#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. :

In order to repair a poorly-executed transplant performed by another surgeon, this 41-year-old man underwent a combination of two approaches with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley: 1) a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session in which a total of 2483 grafts (from both scalp and beard) were placed followed by a skin micro pigmentation (SMP) procedure to the donor area. 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 16 Months after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.

Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. (NYC) - Short hair. More hair. (2331 grafts)
Billena posted a topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
A 32-year-old liked his short hairstyle. However, the progressive thinning atop his scalp became hard to ignore despite his near-shaven look. He was skeptical of finasteride and preferred to address his hair loss with a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure with Dr. Carlos Wesley (NYC). Using a 0.8mm motorized punch, 2331 grafts were harvested and stored in the patient's platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ACell prior to subsequent implantation. Results can be seen before and postoperative day #1. -
A jolly 51-year-old man had prior transplants from another clinic that left him with a pluggy hairline and a very tight scalp. One fantastic donor hair resource that had not previously been used was his long, white beard - akin to that of Old Saint Nick. He, therefore, opted for a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session in which a total of 981 grafts were harvested from his beard and within his scalp donor region. He also requested that Dr. Carlos K. Wesley NOT shave his entire donor region for the FUE graft harvest. Therefore, a long-haired FUE session was also performed. The patient returned one year after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. The patient’s hair follicles were incubated in platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure.

Billena posted a topic in Results Posted by Leading Hair Restoration Clinics
As we look towards 2017, our office would like to reflect on this past year. Here is a brief montage of a few of our cases over the past 12 months. Included are: Follicular unit extraction (FUE), Follicular unit transplantation (FUT), Platelet rich plasma (PRP), Scar revision, Scalp deformity repair, SMP and more. We must also pay tribute to a few of the great musicians who left us in 2016. -
A 23-year-old man had considerable reservations regarding finasteride. After a lengthy discussion about the long-term planning process of hair restoration in young patients, he underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session in which a total of 2401 grafts with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley. He wanted to bring his hairline down slightly in order to more effectively frame his face for the long term. The patient returned one year after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. The patient’s hair follicles were incubated in platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure. -
