Mike V 14 Posted April 1, 2020 Author 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 post Share on other sites

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. 1st procedure (8-4-17) - Dr. Luís Nader FUE 1551 grafts. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/49351-1551-grafts-with-luis-nader/?tab=comments#comment-455985 2nd procedure (2-4-20) - Dr. Blake Bloxham FUT 1986 grafts https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/55933-dr-blake-bloxham-fut/?tab=comments#comment-529401 Link to post Share on other sites

Mike V 14 Posted September 17, 2020 Author 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 post Share on other sites
JohnAC71 1,024 Posted September 17, 2020 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 post Share on other sites

pkipling 147 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 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. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to post Share on other sites
BeHappy 639 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 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 14 Posted October 27, 2020 Author 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 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?

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.

Mike V 14 Posted October 27, 2020 Author 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 post Share on other sites
