On May 9th 2020 I had a hair transplant procedure with Dr. Keene. We did 2400 total FUE grafts - 1200 in the frontal regions and the other 1200 in the crown. Dr. Keene is an excellent surgeon who really cares about you, your situation, the results, the industry, etc etc. If you're thinking about getting a hair transplant, you should put her on your interview list. And the staff -- they are awesome! I think everyone is wonderful in the group, but Nicole definitely stands out as someone who really makes you feel comfortable and makes the whole process a bit more enjoyable and fun :). Ok, so let's not leave out more great people like Lisa, Savannah, Ube, and Bernice (not sure i got everyone, sorry!) who are also exceptional. For anyone struggling with hair loss, I hope this helps! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Let's start with pre op pictures.... Now for some photos 2 days after surgery.... BELOW are the 1 year post op pictures from Dr. Keene's office BELOW are a few 1 year post op pics I took myself to show the length as the above pictures were fresh from a haircut that may have been cut too short... Here's a direct sunlight shot.- 15 replies

#BeforeAndAfterMondays Sometimes, people just want to have long hair again. Since the anagen (growth) phase of the transplanted follicles lasts nearly 7 years, patients are able to wear that hair at various lengths after their procedure. This patient man underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2222 grafts were placed. He loved being able to wear it long once again! Three unique elements combined to help improve his experience: no-shave requirement for optimal discretion, enhanced graft storage measures, and rigid patient safety standards. 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. 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. Finally, having his procedure performed in our office with the highest standards of COVID precautionshelped ensure patient safety. Every patient of Dr. Wesley’s receives a rapid COVID test upon arrival to our office equipped with an ultraviolet air purification system. Measures such as reducing foot traffic by performing virtual consultations at no charge to patients, regular staff COVID testing and no-touch temperature checks of our team that avoids public transportation help preserve our clean and sanitary safe haven. Daily sterilization of the office coupled with the most rigid OR safety precautions further allay patient concerns in this sensitive time. 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. Similar patient hair transformations with Dr. Wesley and his team may also be viewed. -

This 28-year-old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 5 on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. His goal was to rebuild his hairline and add density to the frontal 1/2 of his scalp. Taking his age and hair loss into consideration we came upon an agreement for what would suite his expectations. After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. I wanted to reconstruct a hairline that would be suitable for him as he continued to age. A total of 3,602 grafts were used. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. These are his results 10 months and 1 year post-op. YouTube Video -

This 47-year-old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 5v on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. Taking his age and hair loss into consideration we came upon an agreement for what would suite his expectations. After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. The plan was to have 2 FUT procedures. His first procedure he had 3,597 grafts which were used to reconstruct his hairline and put grafts into the frontal 1/3 of his head. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline, which will withstand close up examination without anyone being able to determine a procedure was performed. Our goal is to make the results look natural. The 2nd procedure he had a total of 2,687 grafts which were placed in the mid and partially vertex/crown area. The result you see are 8 months post-op from the 2nd procedure. The patient is extremely happy with his results.

This 36 year old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 3 on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss. His goal was to rebuild a conservative hairline that would be age appropriate now and as he continue to age. In addition, he wanted more hair throughout the frontal 1/3 of his scalp to build up more density. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. A total of 2,210 FUE grafts were used. The break down was as follows: 1,259 single hair grafts, 951 two hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. These are his results 14 months post-op. The patient is extremely happy with his result. He does understand that he might need an addition procedure if he would like more density or does have any further hair loss down the road.

SUNSHINE TEST AGA is a gradual progressive condition. In the early stages, the thinning is not detectable to the eye. The lost is apparent under microscopic examination. Patients first notice that their hair is thinning when the hair is wet or under bright lights. These are useful examination techniques : 1.) wet hair exam; 2.) bright light or sunshine. The photos below showcase the patients hair before surgery and compared to his hair 1 year later outside in the sunshine. As you can see, his results are so natural that you can not see through the hair to the scalp. -
Reportedly, genes contribute less than 14% of explained variation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) [Richards, et. al]. Since dietary changes may be the simplest starting point to preventing hair loss, this investigative study might be of interest to many of you. Studying 354 men (ages 35-65), researchers found that frequent soy bean drink consumption proved slightly protective against moderate to severe male pattern baldness (MPB). Rich in isoflavones (leading to increased antioxidant levels) soy consumption demonstrated some protection against AGA. -

Please make sure that you do your research before choosing a hair transplant surgeon. It is far too often that we see people that come to have corrective surgery with Dr. Arocha after having transplants at other clinics. It is crucial that potential patients understand that once their donor area has been depleted, there is no way to regain or regrown hair in that area. Be an educated patient. Take the time to look and ask for photos of previous work from your potential surgeon. Your scalp and wallet will thank you for it! Have a good weekend and enjoy the video! -CeCe The patient in the photos below had a FUE 2043.
