FUT or FUE .....which is better ?? 

It ls the one of the common question which comes in mind of every individual person who is looking for Hair Transplant. Another is what is Hair Transplant & how does it actually works ?

Lets discuss these common queries ...

Hair Transplant  is a surgical treatment to regrow hair on the bald area of the scalp by grafting donor hair. It involves taking hair follicles tissues from scalp area that is unaffected by hair loss pattern and is resistant to hormonal changes that causes hair loss. Those donor hair follicles tissues are then grafted on the bald scalp area to re-start the hair growth cycle. There are two methods used by surgeons for removing hair grafts — Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).

FUT is suitable for:

• Patients who have large bald areas and prefer covering it in single sitting transplant surgery.

• Patients who aren’t bothered about cuts, stitches and are mentally prepared for long recovery process that may take several months.

FUE is suitable for:

• People who want faster recovery.

• People who are scared of cuts and stitches on the scalp, as this method doesn’t need any cutting or stitches.

FUT is a traditional and older technique used for hair transplant in which a thin strip of scalp cut from the area where hair loss is not in effect and has healthy hair growth. Then this cut strip of scalp is dissected into graft.

 On the other side FUE is a new technique in which a specialized hair follicle extraction machine is used to harvest follicular units/grafts from hair-bearing scalp area. This procedure is lot more precise and less painful. In fact patients doesn’t even feel any pain with local anesthetic effect.

Besides the technique used in FUT and FUE for taking donor hair tissues, rest of the hair grafting procedure is pretty much similar. Both the techniques requires cuts on the bald scalp areas by using extremely fine blades and needles. After these cuts and slits are made, donor hair grafts are inserted in the scalp area where hair loss has occurred.

Benefits of FUT Technique:

FUT method is generally suggested by the surgeons to patients who have large bald areas, because with FUT technique large areas can be covered a lot faster and require fewer sittings.

Benefits of FUE Technique:

Given the fact Follicular Unit Extraction method does not require surgery for taking strip of donor hair-bearing scalp, there is no need for making cuts and stitches in this technique, therefore it is a less painful.

No stitches and cuts means there won’t be linear scars, and this method also take less time time, which means the patients can go home next day and may even return to work.

Both FUT and FUE techniques require surgery for hair transplant, therefore it suggested to thoroughly consult with the surgeon about the advantages and disadvantages of both the methods before you pick one. Generally a hair transplant surgery takes several hours for the entire process of taking donor hair and grafting them on bald area, therefore it is important to schedule your work for the day accordingly and be prepared mentally for long procedure of surgery.

After Surgery Care

You must listen and understand the post hair transplant surgery instructions given by the surgeons to take care of hair grafts otherwise you have to face consequences. After surgery, for few days there will be some swelling on scalp and face, which is normal and fades away in few days. Your surgeon would describe your antibiotics, anti-inflammation medicines and painkillers for few days and he may also ask you to use Minoxidil or Finasteride as well.

Newly implanted hair grafts are applied with a liquid for nourishment for few days repeatedly. Grafted hair are washed with mild diluted shampoo with extreme care so that it doesn’t affect or disturb the grafts. These grafted hair naturally fall off in couple of weeks, and after that new hair growth cycle is started that can be seen on the scalp in 3-6 months. Particularly in FUT technique post surgery care for the scars is highly imperative to prevent infection. In this method sutures are removed in a week’s time.
