FUT Hair Transplant

Introduction

Hair loss can be a challenging experience, affecting confidence and self-esteem. Thankfully, advanced hair restoration techniques like FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) offer a proven solution for those seeking natural, permanent hair regrowth. FUT is a highly effective method that involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area and transplanting them into areas experiencing hair loss.

As one of Dubai’s leading plastic surgeons, Dr. Vikesh Vij specializes in FUT hair transplantation, delivering personalized solutions for each patient. With meticulous attention to detail and expertise in advanced hair restoration techniques, Dr. Vij ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results tailored to your unique needs.

What Is FUT Hair Transplant?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the strip method, is a surgical hair restoration procedure where a strip of skin containing hair follicles is harvested from the donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp. The follicles are then carefully extracted, prepared, and transplanted into the recipient area.

Unlike FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), which involves individual follicle harvesting, FUT allows for the transplantation of a larger number of grafts in a single session. This makes it ideal for patients with extensive hair loss or those seeking high-density results.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for FUT Hair Transplant?

FUT hair transplant is suitable for individuals who:

Have Significant Hair Loss:

Ideal for those with advanced hair thinning or baldness.

Have a Stable Donor Area:

Sufficient hair density at the back or sides of the scalp is required.

Seek Maximum Graft Yield:

FUT allows for the transplantation of a higher number of grafts in a single session.

Are in Good Health:

Non-smokers with no medical conditions that could impair healing.

Have Realistic Expectations:

Understand the timeline and results of the procedure.

Benefits of FUT Hair Transplant

  • High Graft Yield:

      • Transplants a large number of hair follicles in a single session, making it ideal for extensive hair loss.

  • Natural Results:

      • Hair follicles are transplanted in their natural groupings for seamless integration with existing hair.

  • Cost-Effective:

      • Often more economical than other hair restoration methods for large areas of coverage.

  • Permanent Solution:

      • Transplanted hair is resistant to future hair loss.

  • Minimally Invasive:

      • While a strip of skin is removed, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.

FUT vs. FUE: Which Is Right for You?

Both FUT and FUE are effective hair restoration techniques, but the choice depends on individual factors:

Feature

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

Scarring

Linear scar in the donor area (concealed by hair).

Tiny, dot-like scars scattered across the donor area.

Graft Yield

Higher number of grafts in a single session.

Limited graft yield per session.

Recovery Time

Slightly longer recovery for the donor area.

Faster recovery with minimal discomfort.

Cost

More cost-effective for large areas of hair loss.

Higher cost for extensive coverage.

Donor Area Requirement

Requires a stable, high-density donor area.

Suitable for smaller donor areas or limited coverage.

Dr. Vikesh Vij will guide you in choosing the most suitable method based on your hair loss pattern, goals, and lifestyle.

The FUT Hair Transplant Procedure

The FUT procedure is a precise and effective method performed in several steps to ensure optimal results. The procedure typically takes 4-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts being transplanted. Here’s what to expect:

Recovery and Results

Recovery from FUT hair transplant is manageable with proper care and guidance. Here’s a general timeline:

  • Day 1-3: Mild discomfort, swelling, or redness in the donor and recipient areas.

  • 1 Week: Sutures in the donor area are removed, and scabs around the grafts begin to fall off naturally.

  • 2-3 Weeks: Transplanted hair may shed as part of the normal hair growth cycle.

  • 3-6 Months: New hair begins to grow, filling in thinning or bald areas.

  • 12 Months: Full results are visible, with thicker, natural-looking hair.

Dr. Vikesh Vij provides comprehensive follow-up care to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.
