In the TikTok video, Mortensen pretended to cry as text over it said, "When you're going bald so you're getting a hair transplant." He added in the caption, "Full head of hair coming in hot."

Fans cheered him on in the comments, with supportive notes like, "Yes! Do whatever makes you happy!!" and "Your year to glow up 🥰."

Mortensen then shared a couple of other clips focused on the transplant, including a detailed breakdown of the procedure as it took place, calling it a "crazy process."

In the video, Mortensen showed how the doctor mapped out his new hairline, shaved the back of his head, removed single hair follicles from there and moved them to the front to fill it in.

Sitting in the car afterward, he shared the "final product," joking, "It looks like a bunch of maggots, but I can assure you, I will be looking like Fabio when it's all said and done."

"That’s awesome you shared this. Helps others," wrote a fan in the comments, as more said, "You handled that like a champ!" and "How exciting 😀."

Others commented on how painful the procedure looked, such as one who said, "omg ouchieeeee😭," while another declared, "I was in pain watching!"

Mortensen shared an update a couple of days later, noting that his face was swollen and his head itched a lot, but he wasn't allowed to touch where the hair was transplanted.

Thankfully, he still had his sense of humor, jokingly comparing himself to Sloth from The Goonies.
