FUE OVER FUT … Which one is better ?

Patients considering hair transplant surgery will often come across the terms FUE or FUT during the course of their research and wonder how to decide whether an FUE or FUT hair transplant is the right choice for them. There are two surgical techniques by which hair can be removed from the donor area of a patient’s scalp. Follicular unit transplantation, FUT, and follicular unit extraction, FUE. In an FUT hair transplant a thin strip of hair is removed from the donor region. In an FUE transplant each hair graft is removed from the donor region one by one, using a punch tool. Regardless of whether FUE or FUT is used to remove the hair, the method for transplanting each of the grafts is exactly the same. We can have comparisons for both the procedures. 

Can the Same Person Have Both FUT and FUE?

Yes. FUT may be used first to maximize the yield of the initial procedure, but then in subsequent sessions, the scalp may become too tight to perform further FUT/strip procedures or the donor scar may become wider than anticipated. In the former case, the surgeon can switch to FUE for subsequent sessions. In the latter, the surgeon may use FUE to harvest follicular units and then implant them into the widened scar, camouflaging it.

If FUE is performed first and the yield is lower than what the doctor deems acceptable, the patient may consider switching to FUT either for the remainder of that procedure or in subsequent surgeries.
