What Is FUT Hair Transplant Treatment?
A large population is affected by hair loss. FUT and various other methods of hair transplantation are used to help cover the bald spots caused by hair loss. In the fast-moving stressful world, we often get no time to think that stress profoundly affects the appearance of a person, especially the hair. Hair loss in people isn't uncommon, but the latest technology has introduced many new treatments for restoring hair.
Follicular Unit Transplantation is the technique where a thin and long strip of tissue that contains hair grafts is removed from the donor site and then transplanted to the recipient site. The FUT procedure involves cutting a strip of skin from the back or side of the head and extracting individual hair follicles. After this, the follicles are inserted into the balding parts of the scalp.
The FUT hair transplant surgery takes around 4 to 8 hours. The FUT process is a bit quicker compared to FUE. Most patients are awake during the process, with local anaesthesia.
FUT moves the largest number of grafts in a single sitting and gives excellent graft quality — at the cost of a fine line in the donor area that longer hair covers.
What Are The Advantages Of FUT Hair Transplant?
Four reasons FUT remains the right answer for a large proportion of patients.
More Than One Follicle Transplant In One Session
- The significant advantage of FUT is that a higher yield of hairs is promoted in the recipient area.
- If you are looking for a fuller look, FUT is highly recommended, as it helps surgeons transfer more than 4,000 follicles in one session.
The Quality Of The Graft
- The follicular units are monitored using stereo-microscopes and carefully isolated.
- The protective tissue is kept intact, resulting in high-quality grafts and full coverage.
The Rate Of Follicle Survival Is Quite High
- With the latest technology the follicle survival rate is high in FUE, but FUT still has a higher survival rate.
- Patients with limited hair growth are often recommended to undergo FUT surgery over FUE.
Affordability
- The best thing regarding FUT is its cost-effectiveness.
- It helps your surgeon extract many hair follicles in a single session.
The most crucial advantage of FUT hair transplant is that it is easily carried out in a single sitting, and thousands of hair grafts can be performed. It also helps in producing better-quality grafts. Due to its cost-effectiveness and affordability, it is considered an excellent choice among patients worldwide.
What Is The Procedure Of FUT Hair Transplant Treatment?
From marking the hairline to the day you see the result.
Hairline design and anaesthesia
Your surgeon redraws your hairline and the areas of hair extraction are marked. You may have the option of a sedative before surgery, and local anaesthesia is given to the scalp to numb it.
Donor area trimmed
The donor site at the back of your head, from where hair is removed, is trimmed to around 2 millimetres.
Strip removal
Your doctor cuts out a strip of skin containing the hair follicles, which will be used as grafts. The patient is generally awake during the surgery.
Graft preparation
A technician helps remove the hair follicles from the strip and prepares them for transplantation under stereo-microscopes.
Donor area closed
The scalp is closed using sutures.
Implantation
The hair follicles are inserted into the bald areas of the scalp in a natural-looking pattern.
Dressing
Bandaging is then applied to the scalp, and post-procedure instructions are explained before you leave.
Growth
The results are seen within 6 to 9 months of the procedure, and some patients take more than a year to see effective results.
What Are The Risks Or Side Effects Involved In FUT Hair Transplant?
There is a very small chance of complications after FUT. A good blood supply to the scalp helps in quick healing and prevents infections.
Some of the most potential complications may include:
- Unnatural-looking hair
- Swelling at the surgery site
- Pain at or around the surgery area
- Numbness
- Formation of cysts
- Bumps or scarring at the surgery site
What Are The Results Of FUT Hair Transplant?
After the FUT hair transplant surgery, fallout or hair loss might occur for a few weeks. This hair loss is normal for a specific period and indicates the regrowth of new hair. It takes around 10–12 months to see visible outcomes.
Losing the transplanted hairs in the first weeks is not a failed procedure. It is the normal cycle before new growth begins.
What Are Some After-Care Instructions After FUT Hair Transplant?
Patients can return to their homes on the same day of surgery. A set of post-operative instructions is given to every patient to help them take better care of themselves.
Medication
You must abstain from blood thinners and other medications that can cause bleeding.
Activity
Any strenuous activity must be avoided while the donor area heals.
Washing
You must remain cautious while shampooing the scalp.
