In this article, we will delve into the details of fut hair transplantation, explaining the procedure, its benefits, and what to expect during and after the treatment.

What is FUT Hair Transplantation?

FUT, which stands for Follicular Unit Transplantation, is a surgical hair restoration technique that involves removing a strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp. The strip is then dissected under a microscope to obtain individual hair follicular units. These units are meticulously transplanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp, creating a natural-looking and permanent solution to hair loss.

Benefits of FUT Hair Transplantation

1 Natural Results

FUT Hair Transplantation provides natural-looking results, as the transplanted hair follicles match the patient's existing hair in terms of texture, color, and growth pattern.

2. High Graft Yield

The strip method used in FUT allows for a large number of grafts to be obtained in a single session, making it suitable for patients with advanced hair loss or those desiring maximum coverage.

3 Longevity

FUT Hair Transplantation offers long-lasting results. Once the transplanted hair follicles establish their blood supply, they continue to grow like regular hair, providing a permanent solution to hair loss.

4. Minimally Invasive

While FUT is a surgical procedure, it is minimally invasive compared to traditional hair transplantation methods. The incision made to remove the strip is meticulously closed, resulting in a discreet linear scar that is easily concealed by surrounding hair.

The FUT Hair Transplantation Procedure

1. Consultation

The first step is to schedule a consultation with our experienced hair restoration surgeon. During this appointment, your medical history, expectations, and suitability for the procedure will be assessed.

2. Preparation

On the day of the procedure, the donor area (back of the scalp) will be shaved, and a local anesthetic will be administered to ensure a pain-free experience.

3. Strip Removal

The surgeon carefully removes a thin strip of the scalp from the donor area. The incision is closed with sutures, leaving a linear scar that can be concealed by surrounding hair.

4. Graft Dissection

The strip is divided into individual follicular units under a microscope, ensuring their integrity and viability for transplantation.

5. Recipient Site Creation

Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, where the transplanted follicular units will be placed. The surgeon considers the natural hairline and existing hair pattern to ensure seamless integration of the transplanted hair.

6. Graft Placement

The individual follicular units are delicately inserted into the recipient sites, following the pre-determined aesthetic plan. The surgeon pays careful attention to the angle, direction, and density of the transplanted hair for a natural appearance.

Recovery and Results

After the procedure, patients can expect some minor swelling, discomfort, and scabbing, which usually resolve within a few days. The newly transplanted hair will initially shed, but new hair growth should be noticeable within a few months. Over time, the transplanted hair will continue to grow and blend in with the existing hair, resulting in a full and natural-looking head of hair.
