The Advanced Guide To FUT Hair Transplant

Man After FUT Hair Transplant

A skull with thick and full hair is a significant asset in making anyone’s personality, whereas, a few of us don’t care and take their strands for granted until they have vanished altogether.

The extensive shedding of your locks can make you curious about your looks and sometimes throw you into profound stress and anxiety. Then comes the saviour to take you out of this situation, that is, none other than a hair transplant surgery.

What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that includes the restoration of hair in both men and women. It consists of the removal of hair from one part of the scalp (donor site) to be placed at the other location of the scalp (receptor site).

The two most used hair transplant techniques are Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), the strip method and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair Transplant.

Harvesting method (Follicular Unit transplant)

Follicular unit transplant is a conventional hair restoration procedure which includes the extraction of hair follicles from the sides or the back of the scalp in the form of a strip. The obtained strip is then destroyed to separate the grafts.

Key Concepts of FUT

  • FU (Follicular Units)

Formally, it was a misconception that the hair grows individually. But with the later researches and studies, the surgeon came to know the growth of the hair occurs in groups of one to four hair which are known as follicular units.

  • Grafts

A graft is referred to any hair containing tissue that is extracted to be placed at the recipient area. In grafting, a strand tissue without its blood supply is plucked from the donor area and placed at the recipient area where it gets a new blood supply.

  • Donor site

The area of the scalp which has baldness resistant locks, it is generally referred to the sides or back of the scalp. The non-androgenic hair follicles obtained from the donor area used to implant at the recipient area.

  • Recipient area

The bald area of the scalp where hair transplantation is needed. The grafts obtained from the donor area are placed at the recipient area to overcome the baldness. These grafts abstain from falling out and stay there for the lifetime.

Difference between FUT and FUE

When carrying hair transplantation, there are two techniques to choose from, FUT and FUE. In FUT, hair follicles are extracted in the form of a strip, which includes 1-4 hair, whereas, in FUE, each strand is plucked individually.

Most clinics prefer FUE over FUT because it requires a small team to perform the surgery. While in FUT, a large group of expert and skilled surgeons is needed to complete the procedure securely.
