked you was because I was just curious. Link to post Share on other sites
Irry88 28 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Looking good man, I had a procedure of 1500 grafts with Bloxham on the 13 of this month. The scar isn’t too bad. My thread link is below Link to post Share on other sites
Mike V 5 Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 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 post Share on other sites

Yes! Very Frizzy and nappy. My mom has the same issue- she gets a keratin Treatment done twice a year 1 Link to post Share on other sites
aaron1234 763 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 An enviable result and even with my trained eye I would not be able to detect a transplant. Good call with FUT with Dr. Bloxham. Congrats! Link to post Share on other sites

pkipling 124 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 These results are top notch! I'm also envious of your ability to properly style your hair, which is something I will forever struggle with. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites
BeHappy 606 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I like the new look with a bit of length on the sides better than the shaved sides look. I never liked the look of having a lot of hair on top and shaving the sides. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike V 5 Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 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 post Share on other sites

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? Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Mike V 5 Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 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 post Share on other sites
