“Filling it In” 54-Year-Old Man (2401 grafts): Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. (NYC & LA)
This 54-year-old man underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2401 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 11 months after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below together with the images taken one week postoperatively.
