Wesley in which a total of 2602 grafts were placed The patient’s hair follicles were incubated in platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure. This, combined with an ATP-containing storage solution has been shown to enhance survival of transplanted hairs. As with all of Dr. Wesley’s patients, he was NOT required to cut his hair for the procedure. As a result, this patient was able to return comfortably to work and social activities within approximately 7-10 days of his procedure.

Rather than a larger FUE punch used by a robotic approach, Dr. Wesley used a smaller caliber hand-held motorized punch to performed the donor harvest. This approach better enabled the capture of donor hair roots that are slightly curved beneath the skin surface.

Hi, jj51702. The trials are not currently open. Development regarding the mechanics of this novel harvesting process remains ongoing. While he continues to research improved strategies for treating hair loss, it is not a coincidence that Dr. Wesley's attention to this particular device during non-office hours have shifted towards family care since the birth of his son. If you have further questions, please call our office. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

colombia FUE Surgeons in COLOMBIA
bramoncada posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Hi Guys! So I am a patient of Dr. Koniors and I recently moved to Medellin (I'm a dual citizen). Needless to say QUALITY is something that I don't skimp on (hence my choice in Dr. Konior). The only surgeon "close" by that has a vast amount of credibility is Dr. Nader in Mexico, however that isn't quite even in the area (or continent). There are no really solid threads on trusted FUE surgeons in Colombia so I wanted to start a conversation about who has had first hand experience with RESEARCH and RECEIVING AN ACTUAL TRANSPLANT in Colombia. After doing some research these are the names I've come up with: Bogota: Rene Rodriguez Medical - https://2rmd.com This guy has a ton of content with artists to the average joe, youtube videos, and a flawless rating in just about every social media platform. Medellin: Dr. Hector Garcia - http://implantecapilar.com.co/secciones-85-s/dr-hctor-garca.htm This surgeon appears to be very professional without a whole lot of gaudy success stories or youtube videos (there are some that offer success stories). I wish there was more evidence of success stories, as this type of surgeon who specializes in FUE and isn't real big on advertising always appeals to me. Cali: Dr. Reina - https://www.transplantesdecabellocolombia.com/calvicie-implante-capilar/ I've come across this woman in my research and she has a lot of good content with her at conferences in the United States, with some images of results on her page. I noticed she does FUT (strip) so not sure if thats a red flag or not, but she appears to be a true hair restoration specialist. Dr. Carlos Triana - https://www.crecehaircenter.com/trasplante-capilar.html This guy belongs to the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (is that credential enough?) that I can't say for sure. He has his own brand of hair care products "Crece" and appears to be dedicated to the craft. PLEASE KEEP THE CONVERSATION ON TOPIC AND LETS SEE IF WE CAN CONFIRM OUR GO TO HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGEON IN COLOMBIA. -
#BAM Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration in a Woman: Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. #BeforeAndAfterMondays This patient underwent an autologous (his own) platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley. With this non-surgical approach to treating hair loss, she was able to reverse the biologic course of the thousands of miniaturized follicles atop her head and generate more hair fullness. She also noted an increased ease of hair styling. Dr. Wesley previously delivered an in-depth lecture on PRP scalp treatment for genetic hair loss detailing all aspects of this procedure. The benefits and limitations of PRP procedures are described for all interested patients who would like to learn more about this novel therapy. The patient returned 3 mos after her PRP treatment and images of the patient can be seen below. Similar patient hair transformations with Dr. Wesley and his team may also be viewed.

