“Filling it In” 41-Year-Old Man (2421 grafts): Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. (NYC & LA)

[Billena]

This 41-year-old man underwent a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2421 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 12 months after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.
