What is an FUT Hair Transplant?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," is a hair transplant technique that involves removing a thin strip of skin with healthy hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back of the scalp). This strip is then carefully dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope, which are then implanted into the areas experiencing hair loss.

Benefits of FUT Hair Transplants

  • Maximum Coverage: FUT is often the best option for individuals with more extensive hair loss, as it allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session.
  • High Graft Survival Rate: The careful dissection process under a microscope helps ensure a high survival rate for the transplanted follicles.
  • Cost-Effective: FUT can be a more cost-effective option for achieving significant density.
  • Natural-Looking Results: When performed by skilled surgeons, FUT can create a very natural-looking hairline and overall density.
  • Permanent Solution: Transplanted hair is permanent and will continue to grow naturally.

The FUT Procedure: Step-by-Step

1

Consultation: You'll discuss your hair loss, goals, and medical history with a specialist to determine if FUT is the right choice for you.

2

Planning: The surgeon will design your new hairline and determine the size of the strip to be removed.

3

Local Anaesthesia: The donor and recipient areas are numbed for your comfort.

4

Strip Removal: A thin strip of skin is carefully removed from the donor area.

5

Closure: The donor area is closed with sutures (stitches), typically using a technique called trichophytic closure, which allows hair to grow through the scar, making it less visible.

6

Graft Dissection: The strip is meticulously dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope.

7

Implantation: The follicular units are implanted into the recipient area, creating a natural-looking pattern and density.

8

Aftercare: You'll receive detailed instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

What to Expect After Your FUT Transplant

After your FUT procedure, you'll have a linear scar at the donor site, which is typically concealed by your existing hair. You may experience some mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. The transplanted hair will initially shed, which is a normal part of the process. New hair growth typically begins within 3-4 months, with significant improvements visible within 6-12 months, and full results around a year.
