Revising a Patient's Transplant to Improve Density (1836 FUT grafts): Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. (NYC & LA)


Recommended Posts

#BeforeAndAfterMondays

 

In order to repair a poorly-executed transplant performed by another surgeon, this 37-year-old man underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 1836 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 six months 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.
