#BeforeAndAfterMondays 

 

This patient underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2281 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, the patient  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 12 mos after the procedure and images of this patient can be seen below.

Nice use of a small amount of grafts. Would have liked to read more details. How many grafts was pts first surgery. Was he on meds.  Why only 2200? Etc
