Office of Dr. Wesley Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 #BeforeAndAfterMondays This 49-year-old man underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2499 grafts were placed. Aspects of our surgical approach can be viewed on our site’s Most Common Questions page. Three unique elements combined to help improve his experience: no-shave requirement for optimal discretion, enhanced graft storage measures, and rigid patient safety standards. 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’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. Finally, having his procedure performed in our office with the highest standards of COVID precautions helped ensure patient safety. Every patient of Dr. Wesley’s receives a rapid COVID test upon arrival to our office equipped with an ultraviolet air purification system. Measures such as reducing foot traffic by performing virtual consultations at no charge to patients, regular staff COVID testing and no-touch temperature checks of our team that avoids public transportation help preserve our clean and sanitary safe haven. Daily sterilization of the office coupled with the most rigid OR safety precautions further allay patient concerns in this sensitive time. The patient returned six months after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. This link illustrates the timing of hair growth after surgery.

Senior Member SLA Posted May 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 What?$%@ How is this possible? The OP looks close to an NW6 with reasonably fine hair and he comes out with a full crop of hair after only 2,499 grafts! Excellent work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted May 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 Amazing results. Great use of grafts and the hairline looks completely natural. Thank you for sharing @Office of Dr. Wesley My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Senior Member SLA Posted May 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 How did you cover so much ground and create such an illusion of density with this few number of grafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
