This 43-year-old male underwent a 2710 FU session of follicular unit extraction (FUE) in order to cover the frontal half of his scalp (including hairline). This video illustrates the early postoperative recovery following a large FUE procedure. It may help patients considering this approach by demonstrating the length hair in the healing donor area. Any residual scabbing in the recipient area can be cleansed with simple soaks and gentle shampooing.

Here are images and a

This patient returned to our office to say "hello" and we were able to gather a few more detailed photos of his transplanted hairline. Dr. Wesley transplanted this hairline at a density of 30FU/cm2.

In addition to these photos, an updated video of his progress can be viewed at:

The patient then followed with a 2450 FU-session to treat the thinning mid scalp.

This 26-yr-old man was referred by his hairdresser after attempting Propecia for over 3 years with minimal effect. A session of 2632 FU throughout the frontal half of his scalp can be viewed before and approximately one year after treatment.

This patient returned to our clinic approximately one year after his 2132 FU session that covered his crown. The pattern image shows two concentric circles. The pattern design extended to the outer border. He was pleased!

This 46-yr-old man's 2229 micro graft session addressed his thinning frontal third. While not lowering the hairline, the increased density throughout the frontal region provides the illusion of bringing a hairline forward. A

A 47-year-old man was treated with 2375 FU to his mid scalp. He had tried medical therapy a few years prior to coming to our office, but hadn't noticed any benefit. The breakdown of his session was:

1s 451

2s 1257

fine 2s 72

3s 475

fine 3s 48

FFs 72

He then returned only eight (8) months later to show off his improvement in density.

This 54-year-old female underwent a relatively small session due to her limited donor area. Over the past five years, she had continuous hair thinning that began shortly after menopause. Her 874 FU session consisted of:

1s 89

2s 508

fine 2s 11

3s 159

fine 3s 91

FFs 16

She returned to our office 12 months later for the follow-up image.

Dr. Wesley will be one of the featured presenters at the upcoming "Advances in Facial Reconstruction & Cosmetic Surgery: A Hands on Cadaver Workshop" from April 14-15th. While curious patients are welcome to attend the lectures, the purpose of this symposium is to bring together leading surgeons from all the core specialties who perform reconstructive and cosmetic surgery (plastic surgery; dermatologic surgery; facial plastic surgery; ocular plastic surgery and oral maxillary facial surgery) in order to educate and advance this growing field of cosmetic surgery. In fact, over 30,000 individuals have been notified of this event!

Dr. Wesley and the other speakers are encouraged to have laboratory manual format lectures so that the audience can use the information disseminated in those lectures in the afternoon cadaver laboratory sessions.

This patient recently returned to our clinic about 15 months after this initial session to advance his hairline and temples. Here are a few follow-up images and a

This 55-year-old man had an HT 8 years prior with a different surgeon. He presented for a session to the frontal third. These images were taken at the 8 month mark. Our offices generally anticipate full growth at 12 months. However, even 18 months after a session newly transplated hair has been shown to still be growing in anew.

A 37-year-old man underwent FUE using a small 0.75mm punch. A total of 1542 FU were used to fill his frontal third (including hairline and temple reconstruction). The patient submitted his own before and after images taken in the comfort of his own home only 6 months after the session. We sure hope to have video footage from our office capturing his current hairline shortly!

This video demonstrates an improvement in mid scalp coverage 2.5 months after a session of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was administered.

This 32-year-old male had 2565 FU added to the frontal third of his scalp.

He returned 16 months post-operatively for follow up images seen in this video.

This 43-year-old man had a 2452 FU session throughout his frontal third. These follow-up pictures were taken at 11 months post-op. He was thrilled with his new look and sent his brothers for more of the same!
