Senior Member MarieEvo Posted May 5, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2020 #BeforeAndAfterMondays This patient underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2142 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 4 years later after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. This link illustrates the timing of hair growth after surgery. Similar patient hair transformations with Dr. Wesley and his team may also be viewed. I have worked with 26 different hair restoration doctors throughout my career. I have now been a nurse with Dr. Wesley for more than a decade.

Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted May 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2020 I don't understand why Dr Wesley doesn't ever post photos of graft placement? This before and after just looks like he grew out his hair. Can we see photos of graft placement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member makem307 Posted May 26, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted May 26, 2020 Also no top down shot so it does not really show anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Billena Posted June 16, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2020 We hope that this series of images help clarify the surgical pattern that this patient experienced. --------- Carlos K.

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 16, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2020 Nice improvement for a moderate amount of grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
