We show that a mean curvature flow starting from a compact, smoothly embedded hypersurface M remains unique past singularities, provided the singularities are of mean convex type, i.e., if around each singular point, the surface moves in…

This is the second paper in the series to study the generic dynamics of mean curvature flows. We study the initial perturbation of mean curvature flows, whose first singularity is modeled by an asymptotically conical shrinker. The…
