#BAM Great Halloween Costumes Involve Great Hair! (2107+1086 FUE): Carlos K. Wesley, M.D.

This patient underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2107 + 1086 grafts were placed

The hair follicles were incubated in autologous (his 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[/URL].

Rather than a larger FUE punch used by a robotic approach, Dr. Wesley used a smaller caliber hand-held motorized punch to performed the donor harvest. This approach better enabled the capture of donor hair roots that are slightly curved beneath the skin surface. Upon completion of the harvest, the patient’s donor area was treated with PRP and ACell in order to not only minimize scar tissue formation but also encourage partial regeneration of donor hair follicles.

The patient returned one year after and again 4 years after the procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. This link illustrates the timing of hair growth after surgery.

4 awesome repairs with SMG
Love this..the hairline shape is so good. Out of curiosity how long did Dr Wesley advise waiting post op before he could highlight his hair blond?

Hi, Bullitnut.

Dr Wesley tells his patients they can color their hair no less than 1 month after the surgery.
