Patriots' Wes Welker gets Hair Transplantation Surgery

With modern hair transplantation techniques becoming more and more advanced — and undetectable — signing up for a procedure is no longer something most people try to hide.

Take Patriots Wide Receiver Wes Welker.

“When I was considering hair transplantation I knew that I wanted to work with the best in the field and that is why I chose Dr. Robert Leonard,” Welker said.  “Dr. Leonard has a tremendous reputation and his knowledge and expertise helped put my mind at ease throughout the process.”

According to a release, Welker got the procedure done in July.

The procedure involved transplanting follicles to an area of Welker’s scalp where his hair had started to thin.  The procedure was completed in during a single session that lasted approximately five hours.  Following the procedure, there was no visible evidence of the procedure, including bandages.  Welker was immediately able to resume his regular activities, including training for the football season and even wearing a helmet

Welker was immediately able to resume his regular activities, including training for the football season and even wearing a helmet, Leonard said.

Welker has agreed to appear in TV, radio and print ads with Leonard to share his experience.