Hello everyone, Today is the 2 month anniversary of my 1700 FUE with Dr. Konior on October 19th. I've been a long time lurker of these forums and not much of a participant, but I've been researching hair transplants for years ever since I started to lose my hair back when I was about 20 years old. This year, I finally decided to pull the trigger. Background I first started losing my hair at age 20. This was very stressful and a huge hit to my self confidence, and I started doing everything I could to combat the loss. Unfortunately I had read far too much about negative side effects from Propecia and did not start it right away (huge mistake that I still regret). Instead, I used methods with very low effectiveness such as the laser comb and Nioxin. 4 years later, with my hair loss getting worse, I finally decided to see a dermatologist to talk about Propecia and he greatly eased my concerns about the drug. Told me that the vast majority of his patients have zero side effects, and that I should start immediately. I ordered generic finasteride online and started it right away along with Rogaine foam and 2x / week Nizoral. Within just a month, I noticed tons of new hairs coming back. A year later, I recovered more than 50% of what I lost, and at the time I was ecstatic. Since then, my hair loss has remained mostly stable, and I honestly can't tell if I've lost any more hair over the past 10 years. But I was still very much bothered by having a see-through hairline, and because of a bald spot in the front center of my head that never recovered, I always had to comb my hair to the center as a mini combover to cover the loss (pic below). Choosing Dr. Konior Like I said, I've been on this forum for years, and I have not seen a single bad result from Dr. Konior, or any unhappy patients. Also, I had emailed Dr. Konior 4 years ago for a virtual consultation, and he was by far the most communicative and thorough in his responses to me. I had also considered Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Dorin, and Dr. Wesley. This year, I decided it was time book a procedure. I had the money saved up and I was completely ready to go. Dr. Konior had been concerned about the quality of my donor area in the initial consultation via email. I had taken photos in very bright light and in the photos my donor area looked sparse. To make sure this wasn't an issue, I took a day trip to Chicago just to meet with Dr. Konior and have a proper in-person consultation earlier this summer. I was told that I was a good candidate and that I would need somewhere between 1000-2000 grafts to recreate the hairline and densify the frontal region. During this consultation, my decision to go with Dr. Konior was solidified. He was direct, upfront, extremely knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. If I had to choose one word to describe him, I would say "perfectionist". I was originally booked for May 2019, but luckily a cancelation came up and I was able to get a spot for much earlier. The Day Of The Operation Long story short, having an operation with Dr. Konior and his staff was honestly the best medical experience I've ever had. Everyone was so professional, meticulous, and kind throughout the whole day - and for the 2 days of follow-up - that I was completely blown away. I won't get into all of the details (unless anybody has specific questions) but one thing that immediately impressed me was that Dr. Konior must have spent an hour just drawing and redesigning my hairline until he thought it was absolutely perfect. Like I said, perfectionist. I sat there still and quiet just letting the master do his work. When I finally got a mirror and was able to see the line he drew, I was thrilled. It was EXACTLY what I wanted, a slightly lower hairline, drawn naturally, with a bit filled in at the temples. It was a very, very long day. I arrived at the office at 6am and I didn't get back to the Comfort Suites hotel until around 10:30pm. It was virtually pain free and even the numbing injections didn't really bother me. The hardest part was having to sit still for long periods of time, as it was tough to find a comfortable position. After some trial and error, I figured out what worked for me and the rest was pretty easy. The First 2 Months Aside from the embarrassment of walking through the airport looking like a mutant, and constantly worrying about hitting my head on something, the first couple weeks of post-op care was pretty easy overall. Dr. Konior's instructions were very well laid out and I didn't really have any issues aside from some general anxiety about losing / damaging grafts. The one thing that is more difficult than I anticipated, even after being a member of this forum for years, is the ugly duckling phase. Most of the grafts shed by Week 3 and I also had some shock loss in the recipient area, leaving me with a very awkward, uneven look which you can see in my photos. I've been in hiding from most of my friends for the last couple months and only now starting to feel more confident going out to social events, even though my hair looks worse than ever. Other than that, I'm patiently waiting for the growth to start. I think I've already seen some sprouts here and there, but nothing substantial at all, and of course it's far too early for that anyway. I'm just happy that at this point, since my native hair is getting longer each week, I'm looking less like a freak and more like a guy with bad frontal loss. Photos This is what I know most people want to see, and I've been taking photos regularly since the operation to keep track of my progress. The photos are presented in the following order: - Pre-op dry - Pre-op wet - Pre-op in sunlight - Pre-op at an angle - Pre-op combover - Night of operation - Day 1 - Day 1 donor area - Week 1 - Week 2 - Week 3 (notice the shedding!) - Week 4 - Week 4 donor (very happy with how undetectable this looks at this length) - Month 2 In my last pic, the one from today, the whole top of my head was trimmed by my barber to try to even it out and match it with the thinness in the front of my head. Normally that area looks a lot thicker. Well, that's all for now! Special thanks to everyone on this forum, but particularly guys like Spanker, 1978matt, and Reyes1 who posted extensively about their experiences with Dr. Konior. I'm sure I am missing other Dr. Konior patients who have posted on here, and thanks to you as well, but I can't remember all the usernames. Will try to keep this thread regularly updated, and also happy to answer any questions if you have them.

2022 Grafts with DR. DIEP (FUT) Revision Surgery
hairvanity posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Hey guys just wanted to share my story with you and hopefully get some good results that I can document along the way. Several years ago I had a transplant by a doctor in Reno Nevada named Dr. Wesley Hall Sr. I was looking to lower my naturally hi hairline and frame my face better but instead I ended up with some terrible pitting, little to no growth, and a bad hair line design that resembled one of a female. The doctor suggested I only needed 600 grafts believe it or not. And when the first procedure failed he did it a second time at no charge with the exact same results, again implanting 600 additional grafts. As you can imagine after two failed transplants I felt like I had no hope, and thought that perhaps I was just one of those few cases where hair transplants don't work. I was lucky enough to get my money refunded before Dr. Hall closed shop and disappeared. He was the only hair transplant surgeon in Reno Nevada. I remember the two technicians that assisted him with the hair transplant seemed very new, with little to no experience. I made the mistake to not do my research, did not even ask to see before and after pictures, and just assumed that a doctor Who owned a hair transplant clinic would know what he was doing. Lesson learned. If you get anything from my story I hope it's that you do your research, that you follow instructions, and that if there's any red flags whatsoever you run the other direction. After years of depression, wearing hats and keeping my hair long to disguise the botched transplant, and dwindling self-esteem and confidence, I decided to do something about it and made a decision to go see Dr. Diep in San Jose. As you can imagine I'm still a little skeptical of this one turning out like the rest but I plan to follow the instructions by the book and hopefully with a more positive attitude and suggestions from folks like yourselves I can get better results and put this tragic experience behind me. I'm really hoping for the third time's the charm. My surgery was on Thursday, August 10th 2017. Dr. Diep and his crew implanted 2022 total follicles in a little over 6 1/2 hours using the FUT method. I went with the strip method because the previous doctor had left a very large and unattractive donor area scar that I also needed revised. Dr. Diep removed some of the old transplants that gave me the circle/feminine hairline and drew out a brand new design that I really like. Dr. Diep surgery was significantly less painful than my two prior ones with Dr. Hall, I was completely knocked out for 75% of the surgery itself. Attached are pictures from my old transplant results and postop pictures after my surgery with Dr. Diep today in San Jose. If you have any questions, comments, or most importantly advice for me I would greatly appreciate it. At this point I want to make sure that I do everything in my power and control for this surgery to produce optimal results. -
