#BeforeAndAfterMondays Curly Hair and FUE Unite! FUE 2334 grafts: Carlos K. Wesley, MD (NYC)" This 27-year-old man underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2334 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 one year after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. :

FUT vs FUE vs FUSS - FUE is FUT
Bill - Managing Publisher posted a topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
OK so allow me to explain because this title is probably confusing. FUT versus FUE is one of the most discussed topics however, what people don’t realize, is that FUE IS FUT. FUT stands for follicular unit hair transplantation and was named that way because instead of using the old mini-graft technique which contains approximately 4 to 8 hairs - surgeons began using hair groupings as they appear naturally in the scalp, called follicular units. The follicular unit can be anywhere from 1 to 4 hairs. A follicular unit transplant procedure involves both harvesting hair from the donor area and implanting them into tiny recipient incisions in the scalp. However, when we talk about FUSS and FUE, we are strictly talking about the donor harvesting technique portion of the FUT procedure. FUE stands for follicular unit excision, recently renamed by the ISHRS from follicular unit extraction. This donor harvesting technique involves using one of many various excision devices to harvest follicular units one by one from the side and back of the scalp or other areas of the body. FUSS stands for follicular unit strip surgery and involves harvesting a strip of tissue containing hair follicles, suturing or stapling the wound, typically using the tricophytic closure technique, slivering the tissue and dissecting follicular units from the strip using microscopes. So what about the implantation part of the procedure? Why is there so much focus on the donor harvesting technique? Well there are some names for the implantation part of the procedure, such as stick and place but the focus is on the donor harvesting because that’s what ultimately determines the viability of the graft. If a graft is damaged, it’s typically during the donor harvesting portion of the procedure. However, grafts can be damaged during the implantation part of the procedure if the technicians or surgeon is not careful and crushes it during implantation. That’s why implanter pans were developed for example. They assist with implantation while minimizing damage to the follicles. For more detailed information about all of the above, I suggest reading the content below that we’ve written on our website. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Hair-Loss-Treatments/follicular-unit-extraction.asp https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Hair-Loss-Treatments/FUE-vs-FUT.asp https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Hair-Loss-Treatments/FUE-hair-transplant-implantation-devices.asp Now, there are many more links that I can post, but if you follow the above links and then follow the links in each content page above, you will see more about specific extraction devices, sharp versus blunt punches, the history of FUE, etc. I’d love to hear everyone’s input on this.

#BAM Improving Density Carlos K. Wesley, M.D.(4583 FUE)
Billena posted a topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
#Before&AfterMondays This 45-year-old man underwent 2 separate follicular unit extraction (FUE) sessions with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 4583 grafts were placed. The first session focused on the front of his scalp and the second on his mid scalp. 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.

This 27-year-old male presented to our office after having undergone aggressive SMP at a center that convinced him that it would give a "youthful hairline" appearance. He grew frustrated by the unnatural appearance of the linear ink outline on his forehead and sought an alternative. He simply wanted to have a natural appearance and a healthy framing of his face. Dr. Wesley suggested that the patient undergo laser removal of the SMP. However, the patient still wanted to address his progressive receding hairline.. He underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2722 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 both one day and ten days after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.

This 45-year-old man underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2071 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. This patient had a prior FUE with the ARTAS Robot. This left his donor with a well-defined block that had been aggressively harvested and one aspect of his FUE revision with our group was to soften the appearance of his donor area. 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 12 days after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.
