#BAM REVISING a POOR-DENSITY Transplant: 2633 FUT grafts Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. (NYC

[Billena 11]

#BeforeAndAfterMondays 

This 33-year-old man underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2633 grafts were placed.

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.

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 returned 10 mos. after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.

Is dr wesley still performing pilofocus trials? Was this patient one of the trial members?

[Billena 11]

Actually this patient was not taking finasteride or any other medications so this is just from the procedure.  This was a traditional FUT procedure

Patient went a long way with minimal grafts.  Especially, considering this is a repair on previously impacted scalp tissue.  Looks like great yield based on coverage.  Ethical repair right here.  Good job Doc!
