In an effort to keep both patients and our surgical staff healthy and safe during the novel coronavirus outbreak, our office has suspended operations temporarily beginning on Monday, March 23rd. During this time of closure and upon welcoming patient visits once again, we will continue our enhanced maintenance of an optimally-sanitized environment. To this end, we have installed a TZAP Air Purification System in addition to performing a daily sterilization of all surfaces within our office. This ultraviolet air-cleansing system has been proven to reduce the risk virus transmission within a conditioned space and can actually decrease the germs in a sneeze by 99% before they travel 3 feet. To further improve the office habitat, Dr. Wesley has also limited patient traffic by suspending any fee for virtual consultations that he himself continues to perform. Moreover, Dr. Wesley and each member of his staff travel to and from the office and their homes only in their own private vehicles (rather than public transportation). In compliance with the New York Dept of Health, our in-office activity will remain suspended until the mandate has been lifted for our specialty. With our objective to remain the cleanest and most sanitary office in NYC, we will continue to take measures to keep both our patients and our staff healthy and safe. -
#BeforeAndAfterMondays This patient underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 3257 (2029 to the front/1228 crown) grafts were placed. His hair follicles were incubated in autologous (his own) 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. 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. Upon completion of the harvest, the patient’s donor area was treated with PRP and ACell in order to not only minimize scar tissue formation, but also encourage partial regeneration of donor hair follicles. The patient returned 4 years later after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. This link illustrates the timing of hair growth after surgery.

In order to repair a poorly-executed transplant performed by another surgeon, this patient underwent a combination of two approaches with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley: a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session in which a total of 2337 grafts (from both scalp and beard) were placed. Only 250 grafts sprinkles on crown and about 100 added to cover the donor scar. His hair follicles were incubated in autologous (his own) 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. 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.

#BeforeAndAfterMonday This female patient underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 1755 grafts were placed Her hair follicles were incubated in autologous (her own) 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, she was NOT required to shave her 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. The patient returned one year after her procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.

What's worse is that Dr. Wesley still has yet to post or answer any questions. No idea why he just feels like he can post on the forum and ignore all comments in this thread. pathetic. -

In my opinion, you would benefit the most from a strip surgery, which means you should stay in North America. The only clinic outside of North America that handle large strip cases is Dr. Muresanu from Hattingen Hair Clinic in Switzerland. My advice is stick with FUT, you will get more bang for your buck, and more hair, once you have stripped out, then you should consider FUE. I would take a look at Hasson and Wong, Dr. Bloxham, Dr. Wesley, True and Dorin, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Rahal, just to name a few.- 20 replies

It seems that Dr. Carlos Wesley is well respected as a HT doctor and has posted some very impressive results on these threads, but there are very few posts from former patients. Does anybody know why this is? Are there any patients out there? And do you think Dr. Wesley is a top 10 HT doctor like some people say? -
Again another thread of Dr. Wesley's that shows no photos of graft placement. Although this looks like a big improvement, 2.3k drafts for this HT seems like an overkill of grafts where Dr. Wesley might have a high transection rate of grafts or a low survival rate. We would much appreciate it if you posted photos of graft placement.

#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, he was able to reverse the biologic course of the thousands of miniaturized follicles atop his head and generate more hair fullness. 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 in this video for all interested patients who would like to learn more about this novel therapy. The patient returned 8 months after his PRP treatment series (involving 2 procedures) and images of the patient can be seen below.

Looking for a FUE doctor
Melvin-Moderator replied to bigtyivier2k2's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
In my honest opinion, you are probably better off going strip first, which would eliminate Turkey. I would consider Dr. Rahal, Hasson and Wong, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Glenn Charles, Dr. Bloxham, True and Dorin and Dr. Carlos Wesley. You're better off maximizing grafts with FUT and then finishing off with FUE. -
Well, coincidentally, I was expecting to share a review in the coming days, but I'll give a brief overview here. I had a FUE procedure with Dr. Wesley 10 days ago. As you can see from my history, I previously had five FUT sessions with another surgeon. Dr. Wesley was able to capture 1725 grafts via long-hair FUE. That brings my total graft count to approximately 10,000! I'm very hopeful that this procedure will address the remaining weaknesses I still had (thinning in mid-scalp, crown, and some pitting in the hairline). I have every expectation that it will be a great result, but it's also good to know that Dr. Wesley estimated I could easily get another ~1500-2000 FUE grafts if needed. Thank goodness for my donor supply. I can share more details and photos, but I'll say that the experience with Dr. Wesley was excellent. High marks all the way around for him, his team, the approach, and aftercare instructions/strategy. As I mentioned, I'm on day 10 and the whole experience has been a breeze. I had no swelling or pain, extremely minimal redness, and all crusts were gone as of day 8. Numbness was legitimately gone by day 2, which was a very nice surprise. Only minor annoyances were some slight itching (didn't require topical intervention), a few hours of hiccups the day after surgery (resolved with 1 tablet of Baclofen), and a case of messy hair. The last reference is obviously tongue in cheek, but it's amazing how much I rely on hair pomade to control my hair. I returned to work on Monday (day 6) and my co-workers knew I was getting a procedure, but they still laughed at my non-styled hair look. I will begin normal styling routine tomorrow, so back to normal and no further worries there. Before the procedure, I had some concern about how well the donor area would be covered with my existing hair because I wasn't sure it was quite long enough, but it really is barely noticeable, even with several small bands shaved down. By tomorrow, with some light combing and pomade, I doubt you'd be able to tell I had anything shaved. Regardless, it's growing back quickly and I'll probably get a haircut in about another two weeks to blend everything. Anyway, I'm quite pleased with Dr. Wesley and my experience. I'd absolutely recommend speaking to him if you're considering either FUE or FUT, as I was very impressed by examples of all of his work. I think he's highly underrated and should receive more attention than he does. Feel free to ask any questions, but will probably end up starting a new thread if helpful. -
Great job Dr. Wesley, you are truly an artist!

Hi everyone. Im 42 years old and have been thinning in my crown area for over 15 years. It has stabilized for the most part. I am doing some research but it seems there are not as many crown before/after photos from the physicians results pages... Based on what I have seen I have narrowed it down to Dr. Wesley, Dr. Wong, and Dr. Arocha. Who would you recommend for the crown area? Thank you in advance for you help
