Overview
- Cena has completed two follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedures, a roughly 13.5-hour operation in November 2024 and an about eight-hour follow-up in June, which together total about 21.5 hours of surgery.
- Both procedures were performed by Dr. Ken Anderson at the Anderson Center for Hair in Atlanta and Cena says he shaved his head for the second operation to let the surgeon preserve more follicles and work faster.
- He is temporarily wearing a buzz cut while grafts settle and follows a strict early-recovery plan that includes red-light therapy, minoxidil, finasteride, vitamins, specialized shampoo and occasional PRP or exosome treatments.
- Cena says repeated fan jibes about his thinning hair helped push him to seek treatment and he frames his openness about the transplants as a way to fight shame around hair loss.
- The disclosures fit a growing trend of celebrities publicly discussing cosmetic hair repair and Cena says the fuller hair may broaden his styling and casting options as his new grafts take hold.
