#BAM One of Our Most Gratifying Cases 2033 FUT grafts Carlos K. Wesley, MD (NYC)
#BeforeAndAfterMondays
Since the age of 19, this woman had suffered from an aggressive form of folliculitis decalvans that was misdiagnosed. Feeling self conscious each time she swam or the wind blew, the cosmetic impact of this scalp condition had a significant impact on her life. Finally, 15 years later, she had a scalp biopsy confirming this form of scarring alopecia. Although it had stabilized, hair would not grow back on its own...
She underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2033 grafts were placed.
Her hair follicles were incubated in autologous (her 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.
As with all of Dr. Wesley’s patients, she was NOT required to shave her 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 one year after her procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.
