Carlos K. Wesley, M.D.: Vertex "Plug" Correction

[Billena]

This gentleman had undergone two procedures at a "no-longer-existing" hair institute approximately 20 years ago. The strikingly unnatural appearance of the resulting plugs around his crown forced him to wear a hat at all times.

 

Using a combination of excision and punch site closure, the crown plugs were removed. In addition, he had a 1938 FU pattern designed throughout his mid scalp (to be shown in about 6-9 more months!) to provide hair that will more naturally cover his treated vertex.

 

The patient returned 3 months later and - for the first time in YEARS - didn't have to wear a hat. Still, a focused treatment with microderm stimulation was performed by Dr. Wesley (after the "post" pictures were taken) to further smooth out the appearance of his vertex.

 

Combined, Dr. Wesley's treatments will help "reverse" this patient's less-than-ideal hair transplant from years before.

Patient returned five months after the repair session...

 

 

 

...his early growth, coupled with the softening of the plugs in the crown, has allowed him the freedom of not always having to wear a baseball hat in public. Now, he only wears it when the Yankees win!

Looks like Joe Torre's transplant end result! Good work.

Great job Dr. Wesley! This gentleman is well on the way to recovery and a normal life.
