FUT Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also known as strip harvesting, involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area. The follicular units are then carefully dissected under microscopes and transplanted to the recipient area. This method often yields a higher number of grafts in a single session and is cost-effective for covering large areas.
- Higher graft yield per session
- Cost-effective for large areas
- Well-established technique
- Excellent for advanced hair loss
- Predictable results
- Lower cost per graft
Will FUT leave a scar?
Yes, FUT leaves a linear scar in the donor area. However, skilled surgeons use advanced closure techniques to minimize scarring, and the scar is typically hidden by surrounding hair.
How long is recovery from FUT?
Most patients return to work within 10-14 days. The sutures are removed after 10-14 days, and full healing occurs within several weeks.
Who is a good candidate for FUT?
FUT is ideal for patients with significant hair loss who need maximum coverage, those who prefer longer hairstyles, and patients looking for cost-effective treatment.
