Follow-Up Headhunter Meetings

Has anyone ever followed up with a headhunter for a second meeting? Met several of them back in the fall, but I don't think I made a stellar impression on some of them (been very quiet about opportunities so far). Is it a good idea to follow up with headhunters for a second meeting to update them on preference changes?
