I did indeed - a scalp biopsy was also done for me.
In terms of the procedure- pics attached.

Was nothing found with the biopsy as you went ahead with this second surgery? There weren't many single grafts in your hair count. Were some grafts split into singles or was the number sufficient to reinforce the immediate front?
Those 1000 grafts will hopefully add enough density to meet yours and the clinic's expectations. At 11 days and the 1 month mark your healing looks good. What is your donor looking like now?

Pics from my second surgery. I am now a week short of 3 months post surgery……

It looks like your hair has returned to the pre-op stage. Have you noticed any new growth pushing through from the transplanted grafts?
I take it the biopsy did not show any underlying conditions.

Just short of 5 month, pics is a variety of conditions

How are you feeling about the top-up @My2021story ?

At 5 months you have alot more growth hopefully so it looks promising I would say, I hope it will be a good result. I think by month 8 you can pretty much see if you will be happy or not. Hold out!

Still early days and I’m seeing new hairs come through so fine at this stage- it stayed as it is for the next 12 months then I’d be disappointed but feel it’s improving each month and am hoping the next 5 months or so will bring more hairs coming through and then further density from maturation

 

[Bigmac]

Your hairline looks to be filling in with more density behind too. It looks like you’re making decent progress for 5 months.
Could you answer about the biopsy?

Thanks, early days but fingers crossed.
Biopsy- I was due to go in for an in person check up and feedback but couldn’t make it for to work commitments but I spoke with them on the phone and they advised nothing serious was found, so fingers crossed that this time around I will get the result I’ve wanted

 

[Bigmac]

Nothing serious. Does that mean something minor was found?
Yes, we are all rooting for you to achieve the result you want.

6 month update pictures.
Wet and dry.
Any feedback would we welcome.
I feel the hairline is still fairly sparse and not as dense as I’d like- but I know it’s still early (ish) in the process and there is still 6 months for improvements so fully appreciate this is not the final result.

Its looking better, but yes still a little sparse, it will be some more growth and some more maturing of the hairs so it should thicken up alot.

Hopefully we will see you happy at 12 months!

Fingers crossed for more growth over the next 6 months!

Its coming on well @My2021story you are only just at the half way point

 

[mr_telogen]

really this forum is very unbiased, only forum who suspended his recommendation, other forums have no manners

 

[Bigmac]

The density has increased at this halfway point. I remember from your first HT you’re a slow steady grower so this should continue to improve as the months go by.
The hairline looks fuller. How does it look to you if you’re looking in the mirror without any bright lighting?

Update at just over 6.5 months
Dry hair in natural light with no product in my hair.
Still appears see through on sunlight but think it’s improving?
Any feedback welcome

The more important thing is how do you feel about it overall?

The truth is that usually most grafts should have sprouted by 6,5 months, but the hair will continue to mature and thicken up.
