Here is a 42-year-old man who wanted the fullness of his hairline back. The results of a 2326-graft follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Wesley can be seen at 11 months after his surgery. The patient is ecstatic.

Thanks for your comments.

 

He also suffered from virtually no shock loss during his postoperative process. While this is something we warn our patients of who have considerable pre-existing hair in the recipient area (my practice encourages patients to keep their hair at its normal length for FUT sessions so that they may return to work or social activities sooner), it tends to be much more common in female patients than in male patients.

Thanks for your comments. I have attached a few of his pattern pictures. As you can see, patients in our practice do not need to shave their heads for an FUT procedure. In fact, the pre-existing hair is quite beneficial in that it camouflages any redness during the short-term recovery process. Therefore, patients are able to return to work or social activities earlier.

 

In addition to the pattern pictures, I included a close-up image of the donor at the time of suture removal. This patient did a great job of keeping his donor area clean which facilitates the suture removal process and allows you to see the alignment of the donor wound edges.
